Picked up an 84" twin twin QD Apache

gforce created the topic: Picked up an 84" twin twin QD Apache

Hey guys. This dude down the street had this boat for sale. I heard about it on the grapevine. My buddies that know nothing about boats were telling me that this guy has this huge boat that he ran once broke a shaft and he shelved it for a few years. He basically had it as a conversation piece. When I saw it I was shocked. How could such a bada$$ boat be so close and I not know anything about it? The engines are pristine!!! The pistons are shinny like polished and the walls of the sleves are still crosshatched. The plugs are stock. I talked to Mitch over at QD and he told me that if the engines are not hurt which i think they are not they are the baddest things around. He also said that the boat is pretty much a novelty like a Roadster with a hemi and two 871 blowers. My comment to him was "whats wrong with two 871 blowers??? It is a bit impractical because of the size but its not an every weekend thing..

Yeah guys this thing looks like a handfull!!! Mitch over at QD told me that the engines are really to powerful for the driveline. They popped a lot of the 1/4 inch flexshafts. This boat is updated with the 5/16 shafts but the engines still snap the shafts. These babies have a ton of power. If anyone has any suggestions on rigging this thing with solid driveshafts and universals I'm open to suggestions. Thanks..

Awsome boat. I am jealous.:)

If you don't mind me asking, what did you pay for it? Thats a really expensive setup.
