Single gas 8.1 L HO

It's a tarpon boat so it needs a gas engine... it's a sound thing with tarpon... just trust me... been doing it long enough.

Thanks - yep, it is a 20 year old dream come true. The price was right on - it was no more expensive than a production boat and after meeting with Tim Winters, I can tell you the innovation and attention to details is superior to anything I ever dreamed of. We are building this thing one inch at a time and every inch will be thought out 10 different ways. Since it will be a tarpon only boat, there won't be any big fish boxes and lure storage will be tailor-made for tarpon lures we use. Right down to where the trash is going has been planned. Building a custom boat like this is the coolest boating experience I have ever had.

LOL. He already has one. Doubt he needs two. Though the spare parts may help him stay on the water more. Smile
