I almost bought one of those (5.7L MPI+Bravo I) instead of the 454/Bravo III.

A little newer but a lot more money.....


We need more info. Whats the MAX WOT RPM for that engine (I suspect 5000) and whats the drive ratio?

Can't suggest a prop without knowing the Drive ratio.....
Yea i figured as much .I told him to take it off and take it to a local prop shop. He keeps it in storage so i guess he will find out what he has or atleast show me this weekend when he brings the prop home. Thanks

OK Liberator guys help me out here. I have a Nieghbor that bought a 211 last year after a couple of different issues he had a 300 horse 5.7 put in it Still has the alpha on it . Question is what prop would be a good start with? i'm not sure what he has on it ,but its chewed up and he is looking for a replacement.
He's more than welcome to try the 23P 3 blade that I have here..........but, if it comes back looking like his.....$$$$ :D

Let me know bro!!

I'm assuming it is a good bit smaller prop than that, but we will see. I figured it would be a standard set up.
Either way the offer stands....... I know it is prob. a little too big, but if you remember, I could spin it to the moon with the stock motor!! Lot different hulls though!!
 
I put the charger on my batteries and was surprised to see that they held their charge all winter! Didn't fire the engines though. I spent all weekend finishing the swim platform and pulling the stripes off the hull. What a pain in the A$$! I am having a hard time getting the glue off. I am going to try to finishing getting the glue off b4 it goes in for the tune-up. Can anyone recommend where to go to buy new stripes?

Check these guys out. They can do just about anything. They have done a few of my buddys race cars and they turned out awesome. They are located in Ceder Springs.

I tried starting her up this evening for the first time this year quickly found out both batteries are junk :angry1: .
Your stereo install looks great. Get ahold of Daves Battery over on Clyde Park around 36th street. Tell him Jim at Andersen & Associates sent you. I'm sure he will give you a good deal on a few batteries.
 
Thanks Jim. My dad and i own a car lot in allendale and so i get wholesale discounts w/out taxes :D . I checked with my parts supplier I can get group 27 dual purpose cranking and deepcell for 89.99

the stereo install went great, but I need to fine tune the amps and deck for better sound
