We had a 26' Italian Corsair with a Big Block and single Arneson back in the mid to late 80's out at the marina I worked at. Nice boat, handled great at speed, but docking her in the river was an adventure... Don't know what it had issues, but I'm sure a fair amount in hull, drive, and prop set up has changed in the 20 + years since then.

I don't remember " The Pressure's On " being at St. Clair last year but I do remember another boat called Rumblephish with a blower motor being there but have never seen it run. It was purple.

Tell Jess great job!

I had a 540/600 Ford in my boat. Ran great but the IMCO exhaust had to have adapters to work. CMI has Ford headers now.

TwoKs,

IMCO is testing a single engine twin drive setup now, either with their SC or SCX drive.

I didn't know Rik had one, I like it.

Wow who built that boat? Awesome motor, is it gas or diesel, I can't tell which. The motor must be forward of the cockpit? Does the scoop limit vision? Those straps are gonna be cut in half when towing, they need something soft underneath them.

Has it been splashed yet? What speed?
