Starting a new 21 Liberator. Maybe a 400R?

Oh boy, that's the setup I want now. How much is my Liberator worth as a trade in?

Black is slimming? In the book Ironfist, it's said that's why Merc went from white to black.

Its gonna take more then color to make that motor look proportioned on that boat. They are just monsters when you are used to alien cowls.

It kinda reminds me of a big ole gal on the back of one of those crotch rocket motorcycles.

I'm surprised that the engine's only 2 star Carb rated and to think they've given up on the Opti's

you sure it will stay on looks like ruh roh

Boat is beautiful, maybe a small flair on the back would blend the motor in a little. As always a 15" would look killer

Thats badazzz Rindy. Man I hope that jack plate holds up. Look what happened to this poor guy. Is the 400 heavier than the v8 300?

Well I drove 3 hours in the rain today to have Wayne at Wayne's Marine program the new 400. Because it's fly by wire, it has to be set up on his laptop. Here's a few pics along with me draining all the water out of the boat when I got home.

Here's a video of the first start up

Rob,

I don't know if its heavier but you know its gonna build more twist pressure. Especially with how high Randy will run it along with a CNC 5 blade wheel never letting loose.

400R has it by almost 100lbs

**baja200merk** · 06-08-2017, 07:23 PM

Boat looks looks great randy. My guess is 115.6 2nd time out.

Not that it matters but A relic 25" v8 is 555lbs 20" probably 545.

Dry 400r is 668lbs plus 2 gallons of oil your at ~683lbs plus a 40-50lb power steering pump and you have ~730ish on or near the transom. So your closer to 200lbs all said and done. Hp per lb is very close technology is NOT!

Weight didn't break that plate my guess something losened up and hammered it for a few years then it fell of.
