I saw that boat for sale on craigslist.
I believe it's got a Monty Mod 1 package. Raise it up. It's too burried in the pics. Should be a nice ride though.

Nice rig! 130 on a Johnson GT crossflow! I'd say Monty was in there! Ought to run well! The other action owners on here can give ya any help ya need!

[saturnracing2]

what kind of mph do you guys expect i should get out of her? im goin to gps this weekend. i haver a raker 26 prop on it

[delawarerick]

I met you at the ramp nice boat. Get a low water pickup and raise the engine. Have the prop staightened so you don't loose the bearings or seals. I would think mid to upper 80s. Another boater here in Miami runs a 235 on an 18 action we run about every 2-3 weeks sure are welcome to join us. We hit the sandbar and run up to 79th st bridge nice eye candy sand bar on right.

Looks like a looper to me...........:confused:

[Action Dave]

Yes. It's a 3 liter looper. My cousin was looking into buying that boat. It needs a nose cone for sure. Get yourself a nice 27 SRX or 28 ChopperII. It will run mid eighties easily with the right set-up.

[Jay R.]

ah, I see, I first looked at it yesterday on my phone when i posted, lil tiny pic, i thought it was an Xflow.

The first V6 looper was 1986. It was 2.7 liter. 1988-up are all 3 liter. Monty doesn't touch cross-flows.

[Jay R.]

check it crossflow V6 has 3 two barrel barbs, Looper has 6 single barrel carbs. in 89, its a looper!

[saturnracing2]

perfect, since we are in the topic of engines... what plugs should i run the NGK BZ7HS-10(2.60 a piece) or a a bit colder plug like NGK BPZ8HS-10(6.50 a piece). It originally was running the 7's.

Yeap, it has individual side-draft carbs percylinder.

:iagree: first looper was 86...

like jay said if it has 6 individual carbs its a looper:thumbsup:...

[Jay R.]

I had an 87 2.7 looper and I always confuse my slef to think 87 was the first year, but they are right, 86 is the year!

Glad to see someone here bought that boat. I actually went to look at it. Hope it runs good for you. Wasn't a bad deal, just needed a little TLC.

[baja200merk]

Its a looper.. YOU NEED A LOW WATER PICKUP! if its got a mod 1 package put a 30p Chopper II, make sure it is a chopper II not a chopper. My 29SRX ran 94 with 14%slip at the same engine height the 30 chopper II ran 100+ with 9% slip... full interior etc and all...

Nice ride! Very well rounded fun boat! Good luck with it...
