New Toy
Since it is pretty quiet on here I thought I would post some pics of my new project. Getting the Cobra painted will be put on hold for a while....
It is a Ski Wake boat hull with Easytow trailer. Much like building a cobra without the ADR hassles!
Currently looking for an LS1 to drop into it.

CORRECT...how about a 351 Cleveland alloy block (DART) stroked to 393 and run it on gas (make the cat fart in a bottle) It'll run like a top and drink like a nun. |

Yes, every boat needs an anchor for the mooring!  |

The budget is about $30K including everything.
We could go a lot cheaper by not using a gearbox and running an old school engine but I think it is worth going the Gen III engine for power and fuel efficiency.
Cheers,
Ben
