Default Re: Porpoising Seavette

Those speeds are not that ridiculous.

You may recall that the early '79 to '84 Thunderbird Formula 233SE (later called the 233LS) was available for order with twin 350ci/260 hp engines and (in '83-84) "Scimitar" gearcase sterndrives right from the factory, and could reach 74 mph "out of the box" in this config. (Post 1984 this was only available on the 242LS, 242SI or 272LS)

The same hull was also available with a single 454ci. 330, 370, or 440 hp big-block Mercruiser and TRS drive.

Standard power, however, was a single 198 hp Mercruiser or twin 170hp 4 cyl. Mercruisers
