Default If skools lost his mind

This is what would happen if skools lost his mind, he would hang a big ole V8 gas guzzling 2 stroke on a V-20 style hull with a bracket. Could you imagine how poorly balanced it must be? That V8 weighs in close to 600 IIRC, and a 20' DUSKY is a V-20 copy. Besides the fact that the hull from DUSKY was only rated for 200HP back them with a lighter V6, that V8 must be INSANE. Not to mention the fact it's aXP which is a true 300+HP at the prop. I sure hope he added extra tanks as the 300 was known for it's fuel burn of around 20GPH at cruise, and about 32-35GPH at WOT.

look at the motor bracket is at the top of the transom, lol i bet the transom is 24 to 30 inches deep lol. If it's a true gov commerical hull it will be unrated and has a thicker hull plus they have extra floation, so yes it would work and be legal only if it is a true ex-law boat.

the v8 weighs in at 575 or so, 528 on a 3.4 e-tec, 3.3 524, 2.6 433

now a yammie is at 604 lbs on that beast of a f250, f200 583lbs , f150 475lbs

this would never happen but if brp made another V-8 it would probably be between 3.4 - 4.4 liter it would demolish anything the japs could make.

brp is in a weird position at the moment, with their market mix, i wish they would tweak their ad campaign a little and they would sell alot more.

I think the seller has lost his mind with the price, those V-8 OMC's were last made in what, 87, 88?

Thats a 20 year old rig.
