It will be 2012. I got to busy to complete it in 2011.
All the motors are complete and ran on the dyno I just need the time to bolt in the last two motors. Thanks

Ken, just came across this. Nice work, everything is coming out great. Looking forward to seeing future updates!

I remember this thread from when you started. That is going to be one sweet rig. What did the motors dyno at?

Just over 700HP @ 5200 and 740LBS of TQ. The ZF trans I'm using is a 1.567 ratio thats 1150 FT LBS at the prop X 3 so
3450 FT LBS pushing the 50. She should move:) Thanks

Amazing project, can't wait to see the final rig. Congrats.

I can't wait to see the final rooster!

Awesome project! Thanks for sharing with us.

Great project. Thanks for sharing

beast mode....

motors look good, I like the manifolds...and the drives happen to be my favorite.. looks good, weather is getting better for testing... Jeff

Where did you get the intake setup? I have been looking for something like that. It looks similar to the Edelbrock ProFlo XT, which has shown some good numbers on the dyno verses a single plane throttle body setup.

Intake manifold
 

The intakes are made by Accel and are two piece. I machined a top plate so mine looks a little more custom.
This intake is used by many companies like Potter performance on there 777 and innovation marine. They are available in oval or Rec ports and are very inexpensive. You can find these for about 600.00 or less if you shop it. I had sent mine to Wilson Intakes to have spacers welded and ported for tall deck motors.

Photos sent. Thanks

That bilge looks great :drink:

WoW, looks amazing!! where is this beast goin to be used at? lake erie?

Looks awesome!!

Excuse my inexperience, but what are the advantages of these style drives? Less drivetrain power loss, less drag, stronger, less draft, prop closer to the water surface, etc. I've seen them before, but wasn't sure what the advantages were.

Also, the thru hulls pointing down. Are they some type of muffler, or puts the exhaust under water while idling?

Again, sorry for my lack of knowledge. It all looks awesome!! Just would like to understand it all.

Thanks!!

WOW! Beautiful. Cant wait to hear speed and video. Whens she gettin wet???

Yes to all of the above .


Looks great Ken !!!!!!!!!!!!

Holy crap! Wouldnt want to have to change the plugs in that bad boy, would be easier to just pull the engines out!

Looks Great!

Looks great ken let us know how the water test goes!

Beautiful........effin.............. Beautiful

Thanks everyone. I will be running the Chesapeake bay. Yes this setup was a tight fit. The turn down tips will act as a mufler by directing the sound down and under water at idle.
Its Rooster time:)

Congrats Ken, she looks beautiful!

Can't wait to hear how she runs. Love this boat. Artie

Ken
What length are the turn downs? Are they Gibson's?
Thanks

`
 

Must be $15-20k in exhaust alone. :eekdrop:

I wish:) The turn downs are about 14" and are CMI.
They will make them any length you need.
Ken

The whole setup looks awesome. What is the turning radius on this beast going to be? Doesn't look like there is much stroke on the rams. How far can Arnesons pivot?
