We have a Mastercraft X-10, great wakeboard boat. The wake is fat as hell. Next time any of you are in Austin, we can head out for a couple of runs.

 

Ya the v8 does sound pretty ******* nasty with those small short headers hehe. It does 85 now, we had it doing 110 with the big block but it was too much weight. Were going to build a racing 20B with a nitrous system hehe.

 

Awww...poor Geoff. I feel for ya, mang.

 

I have a boat, in a million pieces, ok, not a million, but you

get the idea.

19' Century with a Chrysler 413, inboard, 390hp,490 ftlbs of tq.

I had the heads ported and polished and flowed so I think it should

have a bit more power now. The engine is 'new', boat originally came

with the 413 or a 426 wedge, I got a 413 out of the same year Chrysler

car that had not been on the road in over 15 years. Didnt even need

to be bored over to rebuild it.



Now if I could find 2 solid weeks to paint the boat and put it all back

together, had all the original hardware chromed, engine is sitting on a

engine stand waiting to go in. Here is a pic, im not sure

what color im going to paint it yet though, either black or yellow, this is a ski boat, notice the "ski view" mirror...Sigh...........

 

You need a set of Cross-Ram Intake MAnifolds for that

 

It was a option on that boat, I have the original service manual.

You would think I would get off my *** and work on my own boat,

but at the end of the day the last thing I want sometimes is to look

at another boat. I think I need to get it done now though, I was thinking

about it today and now this thread came up, its fate I tell you!



Besides it a good investment, not like Im going to lose money doing

the boat, I can triple my money if I go to sell it.

 

Damn nice! Is that a mahogany hull?

 

Haven't been much for boating.. well, not alot of time for it.. but it looks like fun.

 

.

 

glass hull, mahogony decks, I was going to do mahogony but

then I wouldnt want anyone stepping on them and I would end

up not using the boat and being a nervous wreck. I was going

to do the clear epoxy West System with Imron clear.



Now Im going to fiberglass the decks and paint them, I can always

go mahagony at a later time. I bought nice 1" mahogony planks

and plywood, cost me over $650 in wood, but oh well, it will

look nice fiberglassed and painted.
