I finally found a mint condition Shockwave 36 fiberglass boat and ripped out all the Primitive Nitro Equip and installed Dual TFL P1 sterndrives. Even on 3s per side she she still runs 32mph! This boat weighs in a just under 8Lbs. it drive very scale smashes small chop easily. I had to plug all the holes and then start over with a clean transom. I did all the paint myself and was a pain in the butt, however I am happy with it. The boat now has a "WET" exhaust system since i plumbed all the cooling lines to dump out through the new pipes. I did also CNC machine the exhaust pipe outlet rings and transom plates for the drives to mount to giving them a little more set-back. I also made the driver figures on a 3D printer at work after I drew them up in SolidWorks. They may be a little crude but they look better than the stock "lexan" drivers!
