Being I'm from the WEST COAST, and out there we race circle boats.. THis boat was used for "Water ski racing", so I will be doing that again.. Hope to get the sport going back here!!!

You are going to have to put one of those Davies traction control boxes on that thing, it is going to be hard to get it to hook up. Shocked

It was an idea. Due to the fact First gear has been removed from the C-6....

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!

Who the hell would be crazy enough to ski behind that thing ? Hitting the water a 100mph plus would probably hurt a little bit.

I have some relatives that like to ski around 60 mph. One day he was pulling my dad and he whipped out and broke his ear drum. They kept all skiing that fast but not my dad.

All I can say is "hot damn that is one sweet boat!" Congrats man.

billandlori June 25th 2011, 9:39 am

That thing is gonna break some Chevy hearts!! Any dyno numbers on that beast?

Do you do the 100mph skiing or drive? If your skiing, that would explain the hard core leg work outs you do!!

Off the top of my head...

Heads are 100cc for got the pistons. BUt compression ratio came out perfect 8.5 to 1.
I'm running 14mm pullies 12-71 hampton
top pulley is 25
bottom pulley is 27
means around 10lbs boost.
