No update. I am working with a guy in my region that I trust. The engines and drives were pulled and I cleaned the bilge again before it was put into winter storage. My deadline for new power is April 30. Hopefully sooner.
You had asked about blowers on another thread. I am not doing blowers. No offense to them. I would rather drop in bbcs that are stout enough to accept blowers later if I am that hp starved. I know that these boats need tons of hp to go... but for my first summer learning that hull and dialing in all new rigging I would be more comfortable with NA power. I expect to stay within the 500 hp per side limit that I feel is appropriate for bravos in this app.
Plus... my intent for the boat is much more as a wave crusher than a race boat. I should be able to keep up with an average poker run.

Sorry to here about both motors being no good John, I wish I would have removed them myself and let you know what the full damage was, but I dont think that would have changed your mind on buying the boat!!!!!, TEX (Andy) will have a good solution for you on what to do next, just wait and he will let you know what the best way to go!!!

The new power has been designed and the parts are coming. Blocks are here. Rotating assys are on the way. Waiting on heads and cams. But they will be worth the wait. In a couple weeks I will be able to get the boat from storage and bring it home to paint the bilge, while a buddy does the new power assembly at his shop. Hopefully we will stay on our April 30 deadline for the power being finished. I wanted him to be able to start the builds earlier, but I ended up going a direction with cam and heads that took a little longer. It will be worth it.
I am getting pretty anxious to get at it.
