Right now Im in the work hard so I can play hard phase. normally i work 3 twelve hour shifts a week, currently picking up shifts and for last week, this week and next week atleast, working 6-12's a week. So with doubling my income for a few weeks, I think I will be able to make my bouncing baby boat happy...... and make the time go by quicker untill its warm enough out to work on it. i am one to believe in the work ethic. If you want to play hard you have to work hard. The year I built my last race quad, I was an EMT making $9.00 an hour yet I made $39,000 that year. overtime... given a 2000 hour work year at $9.00 an hour base salary would be $18000... all equates to 1333 hours of overtime, one nice race bike and 1 world endurance record on said race bike....

Congrats. Sounds like you have a good plan. Work hard make some extra money. You can't make good deals happen. You must be ready for when one does come along. Hold out for a big block if that is what was in there.
Good luck.

Hey Rob,
I have some extra bbc stuff if you get a chance to dress out a bbc donor motor. Flywheel, coupler, balancers, oil pan, sea water pump, etc.
Because I was building two brand new bbcs, any mis-matched stuff came out. Can't remember everything.
If at any point you want to look through the leftovers, you are more than welcome to take what you may want.

04-04-2013 01:18 AMYou are not gonna be happy with a small block in that boat, I have one with a 489 inch Atlantic Motorsports Racing engine in it. Check your hull, probably a bit of a hook in it. The outboard will set the CG back, the boat seems to like that; another reason to stay with the heavy and more powerful big block for now - in my opinion.
Anyway, have fun; they are tough boats if built well, most were.

Why am I now picturing a battleship gray tri-cat...?
Buy a f-n bbc and run it for a yr.
I don't even like the egg beater idea, but I'll let it slide.

You should be able to find for another $500.
For one season it's a throw away.

Do you have everything you need except a long block? Or do you need everything?Getting bad advice is unfortunate, taking bad advice is a Serious matter!!
