1963 Stevens Flat Bottom V-Drive

[SuperG]

I have a 17' Stevens flat V-Drive with a Big Block Ford EFI(427, 428, 429?) B&M Ratchet Shifter, C-6 Transmission, 2 blade Prop, Rewarder Wet Headers, etc. What's it worth and is anyone interested in buying or trading it for something more family oriented? Please contact me if interested.

Post some pictures of it. Have you looked at the prices of anything comparable?

[RaysonKid]

Did he say B&M ratchet shifter???
:rolleyes:
Also what motor? If its a 427 sideoiler? Its worth more then the whole boat...

Those Stevens boats are some of the best flat bottoms ever built....... :D

I have a 63 Stevens with a 401 Buick that has been in my family since day 1. I wouldn't let it go for less than 10k. If yours has a 427 side oiler then it is at least worth 6-7k if in good shape. http://www.***boat.com/image_center/data/524/453redrock21-med.bmp

(Having trouble uploading a picture to the web.)
I live in Seal Beach, California next to Long Beach. It's in Orange County.
It is supposed to be a 427 EFI Ford. It looks to be re-powered in 1968. If so, that may be consistent with a W block 427. (Is that right?) Otherwise it may be a 428 or 429. I have not torn it down to see. The run time on the gage is about 44 hours. The motor runs hard but now has been stored for a few years. I am willing to sell or trade it.

A 427 or 428 will have the same look from the outside. They are considered the FE style engines. A 429 is in the same family as the 460. I think they were called a 385 series engine.

[waterloged]

Yes you are right, the 429 is in the 385 family.

[GofastRacer]

Also, the only difference between a 429 and a 460 is the stroke!.. :)

I have a link the to the 63 Stevens picture for those that wanted to see it. I had trouble with the picture link last week. Feel free to write me with any questions.
