31copelandcat

Picked up a treasure of a race boat. Im currently working on fixing the glass/interior. 31' flightcat. Looking to repower to double or triple outboards. Trying to avoid costly big blocks. Im just a lonely construction worker from pittsburgh. Not a boat guru. So any help would be great. Also trying to figure out the weight and how much horsepower i would need for the boat to be efficient and push the bow thru the water plowing. By my guess boat is around 8-9k lbs. Help please!
