Trade my 1965 Stevens flatbottom jet for a complete Ford 385 (429-460) or FE (390-427-428) blower setup. Stevens has a fresh .060 over 390, edel streetmaster single plane, new interior, Rodmaster wheels on single axle trailer. Blower setup should be 8-71 including intake manifold, snout, pulleys, tensioner, carbs.
Boat is worth more than a blower setup, but it's time to make a little room and a few more horses.

Thanks. The really surprising thing about this boat is how well it handles. Before it hit the water, I thought it would beat the hell out of me and turn slow. Well, it does turn slow unless you use your right foot, but it actually handles wakes better than the Advantage! I used it more this summer than the Advantage... just a fun cruiser, not a race boat.
If someone has a blower setup for a 385, the intended victim is also in the photo. If it's a FE setup, the Mustang will be getting a new hood with a hole in it.:D

This boat is a LOT more fun than staring at that unused blower!
