It's an inboard Indmar 350, fuel injected at 320hp.

if I'm gonna mess with an FE in a boat, it will be twin 427s stroked to 454s in a 30 plus foot cigarette boat.

night 3 with beer...... 4 nights in a row if you count that schanpps the other night. I think I'm developing a problem...

but I have made soe progress on the truck today...

THAT is a Damm nice boat! I bet she scoots toooo....LOL. Reminds me of the old mastercraft I had with 351 powered inboard. Straight up go fast ski boat. Very nice and best of luck with it! I always liked the inboards better then the I/O drives. The right prop will get you a few more knots also! How fast will it go?

well, it's a full fledged wakeboard boat. It's not designed to go so much fast as it is designed to pull a wakeboarder at a very consistent 17-22mph and make a friggin' humongous wake. the wake is apparently big enough that you can surf on it at about 12mph with no ski rope :-) It will probably run about 44mph on the top end. A prop change could probably get mid 50s, but that's not really what the hull is designed for.
