Wow, some really choice parts on there man.

 

hahah cool!

she sounds healthy.....

 

Dude that is awsome. What's the HP estimate? It sounds good

 

Very nice...

 

Ain't nothing (well maybe a offy) sounds as sweet as a hotrodded flatty. BTW this months R&C has a feature on vintage hydros and such. Please keep us updated with lots of pics. I'm quite jealous.

Thanks for the pics. looks like a very interesting project. As a kid I was always intrigued by those little K(?) cl*** hydro kits/plans in the back of Pop. Mech. magazine and have had a soft spot for the race boats ever since.

 

I like the motor but fast boats scare the beejeezus outa me !!!

 

I was never a "boat" guy but this looks like fun. The motor rocks.

 

that is by far the coolest boat project I have seen, great sounding flatty.

 

Man, that motor sound excellent!

 

What do you know, a genuine old timey water borne hot rod with a small block flattie no less. Definitely looks like some fun on the water is in store for this guy. Best of luck with the project. Another cl***ic rod saved from the crusher, ( fire place in this case). This little puppy is awesome.
CHEERS !!! ZIMM

 

Looks cool, sounds good too!

 

You'r gonna have fun with that! Nothin better than gettin your wood wet!

 

Sweet, sound really nice at idle.

LET'S SEE THE BOAT!!!!
