andy you know what i would do too

shove some big a$$ blower motors and some 6's on that b!tch and lets go have some fun. if it breaks we will deal with it then!!

I fixed your idea.

with what i've seen 500hp will get you around mid seventies...

Sweet, I'm pumped.

Andy, i'm thinking you better have an open mind and checkbook while owning this boat.

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.

well hes going to have to keep the bilge pump on cause hes going to have hole is one side of the transom with that set up... lol

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.

Single BBC now that's the ticket !

WHY!?!
