    I have to agree with you Ted, I saw this one at a Donzi Dealership in Key Largo last Sunday.

    And the Lord said "LET THERE BE FEAR" and so was created a BIG BLOCK CHEVY. GOT BOOST!

    it is great looking but would be even nicer if it had a nice big block ford in there like the old shelby days


    either way though, i just blew my load

    I was thinking about the Ford thing too

    Maybe its just me, but I would think if you were going to do that boat right you would have a ford racing engine under the hood.. Lets face it the boat looks like an Eleanor Cobra. Why not complete the look under the hood. Hey it was not too long ago that the engines powering Donzis were made by Ford. my 2 cents

    Maybe because none of the major engine builders offer a Hi-Perf Ford marine engine. Just a guess.......

    Just curious..... wasn't there a board member in TX that had a VERY similiar boat that was stolen from his dealership when it was in for service.....? I'm not saying this is the boat but he had a silver 22 Shelby.....


    Never mind..... I just found his post.... It was a gray 22GT.... Not a Shelby. My bad...

    I would say that is a VERY good guess!

    Ford never made a good performance motor for boats, I remember when Wellcraft used them in the Novas 351 Windsor motors, The 427 Block was the Inteceptor that was used in big Cruisers and the biggest problem was the oil ports would always plug up.
    There are many differences in the 22 Shelby to a regular Classic thats why the price is about $7,000 higher.
