Any LS or LT1 boats on here ?
 

I know mastercraft made some LT1 boats with an Indmar motor but any forum member or friends ever rigged up a LT1 or LS engine to run with an Outdrive ?

I looked into an LT1 for my stinger project but soon found out that they have a reverse cooling system so it would need a different setup then the standard merc stuff you can find just about anywhere....the LS motors are getting popular and there's a number of people who have done them...

check out this thread:

Bor has done one. We have another member on here that put twin 5.3L LS engines in a 24 Skater. Unlimited JD (Jamie) is playing with a LS1/bravo setup in a cool little 16' Donzi, but to the best of my knowledge it's not in finished yet. :D

I'm sure there are many others that have done the conversion as well.

Wally thanks for that link !!!

How's the skater running with that setup ?

I am very strongly considering using an LT1 , the reverse cooling as got me a little nervous but besides that I can only see advantages for my situation. I am on a very limited budget but can fab alot of the more "special" parts I would be needing and would like to keep my boat light and if possible very fuel efficient.

You talking a '90's LT1 with an Optispark or the new C7 Vette LT1?

The 5.3 truck motors are everywhere and common if you don't have to have an aluminum block.

I'm putting a LS1 in a pontoon, if that counts with an Alpha drive

I was talking about the 90's motosr with the opti-junk....

Yeah, there are a couple out there. Depends on how wild you want to go.
