Your so cool MAN THAT IS WICKED!!!

Ton of work! And all the hate from the "CHEBBIE" world for pulling the Chevy out and putting the Ford in....

"D" YOU ready to go fishing?

[bb429power]

What is the purpose of the bolts through the very top of each primary? And that is only mock up? Dang I thought you had it already built. Let the haters hate...

"Primary?" The tips of the Zoomies? There is a law against boats like mine! Old farts don't like loud boats on the lake, so those are for the mufflers that slip down inside....

I thought I'd be done with the engine also??
But things happen and shops drop the ball!

Looks good. All this time I thought you were building something with a pump. I've honestly never seen a boat with a C6 in it before...

[Nevs]

WOW boat

Shifting gears on the water like a bad ass

x2 I bet it will be cool to be in 2nd gear running one of them chevy boats and when they think to got something for you then you bump it into high gear and leave them like they sitting still

Is your prop shaft going to handle the tq you going to put to it all I have ever had is outboard engines the reason I ask

Very impressed Adam. That is very nice.

[LivermoreDave]

Adam, I don't know what business you're in, but you damn sure could make it in the boat business! Very nice.

The prop shaft in my boat is an 1 1/8", same size the top fuel boats run, crazy things are built "ford tuff"!

Dave.

Thanks for the nice words!

I've been around boats all my life, kind of a family passion passed on from generation to generation....

It's in my blood....

Nice boat! I bet that thing would rip your arms off if you tried to ski behind it.

Funny thing is.... This boat is built for "water ski racing". That's what I plan on doing with it..
100mph + on water! It's a crazy sport, but I love it!

What if you managed too put a T5 in a boat

[jasonf]

I have never seen a auto transmission in a boat before. Just the other day I was out in the bay with a friend that has a 25' boat and I was sitting there wondering why they don't put multiple gears in a boat. It will be interesting to see how it works out thats for sure.
