I saw my old buddy Taylor Brock last weekend and it looks like he is planning on burning some gas this year!

Don't need no stimulus package.....one good rock at Econfina could fix the economy!!

Think I saw the same boat out this weekend. Actually didn't run quite as fast as I would have thought... guess a bit heavy in the back end???

Sweet looking boat but I wouldn't want the fuel bill. Did your friend buy the boat while at the Miami Boat Show? A friend of mine here in Jacksonville went to the show and took several photos of this boat. I'm pretty sure the photo shown here was taken at the show as well.

Does Merc really make 5 different models of 350's?

They're all five the same model. If you're refering to the lower lettering it reads "Midnight Express"

Creech, I don't know him personally. Taylor and Clint Brock build custom boats and this is one of their "creations". This photo was taken in Savannah at the boat show where it was on display. I don't know if it was for sale though. Taylor has build some sweet boats in the past.

They are all Verados. Like Creech said, they just read Midnight Express, which is the brand name of the boat.

Went last year and have to say the Miami boat show is a hoot! Think each year they try to up the motor count average on all the boats by at least one additional motor.

Seems like it will become counterproductive, but honestly won't be surprised if they start mounting some on the sides next year

thanks for the clarification

A 300 Verado weighs 600+ lbs. I could not find a spec for the 350's. I wonder if those are just hulls of the motors becuase with 3,000+ lbs. on the back of that boat, I would think it would be tipping over off the stand. It's pretty cool looking though.

There is a big ass anchor on the front holding it down.

Dang, you wouldn't be able to hear the engines over the sucking noise coming from the gas tank.

Would it be possible for it to even float or is that just an advertising boat?

It'll float but I highly doubt it'd make it out of Ecky.
