But it's a very fast moving hole

Come on Pat... pictures with no details?

WTF Over!

I see its inboard/out board.... what kind of motor, and how big? Is it a 21' boat?

Bowrides are fun too... Make sure you have enough life jackets on board, and still have enough room for the cooler

Brand new mercruiser chevy longblock with vortec heads
bigger aftermarket cam
Mallory marine (Holley) fully programbable multipoint fuel injection setup (brand new)

Engine only has 5 hours on it, clocked the boat at 75mph and wasn't even at WOT

Damn... sounds nice! Just make sure the transom was reinforced to handle the extra HP.... A pretty importnat detail that is sometimes overlooked....

Sounds like you need racing helmets in addition to life vests!

It's built right. It's a Baja 19 footer .. .and if you know about boats, Baja's are go fast boats.

The guy I got it from "claims" 350hp, I'm guesing more around 300 though. I think with the right prop (and driver, not me) it's probably capable of around 85mph.

I think the ECU probably needs some more fine tuning, I'll know more once I get it out on the water.

Good deal! I saw a rhd beetle drive down the road the other day, later than the oval window but no idea what year it was.

He is down in Bama. Just needs a chevy silverado with a gun rack and a confederate flag and he's set. Well maybe an orange kia w/ the flag on it would be a "show stopper" LOL.

I only have one boat now and yes I have shotguns too

Don't worry I haven't fully converted to redneck guys. I've been fixing/working the bugs out of my new boat since Monday. Took it out yesterday and was slapped in the face with all kinds of issues. Busted my ass last night working on it and took it out today for a straight hour with zero problems. You gotta love buying someone elses almost finished project.
I'm pretty satisfied with it now though. It's fast, loud, and like stepping straight back into the 80's

LOS · « **Reply #37 on:** October 22, 2009, 07:15:18 PM »

So you are sayin you are turning into Sonny Crocket w/ the 80's boat?

Nice boat! Where in alabama are you at? I'm in Montgomery at the moment

Jesus · « **Reply #39 on:** October 27, 2009, 07:11:25 PM »

I'm in Huntsville.

Update on the boat. Looks like my outdrive input shaft seal is leaking. Basically I'm gonna have to pull the whole drive off the boat to fix it. Super news.

I'm planning to take it out one more time this coming weekend and then tear it apart and start pouring money into it

I told you... boats are nothing more than holes in the water into which you pour money.

you're right Scott.. difference is on the water I can run wide open as long as I want and it's not illlegal

Depends where you are. I've known people that have received "excessive speed" tickets on Pueblo reservoir. Of coarse, in the open ocean anything's game.

Open ocean? he's in fuckin alabama. Aint no fuckin ocean. LOL

He's a hell of a lot closer than we are.
