scottyboy · 24-07-2005, 08:19 PM

Would you use it again if you put a new floor in it? Or do you mean convert it back to normal seating arrangment and then sell it?

The only Bladerunner with a genuine V24 sticker on the side....

MrRob · 24-07-2005, 09:12 PM

Why do u want to sell it?

verytricky · 25-07-2005, 01:40 AM

I have it up for sale so I ca be open to new ideas. I have a thought about a ProVee boat.

I want to sort the Bladerunner before I sell it, so it reliably tops 80mph. Once I have done this, I can sell it on knowing that the person buying it would get a good deal. - I dont want to be defeated by the boat not being the best the boat can be. At the same time, it is not what I thought I wanted. I dont like to open air, I dont like the breeze in my hair and the splash of water etc.

I want a canopy styled boat that can do 100+ - a genuine 100+

glen76 · 25-07-2005, 12:50 PM

there was a 4ltr or 6ltr batboat b28 for sale(last week but cant find it now), its open but maybe you could get pascoe to wack a canopy on it off a v24, or cut into for a leisure layout... who made the race b28 anyway. depends if u want someting off the shelf or if ur like me and always see potential ideas and projects (that are usually out my league) in everything

aaaah , yes, that would be me then.......

Matt · 25-07-2005, 01:27 PM

Marc, have you considered the downsides of a canopied boat?

MrRob · 25-07-2005, 07:31 PM

Why dont you get Gav to knock you up a Canopy? Who can make one a piece of piss. I am sure if you dropped the promax's off and went for race engines then you could easy get 100mph+

Doubt it!!!

How much power are race motors going to gain you unless you go for stupid 2.5 11000RPM 400hp race gas 10 hour (probably less) motors.

JamesM · 25-07-2005, 07:42 PM

Even then thats only a 200hp gain and probably less torque! Is that really going to gain 20mph on a big heavy boat like a blade.

bert · 25-07-2005, 10:02 PM

maybe a couple of 275 verado`s tune up to the nuts i don`t know but heard you can get an extra 100hp + if they fit thats nearly 800hp

MrRob · 25-07-2005, 10:05 PM

NICE! that would also get around the air intake problem.

as JBD said tuned up race 2.5's produce 400hp each but 800hp prob aint enought to push the blade to a ton
