Here's a pic of our 2001 mastercraft custom built with a vette motor... we like to slalom and tube.

 

here's my 29' Warlock I love this boat !

 

Bought another one the other night. I'm finishing up the build on a 351Windsor to put in it right now. 1979 Sea Ray 18' with built 351 and Mercruiser Alpha 1 outdrive.

 

holy crap, looks like your doing alot better for yer self

 

Yeah I'm doing a little better now. I only have $8300 in the truck and boat though.

 

wow, scored a deal.
i have about $300 in to my puddle jumper i'll see if can get some updated pic of her tomorrow. she's a work in progress now. i just relocated the seat back where it belongs beside the other. with a new bracket and swivel. some one re did the bow and mounted the seat up there so i looked like a small bass boat. i'm swapping it back in to a speed boat.
same hull design as this but mine is just under 14' with a 90hp
the one in the pic is 15-1/2 with a 100hp

any one know what that bracket is called that hold up the outboard like this?

 

I've heard it called a kickboard but not sure if that is the technical term for it. Yeah I got the truck for 8K and the boat for $300. Idiot bought a new boat at the end of last season and didnt bother winterizing this one worth a chit and messed the old motor up. I'm glad I held onto a few old Ford motors I've built.

Its a transom Jack!

has always thought the best boat is a friend with a boat

 

you know what they say, Good things come to those who wait.
i wish i could pick up a diesel for 8g. i paid 12g for my 02 3/4HD gasser but i came with a plow. there's not alot of diesels up here compare to other parts of the U.S.

Good score on the boat. it's a buyers market on boats now.
i have a 24' with a 98' 4.3GM alpha 1 gen II.
the motor went on me a couple years ago. i still haven't gotten around to putting a new motor in. but reciently i bought 2 200hp evinrudes for $400 off CL they where running takes offs from a repower. the owner left the engines at the boat shop and never came back for them. i was thinking of mounting one on that 24 footer.

i wounder whats better a transom jack or trim tabs?

 

I'm going to guess the transom jack. I know that all the big power bass boats run the transom jacks. Some old freinds I use to hang with had a Norris Craft that ran that setup and it worked great.
