    Doubt that she has 8V71 in there. Gives you lots of confidence in the seller.

    So even if their not damaged by water their useless. If she was not in Oregon may krush would take her on but with the prices of running ones I see her as nothing but a money pit.

    Never seen one. I thought they all had 12V71 or 8V92. Must have been a real slug with 8V71s

    50's did for sure. Billy Black on the famous Dutchess put 40,000 hours on a set of 8n's 11kts top speed. WTH? That's all most of these jokers do anyhow!

    40,000 hours is what 3 trips at the speed of dark?

    I had an 11 kt boat years ago in ny. Canyon trips were 2 to 3 days. It was a slug held back with weights.

    Billy fished everyday out of Walkers Cay for over 30 years. Lines go in the water at the drop off. No need to run. You can chase birds for a tuna bite but most of the idiots I see do that just drive the fish down and scatter.
