1980 13' Twistercraft 150 merc NOS

[rock]

I have owned it for near 2 years. Put it in water once and threw throttle return spring so I put it back on trailer. Starts and runs good but life has a funny way of changing ones direction and I no longer need this boat. I have posted links to 2 threads by Moomba pertaining to the boat and motor. Pretty much covers things. I did replace switch box but did not address the rigging issues with the nitrous. It is all there but I planned on changing it to a manifold and I just didn't get that far. Boat still looks new as does motor cover. Comes with full cover on decent trailer. Has been stored indoors since I purchased it. Motor is a 150 inline on T2 mid with Speedmaster lower in case you don't want to read thru the threads but I highly recommend you do. The pictures I have are too big to post. $6500. Thanks

Guys all I can tell you is you wont ever find a nicer hull than this one. It was as close to new as you could find one when I sold it to Rock.

Rock if he wants the motor I may be interested in the boat and trailer.

[rock]

Yes Michael, it is a Keller. Good eye.

Old Racer, pm sent.

Steve,.....If he is interested in the motor I will let you know. Boat is in exact same condition as when it left New Hampshire. I only tried to use it once and it started well but ejected throttle return spring so it went back on trailer. I planned on selling motor seperate if no response to bump and have bought a 115 Chrysler Charger ( orange and white to match the boat) but would be willing to sell without motor.

How'd the 115 turn out?

[rock]

It's a 115 Charger (whatever that is ) and is only the third Chrysler I have ever owned. It is patiently waiting for me to get my head out of my ... and decide what I am going to do with it. While it looked good on the Twistercraft why would anyone put a stock 115 Chrysler on a ultra lightweight, single seat race boat..

Is it a 78+ , one piece lower with side bullet pickups?
It should have TC carbs. Is it a distributor or full electronic ign? Good motors that are 3.375" x 2.8" 99ci. 165psi will work fine with good pump gas. 32-34* ign. All the good cleanup port squaring, reeds etc work. Those 78+ 115 were underated, Chargers usually were blue cowl those years , changed colors a couple times but its really just SS prop black coated and ptt. What year, tag is in lower front cowl. Weight is a lean 265lbs with a 20" leg.
In 1977 the 99 ci with TC and 165psi was a 135. In 78 they stroked to 2.876 and the 103ci 140 was the replacement.
The short 2.8 some say turn better rpm but my 103 turns 6200 , ex bridges cut ports cleaned etc.

Could also be a highring, pull the covers have a peek

I am going thru the motor pile and getting everything in good running condition cuz everything is going up for sale. Moving into a much, much smaller shop and would rather sell some of this stuff than move it.When I get to the Chrysler I will definitely be in touch. You obviously know a bunch more about Chryslers than I.

That little hull looks light , should move alright. Not quite Merc fast with that Merc lower but if it's a powerflow 1.73 side bullet intakes with the right prop, height it'll run and sip fuel.
