I like the contrast of the black block/heads and the gray cover, looks really sharp. I am really glad that you were able to remove the traces of the name, I had spent hours trying to get it off with a fine polish and it did nothing, just never had the balls to wetsand it. You will probably need to find a Bravo1 24" prop for the new power, Looks great.
Mind you, I had the paint done in the mid-90's, so my design is a little dated for today.
Yeah, planning on it closer to spring time before she's goes back in. Figure that way I'll be able to see what I've got, and be able to do the break-in before it's even mounted in the bilge. Didn't go crazy on the build, but I'm expecting a bit more than the stock 330hp. Remember, we're on a budget here... Hoping to see closer to 400, but If I fall short, I'm not gonna be disappointed. I'm not trying to build a rocket.
Yeah, they would fit in perfect. I haven't shopped valve covers yet, what kind of coin am I getting into?

As I recall, they were around $275. But I'm not convinced that the KE covers are worth it (notice that Kustom Engines by Keith Eikert doesn't use them!)... The breathers seem to require the use of the little K&N style car breathers rather than the lines up to the carb... or as I refer to it, my "auto-fogging system".

auto fogging system?
Ive seen mine puffing out a little fog after a hard run.
I think my engine prefers smoking after sex. lol
Bouy, it's lookin good. I might have a nice flame arrestor if your interested.

Looks good - PM me what kind of $$ you're looking for.
How tall is that??
With the stock intake, and stock arrestor, I still had about 6" clearance to the hatch (Chris raised the hatch when he had the big motor in it - I'm assuming), so I should still have plenty of space.
I don't want to put a scoop on the hatch. I like the look of a scoop, but that's not the look I'm going for with this boat. I want to keep it a classic look.

With the same deck height motor and a dart intake with a 1" spacer the tallest arrestor that I could fit was 3". If your intake is 1" shorter than the dart single plane and you use no spacer the 5" might fit.. The stock 330 intake and arrestor are very very short. I have some good budget valve covers if you are interested and don't mind painting or powdercoating them, PM me. Chris
