Okay:
1. small block 350 not the best thing for the V-drive.....If it is not too late go for the Big Block Power.
2. If you find a Hondo Hull you may get the 2 front seats but finding one with a bench back seat is going be another story. Most V-drives don't have it....Jets have back seats..with a few exceptions of course.

Where in the hell are you gonna use a V-drive on the island?!?;) Isn't the Sooke kinda small?:D My Bro lives in Cobble Hill, I love the island! Way better than that POS on the mainland.
Oh yeah, try the V-drive forum, way more info than you need over there!

i live in port alberni we have 2 pretty big lakes like one is 27miles long and another one is way bigger but its not just long it has 5 big fingers comin off so its good for boating...so what would u guys suggest for the hull...we want a back seat in it and how bad would the 350 be for a v-drive...would u suggest going for something else besides a v-drive
