An amazing boat and certainly worth playing with. In my experience a fairly common opinion here, is to find another engine to drop in there and park the original one in the corner of the garage. It seems like Sick stringer has blower motors overflowing out of his pockets.

After my experiences of trying to adapt performance parts onto stock engines I’d find a blower motor that someone else has laying around and sell any parts not needed on it to fund the pro charger purchase.

Theres no benefit to keeping old boats original wrto engines or drives. These are not like classic corvettes or mopars.
