It will be hard to find but try looking for a wellcraft nova ST some were made with twin bbc and they are 26' long :D

I'd buy a new boat, doesn't surprise me you've gone thru a lot of money running a cruiser that kind of single BBC engine.

If your looking for suggestions get yourself a go-fast instead of a cruiser. If you want a crossover consider a newer Formula Crossover. Other alternatives would be a Formula SS, Intrepid, Cruisers Sport Series 279 Sport Cuddy, Cobalt, etc.

Yup. I agree.

We have one in the family with small blocks. Sometimes I have to have some teenagers help me when repairing some things. Can't imagine big blocks.

THat said, there was a member here and Speedjoke that had 454's and then went all out and got aluminum heads and small supperchargers. Maybe even 502-s - can't remember that part. Think he was from PA or MD...some where around there. Boat was fast.

Yes, I think that's what started my confusion. It was late and I had a very physical day. In my condition it makes you very tired and dumb. :)

Appreciate the comments, this boat is hard enough to work on now. To get to anything on the starboard side many times requires exhaust man removal. Would like to remove the Gen but wife wants it to stay just in case. I probably won't do anything, but still think about it. Think I'm going to redesign the helm this winter

Don't want a new boat, not worth the coin and also no way I want any motor with CAT's
