Here is a pic from a few months ago when we just installed the motor....take note to the floor in front of the crank pully. The gas tank was removed and shorten 5" and the fire wall was cut and moved foward to be able to install the blower... In the stock app the wall was only 1" away from the crank pully
I have everything plumbed with the motor in at this point and I will post some pics of that when I get a chance....

that firewall is a bulkhead did you glass and box it in so it still goes across but shaped like a 3 sided box if not you should do that and make a metal brace up higher going across since the motor sits on a angle, otherwise you could have flex issues. its going to be fast boat.
I know that this particular hull isnt that fast but with my last set-up I had 550+ hp, running the stock Bravo 1 and a 28p prop turning 6,200(drunk) on gps I was 72....Now in the mid 8's and I have a Bravo X drive, land & sea stern jack, w/a 33 Bravo prop.... Does anyone have any ideas on the speed b/c I dont

im interested to see how the windscreen comes out, its pretty close to what i am trying to do. i have a 89 sport 250 that is the exact hull that you have. do you by any chance still have the back seat assembly? i bought mine missing the entire interior and windshield. nice to see someone besides me building the same boat, yours is a bit more hard core then mine (for now). post some pics of the windscreen if you can

It's amazing how projects like this never seem to get done in the intended time . I'm in the middle of one myself but finally over the hump, pushing hard to at least be in by Memorial Day. Won't have the cabin done, but at least if its running, I can finish that over the course of the summer and I'll be happy.

I just ran all of my wires for my stereo, speakers, and amps. I installed my 2 12" subs lastnight and cut in and mounted my led Nav lights and replaced some of the Teflon skids on my trailer....Its funny how I dont have a single friend right now, but I bet they come out of the wood works as soon as im done...
