Phragle's official winter upgrade thread..

phragle said:
Been a little while since we had an update... Since the boat liked that prop, but didnt have enough motor to pull it all the way thru..

The next logical idea would not be to get a smaller pitch prop, but rather, build a bigger motor.

So finally finishing up the 625sc...... except now I might need a bigger prop.

fresh 454 mag bottom end, JE blower pistons, 731 cam, walmart roller lifters, Big Al ported alum heads with big inconel valves, Bill Mitchel Dominator etc......

Thats about the size of it.. it started as a little project to bump up a mag motor a little,, Nothing insane so I could use stock fuel oil, ignition stuff etc....

So now that I am buying 12 qt oil pans, hv pump, big lines aftermaket coolers and filter setups, high volume fuel system, modifying tank pickups, new distrib, coil, boxe etc.... I am now getting to the point Im thinking I may need a rack of spare drives in my garage....

I should however, achieve my 70 mph goal easily enough....
 
yep, X raised 2 inches, with the cam, Im supposed to be ok with standard stainless marines, but I have a set of dry to the tip tails if needed. I want to use wet if possible...Im one of those people that think if your really loud, you should also be really fast.

Like my buddy always says , " It's only money". Be thankful you can spend it on a boat.
 
Had a customer yesterday mention how much a boat payment sucks. I laughed , even when the boat is paid for you'll always be spending.

I'm looking forward to the day I only spend on fuel and insurance. Not there yet. One more engine to do. In progress now.

You are gonna have lots of fun. I never heard anyone say they had too much power.

If your worried about blowing drives add a drive guardian coupler to your list. They are pricey but much cheaper then a drive.
