[mauryc]

So the 78' models have the raised deck and belly tank. Was this the first year of that or was it 77'? I know the 76' models still had saddle tanks.

[Skools Out]

yeah 1978 was the first yr of the raised floors here's a pic of the 1977 inside.

Hey Skool...LUV your '78...WAY COOL!!...what gas capacity?...what max HP?...what the heck???... ;D

[Skools Out]

Thanks it has had twin tanks put in which are 75 gallon tanks so total of 150 gallons and repowering it from one 225 Johnson to either twin 140 Counter Johnsons i got from Blue_Runner or going to use my twin 225 Johnsons to see how fast she'll fly lol. I've put a 3 1/2" thick, 28" high transom in it for twin 25" shaft motors. Hope to be flying soon lol.

[mauryc]

Skool,

My 75' had twin 115 Evinrude short shafts (I need to find a picture) and it was plenty FAST. The comfort of twins when you have older motors makes for a good fishing trip. We were offshore alot so there weren't usually alot of other boats around if you needed a tow. I came back in a few times on a single engine, but the point is I got back in on my own. Never needed a tow.

[Skools Out]

yeah my favorite old saying is "Two Screws are better than One".

[reelapeelin]

TWIN 225s... :o :o...twin 75 gal tanks... :o :o...DUDE!!...Geo. Bush and his hand-holdin' buddy, Sheik Abdulla will LUV you!!!...if it don't sink on the way to the pump... :o ::)...we got some speed freaks on the board, but I do believe you gottem ALL beat...good luck, Brudda...hope she flies for ya... ;D...

"She's comin' apart, Captain"..."FULL thrusters, Scottie...we gotta catch the Romulans before they implode Alpha Centauri..."

[Skools Out]

Thanks lol I'll post some picks once i mount the twins on the boat. I wonder what the GPS will show for speed on her. I've seen one at the coast with Twin 150 Johnsons and it ran out really nice. But he only had one 60 gallon tank. I hope 150 gallons keeps me running awhile. But My 250 Sea Ray holds a ton of fuel at 230 gallons. It hurts to see the gauge below half a tank.

[phester]

skool, there was [is] a guy on board named havis...twin 130/140 OMC , can't remember which, his GPS showed 74.4 MPH WOT...have not heared from lately...maybe he coul'nt shut his throttles down and he's outta gas somewhere in the south pacific

[Franco]

Or he is drag racing the space shuttle!!!!

Hard to believe. My outboard dyno's at 248 hp and I can't break 60mph,and that is with only drag from one motor.

[reelapeelin]

yeah, Franco...if he hit a wave @ 74, it probably would be considered a "launch"... :o...
