Haven't gotten a call, I don't think a link would matter at this point.
Maybe it's not worth what I would like to get for it.
I'm always open to a reasonable offer though.
I have a spare engine & trans also.

Thanks Jim
Look at how much of the bottom of the boat is in the water.. Not much.
That's why they go FAST with not a lot of power.
When this boat had the B&G big engines which were about 550 hp it ran 93 mph.
Now to be able to handle it @ 95 is another story, but Bill G is absolutely the best there is.

It has a 2 454's low hp. It is set up to P-5 class specs from 2004.
I think the breakout speed was 70 mph. With the props that are on it it runs 73 wide open. I have used the boat this way for 4 years now with very few problems.

It has been a perfect pleasure boat for my family & I for 5 or 6 years.
Not a lot of frills but a blast to run & holds 6 people comfortably.
When you pull up to your favorite bar or restaurant on the water the people just go nuts over it every time.
It is a true piece of offshore history & still 95% original the way it came out of the factory & in great shape.

10-15-2011 07:34 PMu couldnt run it in 5 OPA or 4 SBI now anyways....only single engines allowed !
but in class 4 OPA it would run awsome with some bigger power..85 breakout !
so twin 500 HP or even more..would be the ticket to race it in OPA !
other then that .i think its a great pleasure poker run boat for LOW $ !
GOOD LUCK with the sale !

When it had the B&G engines, about 550 hp each it ran in the low 90's....92-93
Gary Hartman @ B&G in Point Pleasant NJ. built them & throttled for Gazell a bit & has done 90% of the work on the boat during its racing days.
Gary is a friend & was in Fl last week. He serviced & went over the boat for me.
