None of them ride nice to be fair. The fountains are probably the best riding boat out there and even them get ugly in swell.

The 40 outlaws aren't nearly as bad as the smaller boats though.


Twin 502s? N/A?

Boat was bought with tripple 502's, Original owner had took it to a shop in Florida and had 6-71 blowers put on. Supposedly a "750hp" package. It's got some hours on it and motor 2 only builds 1-2 lbs at 5500rpm when we tested it out on the water last week. Not sure if I just want to yank that one blower out or pull all 3 motors and go through them. If I only went to lake travis I wouldn't worry about it but the boat club I've been running with runs all over in the salt and the last thing I want is to be stuck in the middle of fuck all nowhere with a torched motor right off the bat.

Eh I don't think (think) it will be too bad. Everything checked out aside from that bad blower. Compression and leak down was fine across all 3 blocks. The previous owner dumped a lot of money into the boat from the looks of it. Blocks all have 319 hours on them since the "power package" and boat has a total count of 390 hours.

The person I bought it from does not know what is inside the blocks and does not have the information about the "kit" Even if the motors are fine, I'll probably still run through them just to see what is actually there. A set of gaskets is a lot cheaper than new blocks.

These are the old series BDS blowers. They were nothing to write home about anyways. Wouldn't be surprised if the rotors are roached already.

But yes, I fully understand where this rabbit hole could go. It is a boat after all.
