Screaming and Flying: Action 19 with TWIN Mercury V6 engines. What??
Alright, who can identify the driver of this insane Action? I know at least some of you know who this is.
This photo amazes me - I wouldn't have even thought mounting two V6s would be possible on that boat. I would imaging this setup would require a lot of ballast in the bow and it was probably a handful to drive. I'm also wondering if full throttle was even possible, and how fast it went.
It may not be right, but it's still cool.
Correction - it's a 17 Action. Thanks Andy

PS, I thought for sure that was photoshopped.
PSPS, is that Revvinrude in the Elvis side burns
I'd rather be competitive w/junk I built in my garage than win w/stuff I bought.
I refuse to allow common sense to interfere w/my boat buying decisions.
