Hey guys I am redoing Second Choice Hull #3. I have started cutting out the soft spots on the foredeck from underneath and am getting ready to recore it. I was thinking of using nidacore anyone ever use it?

I will also be closing in the transome and going with a i/o. I was thinking about one of these engines matched w/ a bravo 1 what do you think.

Dressed 355 c.i. GM Marine
Horsepower: 395 Torque: 415

Dressed 383 c.i. GM Marine
Horsepower: 400 Torque: 435

What do you think i will see for speed with the 2 packages

I will start posting pics soon

I will also be making this boat a sitdown sort of like the Pantera army boat.

go Big Block, or at least with the stroker.

What is the weight dif. of a big block vs small block

enough to get the nose up

hey OLDSCHOOLFAN Second choice is that boat red? cuz if it is got some cool pics of my grandfather racing that boat!

Yes thats the same boat it was painted black but I am hoping to repaint it. I may have talked to you before.

150 lbs or so.
Go with a stoker SB or BB you need lots of torque to push a 24' boat.

I agree. The stroker would probably be a nice setup, or the big block.

Anybody have the new Raylar engine? Sounds good, I would like to hear something from anyone who has one.

What will it take to push a solid 75 with that boat?
