In the long run I think you'll be glad you passed. Getting on your hands and knees to get in the cabin is a ***** on these boats. I would try to find a nice 25 Outlaw, big difference in cockpit and cabin room. Much better imo.

Tore engine down and the block is cracked around the water passage and down into the lifter galley. Still trying to see if Randy will stand behind it since a new bowtie block is over 2K. plus machine work and swapping what is good over and replacing the bad. I know what you mean about chine jump. scared the crap out of me. External steering this winter after motor gets fixed.
00. a gm siamese 9.8 block which is a merc 502 and might be what you have will work to . if your going to stay under 1100hp that should be fine for 700 to 750hp and cheapest way to go just shop around your local dealerships I am sure they like to sell a block at a good price there not selling cars:evilb: |
Well I guess im screwed. If you buy from LCM water test,water test,water test and check oil evertime. I dont think they will stand behind this one. Said they would sell me a 525 for more than I payed for the boat. BEWARE
|
That sucks man. I guess the way things are going there you should be happy with a title to the boat.
|
you could sell the blower anduse that money for the block, run a nice cam/ brodix or dart intake , 1050 custom dom carb or a 850 will be 15 to 20 hp less, keep your rolling assb, and make 650 hp and 637tq. one of you posted the compresson was 9 1/2 which is high for a blower anyway but I run 9 1/2 in my 509 na and in my 572 blower motor its 8 1/4. I can give you info on my motor if you want.
|
Thats what I was thinking. Go NA since its more motor than the hull can take safely. I am going to keep the blower for a single engine cat or biger v hull in the future. Yeah send me the info on you motor. I know I have flat top JE pistons, Isky roller cam. Has some nice parts inside. Just aint sure on the GM rods! They do have big bolts.

That really sucks man. i am running a little over 500hp in mine and i like it. Do you think the previous owner knew about it?

Here is the info on the engine from the dealer.

Yes, it is. I know they don't sell junk, but it was a recent trade in and the salesman didn't know a lot about the boat.
