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.

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.

like ss sad,

I have this one build for my 21 phantom and gonna build a clone of it to put in my new cat on bravo its xr drives
I love it really strong engine if build right when I start the build in 2009 it was hard to find marine parts but know there pretty much parts available to just bolt on .
