If this works here are a few pics, poor quallity. But you will get the idea. 454 is modified and is said to run mid 70's with 22p prop.

Good looking boat mid seventies sounds way off with a 22 prop good luck on the deal :thumb:
 
Sorry. Meant to type low 70's with the SS 22p prop. Like i said the motor is been built up past stock so it runs out really nice. Has adjustable rev limiter on it.
 
I could be mistaken (but that doesnt happen very often). I think I have seen that boat either on Craigslist, or Ebay in the past. If it is the same one, it looked VERY nice and VERY well taken care of.
 
i did see that one too, on CL. i actually emailed the guy a little. sounded like the motor was very fresh and not a stock 454. should be an awesome boat if its as nice as the photos.
the only thing i worried about is that he said it was repainted. im a stickler for all gel and no paint, thats just me!

great looking boat and keep us posted on how she runs!!
 
The motor is not a stock 454. Aluminum intake,demon marine carb, msd ignition and control box, adjustable rev limiter, bigger cam and higher compression pistons, will still run on 93 octane.. The motor had a supercharger on it but the guy took it off and sold then had the motor rebuilt. It still has the plumbing for a drive shower for the outdrive. The boat looks WAY better in person than in the pics. It is a true turn key boat, as soon as you turn the key it rumbles to life in an instant.
