Hey waker319, I'm new to this site and looking for a used boat as well. I just have to throw my two cents in on that 93. First, the games the guy was playing would make me walk away, but more disturbing is running the engine with out water. It says at least one of two things to me: He doens't know enough about boats to know better, or he doesn't care. In my experience around race cars and motorcycles, running an engine without coolant is the fastest way to warp and crack heads, or crack the block. When it comes to used vehicles, the owner is a huge factor when I consider buying. It's tough to walk away when you have the green light and the money to buy, but the instant gratification can quickly become long term grief. Since you motorcycle, you must have bought a few here and there. Once I went to see a GPz 750, I was sure I was going to buy it. The guy met me in the parking lot of his apartment, and without hardly saying hi or letting me look at the bike, he got on, and started it. He seemed frustrated that he had to use the choke, so he held the throttle open and worked it up to nearly redline where he held it for what seemed like an eternity. Finally he let it drop down to idle, but kept blipping the throttle so much i couldn't tell if it would idle. He proceeded to push back a few feet, then dropped it in first, ran it to redline and dropped the clutch and did a huge burnout. I shook my head and walked away without saying a word. He shut is down, and as he realized I was leaving started swearing at me. There are so many immature people out there that can run equipment into the ground very pre-maturely, and in my opinion it's not worth the risk if you get that spidey sense that something is off.

I'd rather have the email sync than the boat....

Mike, I think you may have been mistaking the valve covers for the identifying bars cast into the rear of the heads. correct me if I'm wrong, but the GT40's have 3 bars cast into the rear, and the GT40P's have 4? That's where you might be mixed up.

Ahh, those are the valvecovers. Pretty tough to ID the heads based on what valve covers are bolted to them.

If he were to post a picture of the end of the head, the number of "bars" in the casting woul help identify them.

What heads and what grooves are you referring to? You cant see the heads in the picture I see above... am I missing something?

mdvalant wrote: Regardless of the protec or not, shouldn't it be 285hp based on the heads?

If its a Pro Boss, then yes- it would have GT40 heads and would be in the 285-300hp range.

Since it doesnt say Pro Boss on it though, it would more likely be the 240-255hp base 351w.

Either would have had the Protec, but like Andrew said, it may have been swapped out for a conventional ignition system. Tough to tell for sure based on the pictures.
