Hot Rod,

If you do not go with turboshaft, you might as well stay home. Anything
that uses the same engine as my mother's station wagon is not
interesting at all. But lack of vibration and the smell of jet-A makes
a neat change of pace from the antique piston engine stuff.

By the by - rec.boats.racing is largely dicussions of RRS05 (Racing
Rules of Sailing) and tactics. Stay with r.b.r.power.

I'm currently looking at a 30' single hull of shore HULL ONLY that someone
it town just wants to get out of their driveway. The Hull has been sitting
for 5 years but the only problems seem to be the clear coat on the boat
peeling. Since this boat does not currently have any engines or drives I'm
wondering what my options might be? The boat is setup for twin Big Block
motors however Since nothing is in place yet I can do what I like. I'm not
worried about high end speed and the boat will be mostly used in the great
lakes and just getting away from shore and doing some touring and possibly
some skiing. Since I love diesel does this even sound like an option? Other
recommendations.

Obviously like 99% of the world cost is an issue and I will sacrifice speed
for cost, but it would be nice if whatever I install is upgradeable so that
I have the option to pull the motors and tweak them..

THANKS IN ADVANCE, Newbie
