Awesome is the 5.0 the engine displacement or does it represent the whipple ? I love that he is deeply involved in the evolution of his boats, doesnt feel the need to follow the crowd with whatever is trendy. Not just another rich dude buying a toy then losing interest. #jealous. Lol

Wasn't this block from Allstar in Powerboat Magazine ? Back then I thought it had more cubic inches, we are talking at least 10 years ago..someone on here must remember that..

I don't mean in any way to sound disrespectful in anything i say next so please don't take it as such. that being said, i literally worry about the guys i idolize in the boating world and these insane power plants in their PLEASURE boats. I found out about Jeff Asbells crash (RIP) about a half hour after it happened, i saw there was a video of it on line and i couldn't even bring myself to watch it, even though i never met the guy. I just related to him in that this guy was living my dream life, driving my dream boat (actually a 388 but close enough). After that 388 hit 197 at LOTO this year i was praying they wouldn't go back out again for fear of what might happen. maybe i sound like kind of a ***** but for those of you that own these big power cats, i love seeing the big hp numbers, love seeing the big mph's, LOVE seeing a Skater at the front of the pack but Bill, Bill Jr., Chris, Don, Johnny, all you guys in that crazy awesome no fear crowd, do what u do, but know even us complete strangers want you guys to come home at the end of the day safe and sound.
