Seems like a fairly good deal, if the listing is accurate.
Anyone familiar with this one?????

11-30-2011 06:07 PMAll American is a fresh water boat out of Vermont. Everything is in very good condition and not corroded. All American has been kept in inside storage for a number of years. Before being put in storage her fuel tanks were emptied and professionally cleaned and the carbs and engines were pickled. I just pulled her out of storage, fueled her up, changed her fluids, filters, etc and she cranked right up. Her power is a pair of Merlin World 572 Cubic Inch, 710 HP engines with less than 15 hours. The engines are: Merlin World 572 Cubic Inch, Tall Deck Blocks with a 4.630 bore. Dart Merlin World Cast Iron Heads with 2.3" intake and 1.88" exhaust valves, both valves are race duty stainless steel with heavy duty damper springs and titanium retainers 10* locks screw in studs and guide plates. Comp Cams custom ground hydraulic roller cam with hydraulic roller tall body lifters. Comp cams magnum steel roller rockers with 083" wall 3/8" pro series pushrods w/ 210* radius tip. Eagle 4340 Forged steel crank. Eagle 4340 Steal H Beam Rods. MAHLE 4.630" Forged Dome Pistons. Compression @ 10.5:1. Mahle Plasma Moly File Fit Racing Rings. ARP Head Studs. Dart Merlin, Dominator Flange 8" Marine High Rise Intake Manifold. Felpro Racing Series Head Gaskets. Melling HV Oil Pump W/ Steel Pinned Drive Shaft. Stellings Stainless Big Tube Headers. Engines were internally balanced and then dyno tested . They made 710 hp each at 5700 rpm and approx 725 torque @ 4000 rpm. The engines look and sound great now. A little elbow grease polishing and they will look and sound awesome. Speedmaster #3 Drives and Gimbals, one set up to be counter rotating. Pair of 4 Blade Racing Cleaver Props 17 X 25 and a Pair of 3 Blade Racing Cleaver Props 16.5 X 25. The trailer is a super heavy duty, triple axel, Pintle Hitch, Steel Trailer with Electric Brakes. The trailer has never seen salt water. I put the boat in the water at a marina with their travel lift. $26,000.00 for the boat, or I can separate her out. Each Complete engine (carb to oil pan) for $6500.00, Each Complete Drive with Gimball / Transmission for $5500.00. Boat and Trailer without power or drives for $7500.00. I can deliver the boat, engines, or drives with an agreed upon cost for fuel, etc. If engines or drives need to be crated I can do that with an additional agreed upon cost. If she needs to go overseas then I can assist with the transport. I have more pictures if needed. Call or text me on my cell at 941-266-6304, or e-mail me through Craigs List.

The link isn't coming up.
Sounds like it could be Phil/Ratmans old boat, but last I knew it was in Oregon/Washington area.
He had some big motors (572/577) and 3's (not 3A's) same as this ad.
But, I know his was in the water ~2005/6 I went for a badazz ride in it"Keep the bottle on the bar Ira, I won't be long".

I'll have to do a little digging tomorrow, but I know I have some pics of it.
It was a badass Mistress, all teak cabin, and some serious power. We ran the Gulf in solid 5-7's wide open... Spent more time in the air than the water."Keep the bottle on the bar Ira, I won't be long".

So is this ad a scam? That seems like an amazing deal. One of the engines is worth that isnt it?
