I'm sure I'm known around here as a story teller more than advice giver.But about twins, I use to have dreams of hanging a 2nd 245 hp off the back of the starflite and I told that to my duefise boating friend about it! But that duefise friend was the one with the timeshear in keywest during the offshore worldfinals week. Anyways I was able to over look his sillyness for one week a yr.

But as part of the show they would a parade the boats down Duval street with the drivers.So we're hanging out watching the show and my idoit friend approaches a boat with the same twin mota's hanging off and tells the driver, That I wanted to hang twins off my boat!And the driver ask's WHAT KIND OF BOAT DOES YOUR FRIEND HAVE? And the dingdong goes a 21 ft Checkmate.The Driver says OH"HE"LL KILL HIMSELF!!!!!!!!!

I saw this pix over on S&F. It is the "Budweiser" boat that has been on ebay several times but this pix is when it was new.

I dont know why everybody was dogging on that Bud boat. it was in OK shape. I bet the guy who has it got it for way less than it was listed for.

I think somewhere he said $10K. Seems alright. Motors gotta be worth 3 or 4 alone.
