Nice excecution on the install, but the idea is by no means "new"...Johnson/Evinrude made numerous V8 outboard motors back in the 80' and 90's, we use to call them "fridges"....

A guy down here on Long Island mated a 215 Buick V8 to a Johnson, it was impressive stock. I heard he turbo-ed it for the next season, never heard much after that. The Buick was perfect for the job being aluminum, I read somewhere along the line that some were able to get 300hp out of them on the street.

Good eye sir...:wink:

I picked that up for a friend of mine from Lake of the Ozarks a few years back.......there were a few posts about it then......it had three Merc Bridgeport motors at one point......we got it back here and put twin Evinrude V8's on her...........went like a scalded cat.......:eek: Somebody on here actually test ran this as the original set-up...:confused:


I was told the hull was partially Kevlar? TINY cockpit/seating area........:boggled:
