You wanna see something really cool in watercraft check out the SeaBreacher. It uses the same Rotax 4Tec engine found in current Sea-Doo craft.

By The Way !
I've made a change inplans to sell my Scimitar
I'm just about got it ready to list again, but this time, with an original 1981 motor, exhaust thru the "y" pipe prop, 260hp but an Alpha drive, 1.50 ratio, still running in the 60's
I need to sell this baby soon, got to pay for the green one ... and any help you guy's could give would be appreciated.
Jerry, I have turned this place up-side down .. no clue what happened to that windshield thing .. I think you took it home with you ... You Lost it, wasn't me, I didn't do it, wasn't even there, it's All your fault !

Well I lost the one I did have (can't deny that I took a picture) so I guess it must have dropped of between there and here. There's a pair somewhere just waiting for me. I picked up the carpet today.

Harley Earl would be proud Red !

Arkus Duntov would have a big motor in the blue one.

BTW

Built using parts from a genuine Corvette ZR1, the ZR48 oozes style. Its sleek body lines are undeniably auto-inspired, and great touches like genuine taillights and Corvette badges make it a treat to look at. The boat's body is built out of lightweight carbon fiber, which is as strong as metal but much lighter.

After entering through custom gull wing doors, the driver is treated to a true Corvette cockpit, complete with an original shifter and steering wheel. Leather and suede seating provides room for six, and a 8,000 watt sound system ensures that the party never stops.

Guess ya don't just back down the ramp with that sucker.

Hotwired · « **Reply #11 on:** February 25, 2012, 12:15:54 AM »

I saw one similar to that at Barrette Jackson last year ...... did not sell for anywhere near the prices stated here!

Could have picked it up for a mire $700k!

Jerry · « **Reply #12 on:** February 25, 2012, 02:30:42 AM »

It almost looks like the same boat.

Jason · « **Reply #13 on:** February 25, 2012, 11:10:23 AM »

There was one of those at the Mpls boat show this year.

Hotwired · « **Reply #14 on:** February 25, 2012, 11:22:52 AM »

just another cookie cutter $1,000,000.00 boat!! LOL

76bayflite · « **Reply #15 on:** February 25, 2012, 11:25:23 AM »

1.8 if my memory serves me correct. The 1350 engines w/drives were 400k a piece.

Who's counting. There's a recession, haven't you heard?

BTW
Not to change the subject, but Dottie decided the camper needed new curtains, so we went to the fabric store and got $80 in materials and came home "where's my sewing machine?" Well today we went to Sears and spent another $190 (The curtains better be nice), but every place we stopped was packed. You couldn't move in Costco, and there were no parking places at Sears. I did my part to stimulate.

Me too Jerry,

My kitchen floor repair ended up adding the wood mortar and a new Dremel Muli-max to the tune of an additional $150 we didn't want to spend over and above the new tile. Ah well, that Dremel might come in handy with the boat (or anyone else's in the group) that needs a small saw for floor work!

My how the times have changed............this was cool in 1964 (Thats the tow vehicle I am looking for) That is really cool

Retro Performance · « **Reply #19 on:** February 25, 2012, 08:31:40 PM »

So then they stick two car motors in a boat............and they think thats cool......
