There were quite few 20 footers with 4 cyl setups . Formula had a 23' Liberator with twin 350 chevy's back in the late 70's early 80's. My 1990 Mirage [ 25.7 with built in swim platform] has twin 377's. Spectra had 3 or 4
24 footers with twins , one with twin V-drives setup for racing. I'm sure there are a lot more .

i believe the boat you are reffering to is "WarPath". Very nice boat. staggered blown small blocks.

That's Mike Avila's boat . I would vote for the 28 Pantera with twin big blocks.
Anything smaller ,and the ass end gets way too heavy . I got 2200 pounds of weight in my bay and need both drive and tabs trimmed to get on plane quick .This is what it looks like without the tabs all the way down :220v:

I saw a guy in Parker with a real low profile looking V with twin 454's and Bravo's on the back. Looked like an older Warlock? Maybe a 27 or there abouts? Seemed lower profile then a 27 Warlock though.

Will big blocks fit in that? I've only seen them with small blocks.

I recall reading Powerboat mag back in the mid to late 80's that did a test on a oem 26' Hustler with twin 454's.
The article said the boat needed some tweeking because it was a bit stern heavy (ya think). In the 80's, prop selection was not as abundant as today and I remember they said that prop rework was in order to get max performance in the set up.

I could fit two BB in my boat [ 8' beam ] . The 27 Mirage [ 8' beam] came with twin BB .

Miguel , mercruiser calls the 6.2's big blocks , since they replaced the 454's .
The 27 Hallett can be had with twin 350 mpi small blocks or 6.2 MX strokers . :idea:

I think Advantage was willing to do the Victory 27 with BB's.
