Engine Choices- Another ?

[GotHalos]

I remember seeing another listing for that same boat somewhere. If I remember right it's not a flat bottom, it has the pantara bottom ( I think it called that). I believe those hulls were supposed to be jets, although I have a friend that has one set up with an O/B. Plus that boat doesn't have a BBC.

Any idea what engine it has? I'm almost positive it sold, but I could be wrong.

Don't get discouraged. 5k can get you a boat that will enable you to have a lot of fun in and you will be able to work on it as needed. That boat you posted a link to looks like a nice old ski boat. It would be smart to take someone who is familiar with older v drives with you when you check one out.

Thanks I've seen some good deals out there but they sell in a matter of days. Hoping I'm in the right place at the right time sooner than later.

The first v drive I bought was a 77 Centurion with a Pantera bottom. The Pantera bottom makes a great lake boat because it handles rough water better than a flat bottom and it doesn't take any skill to drive them. It had a stock Harmon Marine 460 Ford and would run 70 mph. I paid $2500 bucks for that boat, drug it home and detailed it, spent another $500 on it fixing little things. Thrashed many a jet boat with that thing and then sold it a couple of years later for $3500. That's how you have fun with a boat!

That's how you do it!
