Hey Guys,
That is one awesome machine!!!
I'm sure with the extra weight and stability of twins, she is one hell of a rough water boat. I would think she is a lot better around the docks too. Like to know if she's as fast as a single with a 500 or 525??? I would guess faster out of the hole, but not top end...
Hey Bash,
I think at this stage of the game, I would rather a single engine boat. I had a 28ss Cigarette with twin small-blocks; it ate my lunch with all the fuel and maintenance. My 24' Super costs a lot less than 1/2, maybe 1/3, to run and maintain. Of course that boat was a 1978. Also, after seeing the Zuperboat next to the Y2K's at SuperFountainVello Fest, I have to say that I like the old deck lines better. Sorry Jcap, Super30, and...; the Tempest is a classic... :cool:
As for engine break in: What is that??? Any engine I have ever built, I have started hammering as soon as they are up to temp. ZZ is right, I use 30 weight for the 5-10 hours, then 20-50 Syn.

That is fine looking! Sitting on a real nice Y2K deck, ready to install! :)

Re: Twin Smallblocks Superboat 30y2k!
 

Yup Krak, thats your deck. It's just keeping the hatch out of harms way.
John wants to put 5 3" round white intake vents in the front of the scoops.

Hey FX10
Maybe(or maybe not) you can set some of the SB "bashers"(not me) straight over on this S&F thread.
