Anyone have any pictures of the Mirage "Shockwave"? Especially under hatch photos? I'm assuming the boat ran staggered small blocks. Anyone know the boat and want to tell the story? Thanks!

Wow Ford power. As if you can't spend enough money in offshore as it is... Anyone ever run Chrysler power in offshore?
I was asking about the bilge shots and stuff because I've been thinking (aka "fantasizing") about doing a staggered twin small block set up in a race Pantera. I wanted to see if others had run something similar and what it looked like. I'm guessing this is one of a few small boats (26' - 30') that run staggered motors.

The answer to the Chrysler question is yes. The first Systems boat was Chrysler powered.

Hydra has done a single 30(ish)ft w/ mopar power.
BTW, sean... you looking to beat me at building a 28 twin-sbc?
Maybe talk to Jo about a race full stagger, and a pleasure short stagger together for the Miami show(2012? )
Buy one get one 1/2 off?... and of course, mine would be the one half off!

Better late thean never ....
Here is the SHOCK WAVE boats in the order they ran:

Rich got the boat from Finish Line. Ran it a few years and then the Hustler came. After the Hustler came the Fountain which is now On The Chip. Rich bought the Zenetix Fountain after that I believe and ran that under Rio Roses.
You will find an engine compartment shot in there without the engines. You will see how it was set up as a staggered boat.
