Shame about the Trimax.
As Chaos said, if you want to go with new Mercruiser, the NXT or SSM6 are your options. The Bravo One XR is rated for a maximum of 600 hp.
Alternatively, you could look at Imco or Konrad or perhaps a used/rebuilt SSM V. None of these options will be cheap. What do you mean by cost effective?

Cost effective I really mean cheap. What would be the cheapest complete package ie engine /box and drive? I was thinking of marinising a 454 and super charging it. If there is a better /cheaper option I'm all ears?

Did it race as World of cars with Ken Throne and Nicolini?
If I remember correctly the Geir Arnestad design went with Nicolini to Italy and the Nicolini Searacer emerged soon after.

from porpoising. They changed the angle of the last running surface and were so satisfied with the result that they decided to
splash it. That is what I was told.
Beautiful boat!!!

Yup, Ken Thornes boat, also named 'Colourmet' at one point. (ex Ugland)
I think world of cars was another Ken Thorne boat though. There was a very odd, narrow OB powered one that I think was WOC.

Konrad ACE with XF upgrade has a BHP Rating of 800 BHP (petrol).
I have a pair for sale: http://www.boatmad.com/forum/showthr...ghlight=konrad
but would prefer not to split them. I can recommend Konrad highly as an alternative to Merc.

Hi MD, I last saw Baby Uno looking very unloved in the yard at Maritimo Offshore on the Gold Coast. Are we talking about the same boat?

Not too sure but I think was a few years. Not sure how Bill B-C came by it and when.
It's a great looking boat and it would be great to see it running again.

I have not heard that it sunk, I saw some pictures a year ago, and it was in it storage, i believe the boat is in good condition.
