Thread: Okay, for you tech motor heads

    (I used to be a motor head, but now I am a CPA, so I do not know shit....)
    I have this 1993 model Profile, I like it, twin 7.4 carb motors, having paint added now, it will be a plenty nice boat soon enough. Boat came with 330 motors.
    My CPA firm wirks mostly with automotive guys, I have one that can build anything, repair anything, do anything, but I need to tell him what to do (I save him about $20K/year in taxes, he pays me good, I consider him a friend, as well as a hell of a mechanic, and he works on a select number of very high end boats, mine will be one more).
    I want a weekend runner, something I can compfortably get in and run for a week solid, while making good power.
    Tell me what to do, I know race cars and race car motors (have built several) but not boat motors.....
    Thanks...

    Theres a few things that you will need to figure out,what your budget will be,what HP you want,and naturally aspirated or forced induction?Those are the things to start off with.

    Fast and reliable, all the power, and all the reliability, I want to balance it all.
    If I want to spend three days running an easy run to Nashville, I want to be able to..........
    If I want to spend 1.5days running an hard run to Nashville, I want to be able to..........

    Well, he wants it all so let's not go cheap on him.
    What ever happened with that guy Imco rat focked who had to post the story here to get warrantee on a basically brand new drive because they told him it was his fault it broke before they even saw it?

    Your choice are really endless but to narrow it down.Maybe two 540-580in motors,naturally aspirated with EFI.That way you can setup some motor protection and still have good power from the big cubes and not have to worry about blower issues or extra water lines and such.You can have the efi setup monitor some knock sensors and also for bad gas issues.Turn key reliable,and good HP.I would go all out on a good oil pan and oiling system though.Thats a must have to me.Spend the most you can afford on good valve terrain and oiling system.it wont be cheap but still cheaper than a blower or turbo system bay far.
