A friend of mine always says, YOU CANT PUT A PRICE ON A GOOD TIME...and a BBC is a good time! Good to have you back.

well said , but as most of us do , i have to make my bad decisions on my own , the smaller boat went to a good home , and hopefully the 28 is going to a good home , and the 25 with the BBF is right at home under me for now , still want a bigger boat tho , but this will have to do till the right 30 or 33 mate comes along

i'm gonna post a new thread with some pics later this week , show people a big block ford checkmate , and my newest project :evilb:

You can make some good power with a 460 ford. bump up the comp a little bit and go from there.

alot of people have told me that , only a few things holding me back , biggest is budget , ford stuff is more expensive and harder to find then chevy , also the king cobra drive on the back is good to about 500hp from what i have read but there still isnt a way with out fab work to put external steering on it , change over to a bravo and i have a heck of a time finding a BBF bell housing and coupler , either way its definatly a torque monster , and would probably be a good candidate for a small blower to get that 150 ponies till the drive kicks .....

Sounds like a cool new toy. Always liked Checkmates myself. Good luck with it! How fast is it?
