IMPO, I think you will be very disappointed after the first day out. Twins or single BB I/O will be the proper call for a boat like that.
If that boat is not setup to run 100 it will not be enjoyable and actually very boring.....JM2cents.

t, your probably right but what you might not know that boat has a 2 ft cut out in the bottom, years ago superboat made 30s with a 2ft cut out the purpose in his mind was to market it with a single evenrude, I know because I had one and put 2 300 promaxs on it allthough it ran in the mid 90's it was a handfull ..... Mario had to put 100s of lbs in the bow so really its a 26 not a 28

Sounds interesting, proper balance for lift will be the key. Not sure 400 hp will be enough for the performance you will be happy with. But interesting idea..
Can they made a special light weight for a single OB ?Last edited by dnelson964; 06-27-2015 at 10:02 PM.

Joe, fully aware of the 30 Tempest!
I owned the old Ocean Outboard race boat with modded 260's that ran very well but was definitely a hand full once it was air out. Not fun or safe with you did not have plenty seat time.... IMPO!
The notch on mine was a solid 3' and was custom built for Tony G which was very light!
BTW, I remember well Mario bolting the elevator weights to your bulkheads.....
Once they notch the boat its like the 30 Act-Rage having the 27 bottom that is why they run so well and fast....
PS; a single 400 will be a MAJOR mistake on that boat!!
Here it is at the 2004 Hot Toddy after I sold it to Tommy and he put those graphics!

Drives were shot only cases we any good. Pinion nuts were on with about 20 ft lbs and carrier nuts almost came out by hand. Good looking boat.

THats how it looks now. No grapics. Guy said hes putting 300xs's on it and says he wants $14.000 each for the 260's cause they are special race motors
