    Mercury Racing 2.5 ROS 20" Offshores

    Mercury Racing 2.5 ROS 20" Offshores that still run great --

    Virgins, no windows, no welding, no repairs, never been into by anyone
    Leak down 2% to 3% to 6% on any of all 18 cylinders with a Snap-On Leak Down Tester By Certified Mercury Marine Mechanic

    All (3) are for sale

    I'm going to go to (2) 300 xs motors

    If you are interested in purchasing any of these motors:

    E MAIL ME AT:
    triadboats@yahoo.com

    NO Phone calls, No PMs --- Just email me if you are interested in purchasing a motor -- please no "tire kickers"

    Motors are $12,500 each plus freight or you pick up at TRIAD Power Boats in Modoc, SC 29838

    I will paint the top cowlings Black for you for free, most east coast people dont like the custom paint job deal
    or for $ 500 extra, I can replace the engine cowlings with a TRIAD carbon fiber aftermarket 280 race cowl and bottom pan

    Nope....no water problems with engines at all at all. Engines run GREAT.

    All you needed to do was pay a professional to go check it out.

    Boat will be for sale at end of 2015 boat season with (2) new 300 XS motors on it.
    You can hit the " Buy It NOW" button then.

    That's great. The silt markings under the deck made me think they could have gone under. And you can start up a wet motor and take videos of it running. 25k seemed to good to be true, expecially when the lister does not say they didnt get wet, but will diclose hints to how full of water the boat got.

    Good for you having it "checked out by a proffesional" and congrats on the buy. I was gonna do the same thing, sell off the power, fix my free boat, and put two 300xs on it. But in the long run I want a f26 and a clean original boat....dont worry about me hitting the buy it now in your auction in 2015.

    For the record, i am disclosing what I know about the boat just like we see here all the time. I did not know that or if you knew the boats history. It sold months ago so it could hav changed hands a few times.

    Mr Bridgeport:

    I just started making these 280 cowlings in Carbon Fiber. We have made 280 cowlings off and on for years for people in different stages; finished, painted urethane automotive Black, with decals and aftermarket hardware and a stainless steel plate in the pan. Complete ready to drop on, skirt included set.

    We have also sold them as a "you finish it kit" where you put all the supplied hardware on, you paint it and you get your own decals.

    I did this one the other day in carbon, because we were making a carbon fiber exhaust diffuser body panel for a Lamborghini, for a customer, and we had the carbon out on the table (its normally stored wrapped up in plastic and in a box in the supply room).

    We made the skirt, face plate, and the main cowling. I still have to make the bottom pan. So, I dont have any pricing calculated yet.
    But yes, it will be available as a completed unit, and probably as a "you finish it kit"

    I will email pics and pricing when this one is completely finished. We are also in the process of making Plugs and Molds so we can produce 3 liter cowlings.

    We also make aftermarket DRAG cowlings in "you finish it kits", or completely finished black, and also offer them in "immersion graphic designs and prints" which are cleared with 2K auto urethane. We do most of those in a carbon fiber print.

    If have any other questions, or need info, please contact me at:
    triadboats@yahoo.com

    Or I might keep the powerhead and put it on the camo boat. Camo boat has a carb 200 2,5 now. You really notice the difference when you drop 80 - 100 horsepower

    DDT readings on port side RH motor

    Total hours.....208.9

    78% of total time below 4,000..RPM


    DDT Readings Breakdown:

    0 to 0999 RPM = 87.5
    (Almost half of total hours )

    1,000 to 1,599 RPM = 7.2 hrs .

    1,599 to 2,999 RPM = 25.6 hrs so now past 50% of total hours below 3,000 RPM.

    3,000 - 3,999 RPM = 43.2 hrs
    So far 163 hours of 208 total is below 4,000 RPM which is 78% of total hours

    4,000-4,999 RPM = 12.6 hours

    5,000-5,999 RPM = 4.7 hrs

    6,000 - 6,999 RPM = 1.9 hrs

    7,000-7,999 RPM = 0.1 ( one tenth of 1 hour ) = 6 minutes

    8,000+ RPM = 0.0

    21 seconds of RPM limit ( in 15 years of use)

    He could have run consumer boxes.
    (7,750 limiter)

    I guess when you have almost 900 horsepower on the back of a 26' boat designed for 600 you don't need to push it very hard
