Looks great!!!

i think that maybe TREADS old boat?

VERY nice 292 indeed sir!!

Thanks! New 500 HP heads, inconel valves, roller rockers, Comp cams, exhaust (can't remember what, have to check papers), new 850 Holleys, new fuel pumps, alternators, starters and batteries. Outdrives redone last year and Imroned. What else? For those of you who know the boat, maybe you can chime in. Oh, and a complete paper trail from day 1 including all receipts!!

That's really sweet!!

By the way...what do you tow it with?

As of right now...nothing! I sold my truck a few years back after I sold my last big boat. Don't think my Grand Cherokee would pull it, even with the Hemi.

Great looking good luck

I just picked up an 89 292 as well... What are you running for engines? Are they 420's? I've got 330's in mine and am able to get 63 out of it with a set of Hydro Quad IV 24 pitch props. I just recieved a set of 454 mags that I want to modifiy a bit to get me into the 70+ MPH range. Either way nice looking boat.

That is not treads' old boat. That boat got a complete interior job and now it has all white vinyl.
I think it is for sale though.

The motors are the 365 Mags/Bravo 1s but have been completely overhauled as you see in an earlier post. HP is supposed to be around 425 although I have no dyno reports. I'm running 25 Mirages and have been thinking about the Hydro IVs after reading some of your posts on here. I wish I could find some locally so I could try them out for a day! Anyone?

I would go with the Quad IV's again in a heartbeat! With stock 330's I'm getting 63 MPH (GPS) at 4400 rpms, thats 7 percent slip. Midrange is around 43 mph at 3400 rpms. Its taken a bit of time to learn how to drive with them because they need so little trim until your around 54+ mph. With Mirage props I always trimmed right away.

As to your engines, do you know what cams were put in them? I'm in the process of doing something similar with a pair of 365's that I just picked up and I would like to get the 425 hp mark.

Put a set of Weiand 177 on them. Change the fuel pump add full roller rockers, run them at 5 psi and I would guess your at 425-440 PSHP.
Then if you want more later, upgrade the exhaust, valves, add a crane #139011 cam and get up around 500PSHP.....
Then add Alum. heads, add intercoolers, more boost 575PSHP?????

Not interested in going the blower route, a simple cam change with better exhaust and I'm at 425. Blowers are a big pain in the a$$ plus they use more fuel than the same HP N/A engine. My last engine in my 242 was putting out 525 hp out of a little 439. It cost some bucks but it was problem free and ran great.

smart man

motors have comp cams camshafts in them flat tappet also hp 500 heads boat was my friends he has the cam cards also

I do have the cam cards at my lake house. I'll get you the info next week.

Thanks

nice boat. Looks a-1 shape.
