J.O. Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 That'd be one heck of a prop sync system to keep those babies in tune! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John S. Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 I'm thinking of how ugly it might be if one fails. My gawd - the dreaded seven engine docking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 You're all missing the real problem. Changing all those 5 gallon gas tanks with the little squeeze ball to prime each motor! SCUBA O2!! CHANGE #3!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kip Powick Posted February 26, 2008 Author Share Posted February 26, 2008 The Truth......... The boat was used by drug smugglers running between France and England. With the 1000 horses on the back the Brits could not catch the boat, they stated that it was "just a blur" on their radar. They finally used a special helicopter to track and get the boat.

Spinnaker Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Looks too noisy.... Hey... if that was a dig over hear Kip, I'm not totally 'anti' stinky boat. My neighbor is an AC pilot who was on a pairing the other night. I was in my sailboat hitting the teak with bronze wool. Next door, his large and stinky 'Gin Barge' had a bilge pump going full time. I called the Marina vessel hotline and found him through a friend before his P.O.S. sank to the bottom. So I have some heart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussD Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 The Truth......... With the 1000 horses on the back If those are Yamaha 250vx it would be 2000hp on the transom. (8 x 250). No wonder it was a blur . Nothing but 8 props in the water when it's going I'm guessing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
