    Hope you are only selling to step up to something larger. If anyone wants information about the engine, feel free to have them contact me. I know the guy who did the intake on your boat wishes he never bet you it didn't make 700 HP.

    Not sure where i'm heading yet. Just need some liquid money for a few things coming up. Yes i will be stepping up in the not so distant future to a large cat and having you build the power for that as well but, My goal now is to sale this boat preferable without power so i can use it in another project for the time being (which is why i didn't post much motor info ).
    Anyone considering the motor package feel free to contact me or barry for more info. Barry built an awsome pieace and difinatly made me a customer for life.

    I don't think you will have a hard time selling it once someone takes a look. I know how much work you put into that boat. Good luck with the sale.

    It was going a pretty respectable speed for a pump gas NA engine. I forget the exact number so will have to leave it to him to post.
