It is installed in a 1985 Century CTS 21' waterski boat. These photos are not my boat. Everything seems to work but the interior is in need of replacement. I am considering adding a mount for a pedestal seat (bass boat seat) on the bow and the stern, also an electric trolling motor and a hard surface on the engine cover. I want to make it into a morning fishing machine and an afternoon fun boat. I have run it 3 days and really enjoyed it. Top speed indicates just shy of 50 mph. 35-40 mph seems to be a nice cruising speed. The 3 skegs mounted just forward of the engine allow it to turn very stabily on a dime.
Very nice! I'm assuming your next purchase will be your own oil well?
Looks like a fun boat with a big ass motor.
Dad bought a boat this year to enjoy with the grandkids in the coming years. We thought we wanted a pontoon (because family) but a deckboat fell into our lap from someone across the lake. Great mix of a lot of space for people and having an actual hull instead of pontoons.

Because if you thought racetrack gas was expensive, you haven't met marina gas...
My boat lives on the trailer in my driveway, it gets filled with the cheapest petrol in town and 20 gallons Extra in cans. I took this same boat out about 8 or 9 years ago when it was docked on lake Fenton. I ran it for 2 hours rand spent 80 for fuel. The airport is cheaper

I came in here expecting acquisition of some four-wheeled Malaise-era barge...
