I got the boat from a guy who got serval estimates for over 30k to re power the boat. It's has no gimbal no out drives no nothing the boat was a theft recovery. Would it be too hard to go triples sbc. The only reason I want the sbc because the motors are complete marine engines (trading a street bike for the engines ). So if I can built one engine and find 3 bravo 1 ??????

first, no one wants small block in a boat this size
second, no one wants triple engines anymore, even if they are small blocks. so if you go twin small block, you get market value minus quite a lot on resale. if you go triple small blocks, you get market value minus.... Can't figure out... bare hull value is what you are gonna get back... |

Know a guy with one , gets 55 , orig alpha 1 gen 1 drives ,260 hp sb mags think the reduced drag of alphas offsetsalot of the missing 100 hp of 2 base 454s . Never going to be the holeshot king , but you can almost buy a spare alpha 1 g1 for the price of taking your girl out for dinner .but if you ever want to go big , ill bet whatever you paid for the hull and free motors , just doubled .

I would put a pair of 8.3L whipples on those 383's and 6 blade herrings. The alphas should hold up fine, just run that neo oil in them and a drive shower.

I say buy it put those motors in it and go boating & put a smile on your face. Figure out what you think you need/want for the next year and start stock piling your parts. Do it and report back, what the heck is it going to hurt?

You can't fit a midget in the bilge to winterize a bbc 353, no way you'd ever put triple sbc's in it without cutting up the cockpit. Sell your street bike, buy a pair of 454 mags and bravos.
