I think it's time to agree to disagree and move on.

Just try to save someone from a $$$$$$ mistake , I will keep doing so

You don't have to read it .

Now that I've been scolded, I'll go to my room.

No cause then you can play and no one will see you, go stand in the corner where we can watch you!

Thanks for all the great advice.....but i went with the stroked 496. I orderd crank , rods , pistons , cam for both engines..as well i also have two chrysler engines out of an "84" F32 i am rebuilding STOCK. so i can make everyone happy.lol

Keep you guys posted as thing move on

We agree to disagree.

Please keep us posted on you progress and results.

Also, if you do a search on this site you will find some performance graphs I did when I had the 454's in my 10 meter, prior to the diesel refit.

A comparison would be fascinating.

Best of luck with this project.

Interesting thread ... if you got money ... spend it!

"Fastest One Here" though? Now thats an interesting one ...

My 18 does does 67 (not a PWC either) ... previously had the same engine on a 20' pickle fork that ran 114 ...

My 26 does 54, and my Trojan F32 does 30.

next?

114?! holy s***! thats skippin'!

well my Carver does 28 knots (gps) with a full load (no comments Paul ) and a full bath tub to ! on 454's with 1400 hrs. on them. and I won't stand in the corner I don't want to

You weren't told to stand in the corner, not yet anyhow! Whats the BATH TUB full of? Cold Beer?

Sorry no beer on boat ! Hornsbee hard cider and crown by the gallon and of corse the national drink of Russia.

I really don't know anything about Hi Pro motors but will you have to change the shaft size or strut to handle the added HP and torque?

the transmission would take the brunt of the horsepower. BANG! ouch. BANG! ouch BANG! not again... and thats just docking! HAHA!!

If your doing it right most likely go up on shaft size and strut to match shaft there are calculators to check for needed shaft strength and size. .

I will say that Tonys tri tub will move a long pretty good , and it sure won't sit in the slip .

TRI TUB? What you trying to say there King Paul? Oh, I forgot Carver owner, wannabe TROJAN owner!! My mistake!

I'm not wantabe any thing. I'm happy with my boat and have what I want. What say you ?

my screen name has to do with Drag Racing...but i have been 7.70et @ 182mph but thats not impressive to you im sure... even if it was done with a 4 cyl. 2.0L 112 cubic inch more than 300HP per cyl. no nitrous. so what i am doing is by far not pushing the bar. but something that takes my mind off drag racing. it just to much fun zipping around the lake with the family

Yes I will do the oil burners on the next boat. As we get to this time in our travels the pay back is there. And the next boat will be bigger and the rule of anything over 36' should be a heating oil burner But that doesn't mean a Trojan another Carver say a 4207 or a 44 are on top of my list.
