Excuse my erection but any pics of the engine and compartment? Just curious if you could put a small blower in there.
These LSA jet decks are absolutely perfect. Right up my alley. Would be great for what we do here in oregon! Nice work!
Got any new boats for sale in your inventory?
Rob
SORRY ROB - all the builds are for customers. 23 decks are sold into summer - mostly jet builds.
Trying to stock a 26 cat or 277 deck this summer is my goal. 23 decks keep selling so i can’t stop production
Can what you reduced in height be applied to an LSA sterndrive?LOCO LOPEZ LSA JET is ready to rock. Red LSA boat is right behind this.
We took forever on this to get the LSA sitting nice and low. Had to use a new alternator bracket, relocate the oil cooler bracket deal. But was well worth it, now the pump loads good and she has very little bow rise. Big boat - Shhmedium Engine.

Have you done any more 23 LSA sterndrives?
PERFECT!!!
Sounds like a great build!
Keep us posted on the results!!
@n2otoofast4u dont you have one of these motors that needs a home?
This will be an interesting build. Is anyone going through the motor to set it up for marine use? The nice thing about blueprint is they stand behind their product and they seem to work great in cars, however I've yet to see one of their motors last long in a marine setting.
I was told they run the same tolerances for marine and cars, which tends to be a little tight in a boat. The cam is also a bit aggressive for wet exhaust. It may be worthwhile to have an engine builder go through prior to install
These are so sexy! Have you considered an insert to fill the gap on the swim steps when using jet drive?LOCO LOPEZ LSA JET is ready to rock. Red LSA boat is right behind this.

I like this idea. I'm not a fan of teak on modern boats though. Maybe a panel that is machined aluminum or something like that.Get rid of the inner rub rail around the exhausts and sides. Mount some nice stainless hardware that accepts a teak step that would slide in just below the exhaust and fill in that area.
Curious if one of these could be rigged as a v-drive and made to work right?
Thank you!Everything is a factor of time and money. Just not sure why - boat works great with jet, outdrive and outboard. V Drive would be tough inside center sponson as the deck is a liner top.
Any thoughts on a monster bbc with twin turbos? You know, the daily driver?
Very curious on how this 632 runs

Same here. I don't think I have seen it in a marine platform.

Blue Print is awesome to deal with. Kell there answers the phone, accurate shipping dates. Blows the big boys out of the water with correct lead times on engines.
They make a 496 - 540 - 632 Longblock for marine use with a warranty.
Its a long list but you need:
Headers
Oil System
Alternator - JET
Water Lines
Belts
Fly Wheel - PTO - Driveline
Fuel Pump and Lines
Correct Oil Pan- JET
and it will go.
This one is taking longer as we are going with an AIM Digital Dash with sensors, so its taking some time. Bro Deal budget so im doing my best.
