    Convincor LS Swap Project Thread

    She will run I wouldn't worry about that, bravo 1 should be just fine as long as you don't throw the torque at her coming out of the hole. Can't wait to see pictures of her coming together

    242 sport.

    I have moderate power running like 500hp right now and you can look at around 72-75mph with that at around 5300RPM with a 26 pitch 4 blade. I have never done a speed run taking stuff out of my boat or running low on gas and this is a GPS speed. I also havent taken my RPM limiter out of my MSD...

    Time for a motor ...

    http://www.michiganmotorz.com/vortec-marine-engine-1996current-p-68.html I had good luck with these guys if you want stock, the engines are done and ready to go, just put on your intake and mercruiser stuff. Not a bad price either. 1 yr warranty if I remember right

    Lake Cumberland Poker Run Format Change

    We felt like a dingy in Slingblades heavy ass Very Deep Vee 26' Enforcer last year so dont feel bad. Everyone just keep your head on a swivel and keep your lines, those tiny dots in the distance quickly turn into big loud boats screaming by you at 150 in just seconds.

    Lake Cumberland Poker Run Format Change

    I can believe that if you are not in the top 5% this format would be just as fun if not more for the participant.

    Lake Cumberland Poker Run Format Change

    The problem with that is if the big dogs roll out now, 95% of the boats wont be looking for them and will all be doing their own thing. Anyone ever seen a cruiser roll across the lake doing their own thing in front of 175mph boats? I have. Not pretty.
