Holly crap,
Looking awfully Bling Bling. With a honerable mention to the valve covers.

Daytona, this motor is pretty mild (notice the 140 gph Mallory fuel pump) I'm figuring 500 to 550 hp. Those are oval port heads and it has a hydraulic cam. I figure it should do 85 to 90 and be pretty turn key. It was built by Greg Hyatt of G&E Engineering, although this is the last motor I'll be getting out of him for awhile as he is concentrating on his dad's drag race Buick Regal. As far as cost it's been a year and a half in the works and I haven't added up the receipts yet and I probably won't, cuz then I'd have to tell my wife :eek: Morg the valve covers now match the floor :D Here's a detail shot of the fuel system Greg worked up for me

Hey Bitchen motor. Looks great looking to upgrade next year just getting a feel on who makes the most HP and is the most reasonable. Hope to see you on the lake sometime. :D

The pictures doesn't do it justice, this boat is beautiful. It looks much better in person, the attention to detail is outstanding. Everyone involved did a great job. Can't wait to see it in the water. Well done Sangerboy!

Jason, if your counting Eraser's boat ( I hope to have pics up of his new motor in 2-3 wks) that would be 3 flatties, add the ski boat for a total of four. I've had to recruit an additional driver to get them all out there :eek:

As Sangerboy mentioned my father, brother and I went by his place yesterday to take a look at his progress. Let me tell you this boat rivals any other boat I've seen, everyone envolved did an amazing job. Billy B is an artist and this boat is proof, the motor and all the plumbing is super sano, and Sangerboy, Eraser and Sangerboy's daughter have done an amazing job putting it together.
