Wow you guys are awesome! Thanks. I wish that the admiral would go for it; I would partake in the four-boat theory. I do have two jet skis that might count as a partial boat. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Well as it looks I’m going to be the proud owner of a 78 seavette. I made an offer and he accepted. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] I have a contract on the boat. I plan on leaving out early Friday morning to go pick it up. Now I just need to find a good home for my Sceptre.

Assuming it's the 330 hp 454 I would assume a top speed in the low - mid 50's. Nice thing is, that engine can easily be made to produce over 400 hp.

Thanks Craig. I wouldn't mind meeting another CSC'er .
I just got off of the phone with the owner. He said that he has paper work for it to be built as a 420HP 454, and they put the engine on a dino and it dinoed out at 500HP [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] I just hope that the engine doesn't require premium fuel (which it probably does).
