Aftermarket cowl that looks stock, but very lightweight, not an alien. The lower cowling had a little mishap in the truck on the way home from Miami, that is why it is not installed yet, fixing it up tonight. The exhaust is not fully open, but Shaun did some work in there with the tuner and such, it is just slightly throatier than stock. Gonna try to run it next weekend if I get some parts I am waiting for, but still in break in for a few weekends.

So this boat has my #, or rather my bank accts #
![Lolhit](/forums/images/smilies/more/lolhit.gif)
I tried to sell the current power in it complete, but its not looking like theres much of a market for it.
Soooooo.
Ive got next week off. Ill be pulling the 454 for a freshen. I plan to bolt on some big aluminum heads, a 8:71 blower, custom cam.
I wanted to run a big ci na motor, but this will work too I guess ?
This time around ill have a bit more time for details in the bilge. powdercoat, & maybe even some shiny things !!! Any suggestions for powdercoat colors ?
My goal is 750+ hp
*also, building this thing has left me out of the water this yr & salty about it.
Ive decided im buying a second boat because as you can see this boats not all that practical to begin with. I want something I can overnight on & just chill & drink.
Would a sailboat be too gay ?????
What about if I drill out the exhaust on the 10 hp???
Would that give me a pass ???!!!! Lol

Motor (454) getting pulled this week.
I've acquired a bowtie 510 ci, dart alum heads, very clean with low hrs. Was making 600+ ez
I wanted to smack a 10 71 on top, but I guess that'll cause some opa drama.....
So cam, work the heads, bigger carb etc......
It WILL NOT go in the boat until it dynos at least low to mid 700 s.
Should help pass them winter blues.....
