Some of you may remember my build thread from last year. Well, the boat did awesome all last year but the motor was real tired. I had or out for a few weeks this season and after a hard run across the lake I spun a bearing. Lucky for me I was already building a new motor. It started as an old motor from an rv and I reused block and crank but got new slugs and scat i beam rods. I got a set of 990's from my engine builder for an awesome deal. Im running a roller comp xtreme marine cam and an old torker 2 intake and quick fuel marine 750 carb. Fired her up this weekend and she sounds so sweet. The idle is very similar to a mercury 525. I wouldn't mind idling everywhere haha. Now to get her back in the water and start prop testing! I'm gonna start with a 4 blade 24 pitch and go from there.

The old motor was pretty and ran ok but oil pressure was a bit low.

Started the tear down last week.


On her way out.

New motor all buttoned up

Cool man, looks awesome!
