Default Re: Not a seacraft but.......

Martini is a great boat. They came in a variety of lengths from 21' to 27', and back in '84 only the 27' was available with twins. In the marina where I worked in '84, we had a 24' with a single Mercruiser 454 420hp and TRS drive. The owner said it would go 68-70 mph. The exhaust exited thru-hull on both sides of the drive below the waterline while at rest. Only on plane did it exit into the air. It was cool, but I'd never keep it in the water overnight.
