80 for sale

I don't know where everyone comes up eith all of the 408 bashing and bashing my integrety personally. You all sound like a bunch of old hags that watch soap opera's all day. If you don't believe anything SEE IT for yourself. This boat runs better than any other that any of us has seen> Enough said. No the pylon has not been used and the motor was completely removed and a frien at the University is rebuilding it for a project. None of the block short or long was put back in the boat. If you have never been to florida then you should come, there are many fresh water lakes here!

hell give me a call afterwards and i'll spill the beans, won't be the first or last time I get in trouble here.

how would he know it has 500hp anyway, enless its a left hander it cant be dynoed, so I think he is just making a guess, Im going to stop at SECC today and talk to woody!

All I will say, and will not bash the guy, is I have had dealing with him before.
This is as far as I will go on this subject.Woody is the guy he spoke of that did all this work,ie " complete wiring harness"And the 200 yrs combined experience at the dealership,Woody could only come up with 150.
If it looks like a duck, smells like a duck, walks like a duck then chances are it is not a Tweety Bird..............
Thats my story and I am sticking to it.Dont want Keith to ban me for slander of a fellow boater.................Boat Dr

With 80' being a fast hull and that much power that thing should scream. 500hp in that boat sure would scream, but Im not buying it without more details. 500hp is attainable, but the thing would really have to be dialed in. Joe's 408 puts out somewhere on the order of 420hp, if I remember correctly. Assuming a full rebuild was done when he added the stroker kit, the fact that he's still getting water in the engine isnt a good sign- especially with new exhaust (and presumably intake) manifolds.

402 HP is the highest number I got to on the dyno when mine was built. I have changed a few things that picked me up some rpm since then and have a new cam to go in over the winter, I am hoping to be at 425 hp when I am done playing with it but 402 is all I can back up...

Who takes (and posts) a picture of HALF of the engine you're trying to sell? And look what 79 found with that...

I am in no way trying to protect this guy, but the lighting in the pic makes it a little hardd to tell. That coil could possibly be a chrome MSD coil. The coil on my BFN is a canister coil but it's not stock. I agree I am not buying 500 ponies out that engine that he has pictured.

Take a close look at the pictures of the boat notice the rear seat, that's not the way it came from the factory, notice the hinge and carpeted box the seat cushion is sitting on. Now look at the motor, your going to use a MSD spark box with a canister style coil AKA stock coil in a hot motor and then compare the picture from april where the MSD box is missing. And if all of these so called expert CC boys did the work with over 200 yrs experience between them why the hell did they only use one hose clamp on the exhaust hose. Like I said earlier the guy's a ***********.

You still got my cell number?

Sat. and Sun. we'll be over in Daytona...but I'd love to see ya before you go back north.

I'll see what I can do but don't hold your breath, missed Mark in Orlando today and Friday and Saturday are out of the question. I'll see what Monique has to say and go from there.

I meet him and sold him a pylon after listening to him whine that he didn't really have the money for a half hour I finally lowered the price some and then he wrote me a check I was a little ********* about it was expecting cash and the agreed priced before I drove an hour to meet the *********. Guess I'm too nice and should have just walked and sold it to someone else.

I wouldn't recommend anyone on this site buy that boat. One it's been used on salt water regularly and two the guys a little shady and not very trust worthy, more like a weasel and *********.

[QUOTE=79nautique) I've meet him, he's a little different

Well I could say "now there is the pot calling the kettle black"...or...."takes one to know one"....but I like Chris to much.

Mark, theyre right- here's his thread:

Dpresswood's 408

I'd be a little worried about it be run in brackish water there isn't a fresh water lake any where near him and the guy's a little different, I'm pretty sure that the pylon is the one I sold him out of the Bow Movement.
