[waterloged]

glad you put a picture of Hondo up there, I have one too just like it

[Bluefin]

Come on guys, lets hear from some of you in need of a new boat.

VERY NICE! Which FE block does it have?

[Bluefin]

The Block is a 390 ci +.030 w/ a 428 crank, that's how I come up w/ the 417 ci. My motor builder specalizes in FE motors and built it for the application. Some stock motors from Ford came with this motor combo...FE410 was in some Mercurys. Find me a buyer and there is a Finders Fee in it for you. Mike

i wanna see a pic of the howard thats replacing that hondo.... must be pretty nice !!

[Bluefin]

OK guys, I'm bringing back my post from last fall. I still need to find a new home for my 70 Hondo. It's not a Blown T-Deck with a paint job that cost 2 months salary but it is ready to go. Someone has to have a buddy who wants to own their own V-drive. I have all the paper work on the motor and it only hit the water 2 times last year. $250.00 to the guy who finds me a buyer. Thanks - MikeC@iwestco.com

Six thou for a turn-key v-drive is not a bad deal.
Just a matter of personal taste; if it were a 385 series (429-460), I'd be all over it!
How 'bout you, 058? Know anybody?

Hey Blown, I wish you'd put up your old avatar...you know the one where that hottie is leanin' on some sort of car.:D

[RaysonKid]

This coming from a guy that doesn't even have an avatar...;)

[waterloged]

Raysonkid are you throwing rocks at 058 ? :confused: ;)

[waterloged]

Sorry Bluefin, I know the thread is about your boat. Where are you at? sounds like a great deal. Have you ever GPS it?

Waterloged, I live in Boise Id. and run it at Lucky Peak reservoir. Ya, I have had it up to 78.5 mph on GPS. It has 15% gears with a 2 blade 11 3/8 X 15 prop. The math says it will do a little faster, low 80s. WIth a little Nitrous, and another 1000 rpm maybe 90. My motor guy is reputable and I have every receipt, I spent a lot of time going through the boat the winter of 2000. Just ask my X. I just don't need to own 2 boats. Thanks

People are always chasing me down,
Trying to push my face to the ground,
Where all they really want to do,
Is suck out my mother f*cking brains
That's beautiful, Blown; you write it?
