im not playing with stock 454/415's. start going through big boy power and see what it costs.In my 572/750's i dropped a valve seat out of a head and hit 7 pistons at the end of last season. so i was able to save the crank, rods, luckily the block and 1 head... do the math.AND I did the top end of the other motor with all new valvetrain, and new balancers, and new water crossovers on both. and serviced the 5 gallons of drive oil in my speedmasters.
Had a BRAND NEW swim platform custom made to fit my transom. (not as much room as a bravo/trs boat)
when you start playing with big boy power and parts they cost a few bucks more than little 400hp stuff. I am fortunite enough to have a extremely talented engine builder. He is VERY reasonable with his prices. and i do ALL of my own rigging. so ask anyone on here thats been through it for what i did this winter i got off cheap @10k
carry on boys

Hahahahaha I'm the problem with America? OK. Daddy's money? Sure you can think that. I towed a few boats off uship to pay for trips to visit my gf. Far from "illegal business.. " I'm not getting wrapped up in a pissing contest with a bunch of middle aged guys. If you think I'm some illegal business doer comparable to selling drugs than you're ignorant. Ya I'm sure that Ben franklin was probably told there's no such thing as electricity. And that Steve jobs wouldn't make a computer.. Offshore exscursion... I didn't know you owned a boat shop and knew everything about building boats better yet what my margins are. I'm sure paying 3G for powder coating and 10g for a motor rebuild I wouldn't have any margin. Come see what my boat is before you run your mouth or make one more uninformed comment about me or my business ventures and ideas. YOU sir are the problem with current America. And yes, I don't normally say someone is wrong.. But in not sure your education or back round, but the definition of economic profit is creating wealth that was not there in the start. NO actually I do not need to pay myself for hours, anything bigger than my BOTTOM LINE. Is by definition economic profit. Have you ever started a business? Cause I'm pretty sure when you do so, from day one your not paying yourself a salary. We'll actually, you seem like quite the business mogul so maybe you did. So your telling me, should pay myself hourly wiry mowing lawns? And what my income I get every month is more than what I expense for the month.. REALLY ISNT profit?? Their must be magic happening or something because I've been supporting myself since 13 doing so.. so sir, why don't you not bother responding because I'm not sure google will give you an answer to what I just said. But I'm sure I'll get the "your cocky" and "your wrong" just take the liberal approach, Proove with facts and they just call you racist. Have a good day sir, I have better things to do than get in a pissing contest with a middle aged dude. Yes sure, call me any time! 315-247-3146 I'm sure when I post pictures they will be JPEG instead of PDF and there for not acceptable to you.
Your so called "Gas Monkey" version of a boat building shop is illegal
Your boat shop is NOT the same as what Steve Jobs accomplished..................You are just another hamburger stand trying to compete with Mc D's
You have not proved anything with facts
You are not making enough Profit/income/paying yourself/whatever you want to call it, there is not enough money to be made on this project to keep yourself in business.
