im not sure if i would go with the libetator 20,i like you am not rich so for your money u can get a better boat.a few oso members have better,faster hull,s that can be bought cheeper.one is a trovar that the owner is building a bad azz 496 for.he is not rich so he went with a cast crank because the forged unit cost to much and is not needed.if i remember correctly it had a rotted transom but he is repairing it.the engine should be done in the early part of 2016 and it no doubt will be a bad azz boat.the other project boat is also owned by a fella who is not rich but he did remove the origional 6 cyl engine and replaced with a bad azz 350 he built that runs strong to 7500 rpm and is really fast due to the bigger lower unit.all this just prooves that all them rich guys with the cigar boats dont know shiit about making boats fast.i am not rich so i will be in the market for a late70s or early 80s bayliner with a 6 cyl engine in it,im going to have this engine builder from texas do his MAGIC to it .see you on the water!

What type drive do you think you might run? gear Ratio? with that set up may I suggest a High Rake, reverse double cupped two blade aluminum super sonic twister model version 4.1 prop! let me know if I can help you get it through customs.

I think if you put a 3rd axle under the trailer, over inflate all 6 tires, (Rt side more than pass side to offset heavy driver) and strap it real good to the boat, you'd be able to use the 4 banger out of your Pinto and go faster! Those tires will give LIFT. Could also strap a piece of particle board ( MARINE plywood is way over rated) to the bottom of the trailer for more lift......more speed. That's how them Skeeters and MTEYES can go so fast! When its smooth water of course. If you go to flea markets, keep an eye out for one of fancy electric trailer tounge jacks. With a switch at the helm, help with bow lift!

You gonna have ole shooter himself build ya a motor? He told me i can run a 258/272 @ .050 cam, with a 106LSA, with my stock manifolds in my little 454 here. I'd go for it, but just not in the budget. Im gonna stick with my 194/203 STUMP PULLER cam. did you hear that MIKE TKACHY I SAID STUMP PULLER

I would recommend dragging the whole hull behind the truck without the trailer to sand down those factory hooks in the bottom. Those aren't needed, and will result in at least a 15 mph gain.

That's old technology all that fast guys are making their own props out of plastic. I like to drive around the hood and pick up old weed eaters I use the string heads to make my props. Totally custom you don't need to spend thousands to go fast it's free.
