No BS to anyone. the engine runs strong. To dismay I'm having electric issues (staying cranked over). As you will see there are many new parts for the engine, or can be installed on another. The HULL is the selling point here.  If this was another maker I would adjust accordingly to what their racing heritage or lack thereof would fit. I do feel this hull especially is worth it. The engine and parts come with it. Do with as wanted, it does have that great 454 torque. IT IS A 1993 PLACECRAFT TUNNEL HULL (ALL ORIGINAL) AND IS THE FASTEST PRODUCTION TUNNEL HULL TO DATE (FIBERGLASS COMPOSITE OUTER SHELL WITH HARDWOOD RESINED INNER SHELL AND STINGERS).
