Bow rider is possible with mahogany interior features and maybe a modern "NuTeak" floor. I should be able to drag skiers and take guests out for a cruise in style with the rumble of a V8.Įpoxy sides with 2 part poly paint, mahogany transom parts with swim platform made of black locust or mahogany or teak (all in stock). In the end, it should be a modern (not done before) take on a family sport boat for the cottage. I can modify the topsides as far as deck and dash but, the weight distribution would definately have to be calculated.Ī modern 5.7L PCM motor installation is what I put into the last boat and it works superbly so, maybe that is my best shot for reliability. The last link on my post has a very interesting "flat sided" hull that looks fairly easy to build. My main goal on this forum is to get some idea where I can have plans drawn up that suit my needs. The Y block I have on hand as well as the old 327 and I am not convinced that they are the answer. Granted, I suspect you just happen to have these puppies on hand, but maybe a trade for something that doesn't spit out valve trains like melon seeds (Y block) or possibly a 4 bolt main to tolerate some serious HP and/or abuse. You don't even want my opinion on a Y block Ford, particularly in light of the Windsor and Cleveland availability. Most boats prefer a bore/stroke combination arranged for torque production, then quick throttle response and high RPM's. I'm not sure how important this will be in a boat, unless it's a drag machine.

The 3.25"/4" stroke/bore combination made it a sweet reving puppy, nearly as good as the 3"/4" 302. Lastly, a new or old 327? I love the old 327, with all of it's flaws, but I can think of a lot better bases to start with then nearly half a century old iron. The moment you start to foll around with the running surfaces and weight allocations, you'll want to have your efforts certified.
