Boats ripped apart flipped over and a new center toon has been made with "steps" in it.

I also took a little different direction with the motor, have two BW 62 sitting on a shelf waiting some fab work on them.

Turbo toon is going to sound oh so sweet.

Goal is two have it done come spring.

Thought I would update since it almost spring and the boat is starting to come together, well atleast the motor is.

This is what I have so far

Gen III 5.3l steel block
"built" bottom end Cant remember everything that has been done as it was over a yr that I built that.
LS9 Cam
GM Blue Springs
Heads have been cleaned up valves gone thru.

Intake is a custom piece with built in water/air intercooler
Twin Turbonetics Super 62's

This is all going in a 25' Pontoon :) :).

Should be 550hp at 8psi.

If I can cruise at 3,000rpm at 30 I will be happy. Top end should be mid 60's if I had to guess based on other toon's.

Stability shouldnt be an issue with the flat bottom and lifting strakes. At that speeds they almost act like a cat, they just dont pack air like a cat.

I have been in a 25ft with a 400r mecury outboard on the back that would run 58mph and it felt like 30 very smooth. The only thing they dont do well is big waves

I'd like to see the photos of your build for this. I am thinking about doing the same thing. When I go to the Photobucket site it doesn't show any of the photos you put there. I realize this post was several years ago now, but I was hoping the photos would still be available.
