John, engines are coming along fine. I've got AFR cnc ported 357 heads with a JimV chamber port job which unshrouded the valves and gave it even more flow. They are completed now except for paint and external bolt-ons. I will be dynoing in about a week or so. You're welcome to come over to Dave Wessledyke's shop in Hudsonville and watch the dyno show if you desire. I will give you a call.

Anyway, quit wasting time and put that thing back together the way it was designed---tripples! (look who's calling the kettle black! )

Contemplating This Myself I Stayed With The Triples....one Of A Kind And I Would Never Buy A Converted Boat.

Slingshot,

You are, or did contemplate this?

Sorry your post was a little unclear.

Also why wouldn't you ever buy a converted boat providing it's
done properly?

There's plenty out there..............Both in drive changes, to
different configurations, etc. etc. ????

Thanks
Cougarman

John, fyi, I saw your old 31' Sonic sitting out at Wolffie's shop today while I was in down in the area.

How About Kickin A Couple Of Yanmars Over The Side. You Could Get The Inlie Sixs With Just About 1ooo Ft Lbs Of Tourqe, Or Marine Power Power Stroke Marine Diesels, There About 950. Either Way The 6's Will Handle It And You Save Weight . The Fuel Economy,pppppppppttttttttth And The All Day Cruise.60or So For The Yanmars And 50 For The Marine Power. Either Way You Coul Dash Board The Thing All Day

Kaama,

He had Bruce go through them engines this summer.
I beleive they are 465's now and there is prochargers that
have been added since I had it aswell. Anyway's He just
reinstalled the engines and dropped it off for Bruce
to dial it in on the water.

I would think the old girl should run out pretty good.

Monsta,

Have you run diesels, or is this an outside opinion of yours.

Thanks for the info, How is your 42' comming?
I haven't seen you post any info on it in a long time.

If the triple engine boats are hard to keep because of high test gasoline prices, maintenance, insurance.
And they are hard to sell because of high test gasoline prices, maintenance, insurance.
Then perhaps a high quality conversion to the staggered setup is the way to go.
