Boat ran around 55mph but I had constant issues, popped a head gasket so pulled the motor out and then decided to go with a blower motor 496 stroker 8/71 blower made 850hp 800 tq on pump 91, then the classic while I’m here I’ll just do a few more things so built a full rail kit got rid of the velvet drive for a turbo 400 setting it up for hydraulic steering still working on that setup getting stainless skags rudder and strut moving the water pick ups to the cav plates and all new gauges. Once the steering is finalized everything will come out get powder coated then finally time to assemble for the last time.
