Not familiar with that boat but unless it is going to be a true classic and
worth money as an original boat I would go w/ the 6.0L EFI. From a usability, fuel economy, ease of operation, performance, be happy when your boating point of view there is no doubt in my mind. -- Tony my boats and cars at http://t.thomas.home.mchsi.com "Douglas St. Clair" wrote in message ... OK, so here's the dilemma. I yanked out the 68 Ford 427 from my 70 Century Resorter last fall. It's now at the rebuild show - and I just heard the bad news... cracked block (freeze). I'm debating... find another block (probably a 428 cause those damn cobra-heads have driven up the cost of a 427), or repower with something modern. I talked to Vince @ Discount Inboard Marine, and I'm tempted by the Pleasurecraft 6.0L EFI 375 HP, Aluminum Heads, Fresh Water Cooled for around $8200. Is it a sin to put a modern powerplant in (somewhat) of a classic boat? I can't decide. I'd appreciate your opinion on the matter. Thanks |
