Anyone here interested in a 1990 OMC King Cobra engine or drive? It's the 460 Ford Big Block with King Cobra outdrive. Its got 350 hours on the setup.
Now that's legit ^^^

This 1990 22' has a cleat on the bow. Obviously not structural for lifting. There is no lifting eye, so maybe i'll remove the fuel...
So far, I have removed all but one piece of rubrail. I was wrong about an earlier post stating that the deck was bolted. Only the front rubrail was bolted, everything else was held on with screws. ...
Thanks for the pictures! A picture is worth a thousand words. I was thinking about doing this very same thing with 6x6s, looks like I'll save a few dollars going the 2x route for the deck lift.
I...
Got my garage cleared out this weekend and the boat is in with fans on it. I will start pulling the motor and drive soon. Question for you guys that have "been there done that"... would I save...
What do you mean by " filling the transom?" Just curious
Looks like Mousam lake??
Yes it's a KC. Keep it??
I'm prepping the garage to repair the transom. Hopefully I can "knock this out" before next spring. I guess it comes down to time and money. One question for all the guys that have been down to...
Thank you. So is the glass laid thick enough that I can cut out the wood from inside the bilge and not have to cut through the hull? I have one of those Rockwell tools. Would that do the trick? I'm...
Well.. Hate to say it, but I have a rotten transom... The other day a mounting screw made it's way out of the transom, causing the trim pump to lean. That's how I noticed it. So I got in there and...
80516805178051880519I am interested in selling my 460 ford big block with 350 hours. The engine is currently in my 22 classic. What's it worth to you?
How easy was this conversion? I guess there was a lot of wire cutting? And which model DUI did you go with, the racing one?
I tried sending a couple message but they don't appear in my "sent" box. oh well. A problem I'm running into online is the "obsolete" omc parts...
Thanks! that helps a lot! Now if I can figure out why it's stalling, i'll be in good shape. Happy 4th!
Went out today and the boat stalled after about 15 minutes. It's a 22 classic with the 460. Carb is pumping gas but I don't think there's spark. Obviously no ignition... So this engine doesn't have a...
Just took the boat out for a ride. I'm hitting low 60s at 4200 RPM. Really choppy conditions today but I got more out of the donzi than last time.
I drained old gas from my 1990 22' classic and put 20 gallons of fresh gas in it. Fuel gauge reads near empty. Is this common? How can I check my fuel level? Or do I need a new sender/sensor? Thanks.
Yeah I'm going to keep it stock for now. Maybe in a year or two put some heads on it to get a little more power out of it. For now we're just going to enjoy it. Honestly just coming home to it in the...
a couple of pictures so far
I honestly don't recall, It was only about a 5 minute run, and I didn't look at the tach at WOT. I still have yet to register the boat and the first run was to see if anything was wrong with the...
Ok, thanks, when I took it out I got up to fifty five mph WOT trimmed up, I guess that was max before porpoising. Any idea on a prop that would get a few mph without losing too much torque. I don't...
