I have a 77 Super cruiser 20 footer. It has a BBF and a jacuzi pump. We really enjoy it and it runs pretty well. Not the fastest boat on the lake but does just fine for us. It needs to have the floor replaced this winter along with new carpet but it is 30 years old so it is expected. If you find one at a good price I say go for it.

Love my little 1967~ 16' 350 Chevy Berkeley Jet Not a fast boat, but reliable and fun.
With the problems Olds engines have at high rpm I would choose a Chevy or a For (cough)ord
Not that the Olds cant be built right for marine applications, just that it would cost more.
Welcome to the boards !

I own the same boat your talking about,[21ft v-hull Tahiti with a big block olds.] Good family ski boat goes about 45 mph @ 45 grand, very comfortable seating in the boat, nicer than ZO6 Vette! There is one on e-bay this morning.
