Yup, I've already got an open mind, just need an open checkbook.
I don't think these crates are bad engines at all. Same motor that Merc used for the 502 Mag. Derebery, and Cheif both use this same engine for their low horsepower (under 450hp) applications. Only difference is the accessories. The failure rate on a GM crate engine has always been significantly less than custom builders and for obvious reasons. Numerous members here and on other forums have used them. I've even heard of people running superchargers on them straight out of the box. Even read a few post by Dennis Moore on hotboat regarding how good of an engine this is for marine applications.

Froberg could convert it to a single engine. He has built a couple of single engine 28 apache's, but they had a much lighter hull.
