Repowering My 292
A couple years ago my father in law built some procharged 427 small blocks for a customer of his who installed them in a 98 sea ray bowrider of all things! He also purchased some imco extreme advantage drives and imco external steering. The motors have some pretty serious hardware. Dart blocks aluminum heads j&e pistons just to name a few goodies.
This gentleman has managed to scare the hell out of his family to the point where they won't even go in the boat with him. With everything he's in the whole package about 60k. So I bought the boat! I'm going to start swapping motors and drives here in the next couple of weeks. I've been working on this deal for about 5 months now. I can't wait! I have pictures of the motors and the boat but I took them with my blackberry and can't seem to upload them from my black berry desktop manager. I'll either figure it out or take some pictures with my regular camera. I'm thinking this will probably void the warranty on my motors and drives???? -Nick |

This should be an interesting swap, good luck, keep us posted.

The motors are fuel injected. In fact it's the kind you can adjust with a laptop. Pretty cool stuff once you get the hang of it. I'll get some pictures to you asap.

It's kind of funny this guy knew he was doing something that made no sense a couple years ago. He asked me if I'd like to buy the motors for 40k. I had just bought my Formula at that time. I now own the boat, the drives, and the motors for 45k! I plan to sell the sea barge for 45k when I'm done with the project. Hard to turn that deal down. Here's some pics of the barge.-Nick

Looks like one hell of a deal, I can't beleive all that hardware was wasted on a Sea Ray bowrider.It's going to be interesting to see how your 292 flies after this install!!

Getting close to the shake down run?
Nick, reading another thread on props it sounds like you will be ready to run in a couple weeks. I assume these puppies are already installed?:D As for what prop pitch to start with... What gear ratio and horsepower are we looking at?
