Does anyone know what the biggest engine package Black Thunder has ever put in one of their 46's is? Have they done any with 1075's & 6's, or bigger? Whatever the biggest is that someone posts, how did it run? |

Boat is easily the ugliest BT ever built. The boat is a turd and IF National can find a buyer who likes it, then he won't be able to find another buyer to sell it to years later....... The bow rail, the swept back windshield......it is all bad then the 496's are the final blow into letting you know this isn't the boat to own! |
Twin or trip Yanmar 480s and Arneson #8s would have been the best powertrain imo.

That had to be the most power ever. I think somebody is building one now with some big power. And Jason, that 71 had be down stream on the Mississippi right? |

Why the engine swap? |
The interior do stand out,if it had a paint job the same color:drink:
|
I mean that boat is......... actually. offensive

I am doing 1200's with #6's boat goes to paint in a few weeks
|
Looks top heavy in my opinion.
