I DON'T THINK THERE IS ENOUGH ROOM FOR TWIN BIG BLOCKS SIDE BY SIDE BUT SMALLBLOCKS NO PROBLEM.STAGGERED IS ALWAYS BETTER, IS THERE ENOUGH ROOM TO STAGGER 2 SMALLBLOCKS WITHOUT MOVING THE BACK SEAT NOW THAT WOULD BE THE HOT TICKET.

ZZ, twin staggered 450HP sbc would make quite a race-boat...
I don't know about you, but I would rather keep one engine running than two.
Seatow is a cheap second.
Been there done that, and I know you have too...

With this boat I would think a single would be fine. Seatow is a good second! Take that money and put that into engine work and build a monster!

I was thinking the same thing, every year guys are doing a lot of talking then warm weather hits and they decide to order a boat and dont understand why they can't get it befor July. I ordered my boat June 1 and got it Oct 10, for the same reasons, dragging my feet.

Any idea on the cost to install the twin small blocks over a single HP500/bravo xr with the y2k?
Are they just a small block with bravo's?

Never Mind, I got the costs!

But what about all the guages??? where do you put them all?
If I were to go with twins, maybe two Smartcraft monitors?


I want this damn boat!
I am going to have to start ho'ing myself out to save up money quicker.

Talked to John today again... inching ever closer!

Got some questions answered:

The passenger grab rail is standard. The interior, (if ordered without) is gelcoated white, with benches and vee-berth complete. No cushions.

Controls are Merc Zero-Effort.
