Reply With QuoteI would look for a chevy.
i just got a 19 ft kona jet boat and i am in need of a motor for it not in a huge hurry so i can wait for the right deal, the mechanic that works for my dads shop has a fresh rebuilt ford 352 motor with 390 crank and pistons. but he seems to think the engine would be heavier than the boat it self. (HE DOESNT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT BOATS). If you could give me some feedback that would be awesome, thanks Tyler.

I've always been a fan of underdogs. The majority of fast boats do have chevys. So when a Ford does spank a bowtie it is kinda cool because it is not as easy or cheap to make the same power dollar for dollar.

Yea, but I doubt any are 352's. Is that an old Y block or an FE?
um um yeah sure
Wanna race?
