What's under your hatch ?

[Greg K]

Just a poll to see what's under your hatch and hanging off the back.

[Ranman]

Hmmm. Which should I pick since I have 300HP, 200-300 or 300-400? Methinks I'll err on the high side. :pimp:

[Lenny]

bugs, grease and grime actually.

[Ranman]

OK smartass, you just screwed up the stats ;) ;) :D :D


Did you lowball yours to even us out??? :wink: :wink:

What up you rusty bugger you to shy to post one of you Garwood engine shots????????????? Its a Druller!

[Eugene Nahemow]

I'm not telling! :rlol:
But, it's not listed up there.

[Craig]

Man, you can tell this is a site full of motor heads (there's a surprise) considering that a big chunk of these boats (guessing again) "PROBABLY" came with just around plus or minus 300hp (many older ones less).

[rustnrot]

MOP you mean this "Under the Hatch" pic? Ooops, from now on I understand there has to be a 7 second delay before showing what is under your hatch!

hmmmm my 401+ hp in front of a merc... ;)

now where are those 401+ volvos!!!!

[GEOO]

Well, Mine started out as a Volvo?
I guess that's the closest category.

[Kent Perroux]

I will refrain from listing mine since it is in the middle of an engine change. Still a smallblock.....but a few more cubes will put it in a different category..

Kent,
Nice engine combo. That should give her a little more boost!!! It's never ending is it? Half the fun is build and testing the boat's/engines.

Woodsy,
Don't feel left out. Put a big sterio back there and we can give you a sound track of WaLO's BB. :rolleyes:

That woody is just awesome!! There is few things prettier in the boating world than a nice old wooden boat.

I land in that "just shy of the next category" with 300 hp in a 350 Mag., which I used to think was a decent, but slightly tame motor... that is until I got into an 18' boat with a low freeboard and one in the bilge, a whole different school of thought now!

[Kent Perroux]

Thanks, but I think I'll stick with the 80 for now. Getting a little old to be running an 18' boat in the ocean at that speed; Like to watch my kids grow up

Yes Geo, think I have it the way I have always wanted it now. Not too much to take it out of the family ski boat catagory, but plenty to leave skid marks on the passenger seats when needed (drivers seat is not excluded).

Oh, did not mention it has a raised X Merc Bravo hanging off the back.

What do people think would be the perfect engine for a 22' Classic?

My thoughts are a 383 small block tweaked to produce about 400-450hp thru a Bravo drive with a Imco shortie. Good power and torque yet light and small.

Cheers

[BUIZILLA]

I ran into a guy last weekend, and we ran together all day..

get this.. new bone stock 6.2 small block, Bravo w/ a shorty on a newer 22, so-so prop

66+ on GPS, I clocked it, dead even with my 454 Criterion. If I had a choice, this is the ticket. Put a Whipple on a 6.2, it'll hit 80 on pump gas in a 22, mark my words on this.

Did you say 6.2 w/whipple :biggrin: Things that make you go hmmmmmmm.

[HoleShot]

I am running a 502 435 HO with a few extras think it is putting out 450+, 22 classic, I had a procharger on it last year with a 454 MAg but too much trouble, I had this combo up to 72 on my GPS last fall at 4600, I found a new prop this year and a new Barry Grant Carb, but the weather up in NY has not cooporated at all this year.

I like your thinking, my never ending long project is pointed that way. A 383, a Blachawk drive at standard X (I guess you could call it a B-3 shortie). It is built for torque Rootsy did a desk top dyno on it, it should make about 430 ft of tourque and about 375 HP. It has the internals to handle more HP, full Lunati Pro Mod 6" rod stroker kit and pistons, a Comp 510 lift roller cam, crane roller rockers, Dart heads, 750 Holley, Gil headers. Got more in the motor than in the boat and trailer. I am not shooting for top speed just a good cruise of 45 at 32-3500. I am hoping my experiment works out, if not I will find a winter place to try something else.

Jim what is the 6.2 rated at HP & torque wise, maybe I'll get into the upper 60's.

Just a word of caution to people who have not really built boat engines before and are just using PC dyno's to calculate HP. Once you start planning on more than 1 hp per CI you have to be very careful as to what the torque curve below 5K looks like. Think seriously about the rpm range where you do most of your boating, and the rpm's you will use to keep your drive intact. There is a reason why BIG engines and superchargers are popular for boats.

How about through a Volvo DP?

I am ready to install a 383 + 0.040 (385) with full roller valve train,
forged / balanced roatating assy, AFR heads, and GIL offshore wet
AFR has the package at 491 HP at 5500 @ 9.5:1cr

if it dont blow up i'll check off the "400+ volvo" option in the survey

[Craig S]

rust: That is really nice!!!

[Pismo]

Low and mid end torque seems to be the marine necessity that is often not discussed. Top hp alone means little in boating. You can build big hp but the boat may not plane off or not plane off well. You need that flat torque curve with solid numbers going far back as well as big hp for top end. That seems to come from the larger cube motors.

How do you like those Hi Tek manifolds ?
Have you had a chance to run them yet and were you able to do a before and after comparison ?
With limited testing to date (thanks to conditions beyond my control) I picked up about 100RPM on a 502 MAG but Allan claims better improvement on carb'ed engines I believe .

I have had them for 2 seasons. Over all I like them but I do have a couple issues. As for a comparison I am not sure. I rebuilt the motor the same time I got them with a few changes so it could be any of a number of things why I got more power but I am sure they helped. I had to go with HiTek because no other company made them for a Chrysler. After the season is over (a week or two) they have to go back for repairs. They (Hi Tek) has been great about it and will fix them as soon as I get them there.

[Morgan's Cloud]

Not to go off topic here , but what are the nature of the repairs ?

Pity Hi Tek is so far away though ....
