My little fishin mota.

[dagodiver]

Every time I'm out with my T3 people ask what motor
I'm running. Its a very early 80's chrome 2.4 200.
Block is stock. Has about a trillion hours on it.
Most at 7k rpm's. Yes the front half is early 80's offshore
updraft case injection but nothing special.
I'm called a bull ****ter but I'm serious. This ain't no
diamond marine fire breathing 280.
Setup setup setup and my hull weight is #486.
That's gotta help a bit.

Hey Mike I finally did my 2.4 in on Saturday at the suwannee with Tom
I changed the lower out with another coned unit I had and now that I look at it the bullet was just a hair bit higher on the case than the other one It held great water pressure right up til the boat started flying and apparently my buzzer isn't working either it never seized but I lost a couple pounds in compression and got a loose wrist pin or something on #2 it has been a great one but time to rebuild

[APACHEKID]

Motor is badazz love the way she sounds

[dumbnfun2]

I know what u mean ... I had a 2.4 200 on a 05 mirage river racer with a 12" mid before I switched to a bigger motor ... And I had a guy in a Allison straight up call me a liar and argue with me and say it says 280 offshore on ur cowl ... I had to pull the cowl just to calm him down :) he had a 260 and I drove around him like he was standing still :)

[tb2054]

i used to race in a class called stock appearing!!! not what they looked like. but what was on the inside :cool: lol

[tux974]

Very cool and impressive!! Funny when they come ask you, what is under the cowl when you out run them and they find a mean little thing....:reddevil:...;):D

[XstreamVking]

Sometimes it's the loose nut behind the steering wheel that makes a boat exceptionally fast for what it is.

[SANTAFE]

I had no idea T-3s were that light.

[dagodiver]

Sorry Eric about the motor.
Im building a laser 200 now.

Jack said the T3 I have came out a bit light.

Dago.

[Mr. Demeanor]

Photoshop :D

[BigMouthJG]

Dago and i are the same in the fact that we both have 2.4s that i no i beat mine like circus animal! good times for sure but i finally swapped over to a lazy injected 200 with a 15 i love it, and kept my 2.4 as a back up.

[THE HOSER]

Weight makes all the diff for given HP,went from 1900# daytona to 900 # twister same power = more fun it was like going from caddy to sports car

[FUJIMO]

The early 80's chrome bores were great all around motors. My favorite. Would like to find a couple freshwater, all original shortblocks.
