packjh Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 (edited) heck yea, i like it. I like boats with big motors....its like when we stuck this big outboard on a 14 ft john boat... everybody in this town told us we were nuts and it wouldnt go anywhere cause the motor was to big. Well the gps we hit 30 going up stream. Not bad for a freebie motor. But sheared the drive shaft in it. Oh and i love how you snuck you truck in that lash boat pic edit...last 2 shots.

Grim_Smoker Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 ChevyMan - I remember your original post with the pics of that boat when you were asking if anyone knew anything about it. Glad to hear you jumped the gun and took it! That's a super sweet ride, and VERY nice powerplant! If only I could replace my 60 horse Evinrude on my 16' Bass Tracker with that beast!

CoolBlueSS Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 (edited) 550 lb.ft. of torque should be no problem with the big Olds. Sweet set up. Looks like you painted it Pontiac metalic blue. Edited January 12, 2007 by CoolBlueSS (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS_bnoon_SS Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Just looking at that boat made 70's disco music start playing in my head. "Burn baby burn, disco inferno, burn baby burn..." That color red metalic and the rear end syling just scream 70's to me... What size prop you going to try to run with that much grunt? B I G son of a gun I hope!

B I G son of a gun I hope! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Jus has an aluminum A impeller...setup for cruisin and skiing...the B impellers are pretty pricey and we wont be doin any racing........speaking of 70's, these boats came from the factory w/ shag marine carpet..the red metallic should be orange metallic..the previous owner messed w/ it....the original color was beautiful...close to GM's SOM on the T/A's...thanks for all the props guys..

kissfans03ss Posted January 13, 2007 Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 My buddy and i have a mutual friend who went to the int.boat show in new york lastyear bought a raffle ticket for 50 bucks and won a mid 80s race boat totally redone,and sponsorship for a year to race in fla. and if he does well there is an option for more sponsorship.The way i understand it if his boat is in fla. and he is here in conn.all he has to do is make a phone call and he is flown down by private helicopter.Nice huh all that for 50 bucks.
