I have thought of it for my 28 fountain,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Yeah the ls engine is a great piece!! Wave of the future. I looked at 30 Skater with a pair of LS7's last year on one of the Ft. Myers fun runs. Very nice. I didn't know Ilmor was doing an LS package. I'm doing one with a single plane manifold throttle body on top, port fuel injection on a mefi 4 controller. Just gettin started on it.

Easy 650 power at around a liveable 6000-6500 rpm. 550 power around 5200. Closed cooling for long life. I'm working on a project with an LS7 427 in a smaller boat. Half the weight of a big block.

Twin 5.7 = 640 hp and the weight would be 2024 lbs.

Griff, Remedy, Pat...... would that work????

Sorry, only single IO or twin OBs. It's not a CG thing. It's simply a business decision.

In that case, put a new 1350 in it! Just kidding (not). Whats more reliable than a HP500 with a whipple, and an xr drive

Thanks for this thread Pat, this is the kind of stuff that gets us frozen northerners thru the winter. Pictures would be a plus;)

I was wondering why we have not seen any images. I know there is an artist rendering out there. Let's see it! :grinser010:

Hey Pat, isn't your daughter's name Lexi? why not just name it after her, Active Thunder 29 Lxi. that would be my vote. Someone said to name it after the boss, then it would be the 29 Dianne. I think I need to come over tomorrow to check it out.

So whats up with this? Pulled it out yet?

Hi Pat and all....Long time since I've posted, but I still check in and read from time to time.
It's nice to see a new model coming out, especially in a size of AT I'm kinda familiar with.....;)
I'd love to see an artist's rendering as well, and I think including your daughter's name in the boat model name would be a great idea. There were some good ideas thrown out so far-

" 29 Interceptor Lxi" has a nice ring to it.
