Bruce, thats some good stuff! I had no idea that there was a company out there already making conversion kits.

any reason why you couldnt use the oil cooled turbo?

The Cummins that I have in mind is the 6 cylinder, non intercooled, turbo charged. You know the ones that came in the late 80's, early 90's Dodge trucks. U basically need 12 volt to the starter and it runs...no computer. Okay guys, I need all the experts to chime in and tell me why this will or will...

The difference is that my F250 isn't towing a 6000 pound trailer up hill 100% of the time......

Mike...600hp out of a 7.3 Ford??? Whatcha got done to that thing? Those are some really, really big numbers for a 7.3.

I'm talking about a B31. Yes, I agree that the big block isn't stressed as much as the small block when trying to get big hp numbers. But, I don't think 330hp is asking for that much out of a 350 small block, IMHO.

Good stuff there SIM. After reading that, it look like one of the better options if diesels are out of your price range. I don't see an issue with longevity out of a 350. There's not a small block out there that's more proven than a Chevy 350.

Yes the torque is what counts...small block or big block, it's all about the low and midrange. But, it's not hard to build a 350/300hp. You also save a lil bit on the weight. Anybody running small blocks that can post some fuel numbers? Whats the best fuel numbers you guys are seeing with your big b...

What can somebody expect the numbers to look like between the 454's vs 350's? I'm talking about cruise, WOT, and fuel. I know there are several variables, I'm just looking to gather as much info as I can. So far, it sounds like the 454's are going to be .8 or .9mpg and the 350's are gonna be around ...

Looks like he got his looks from his momma! :P

Just kidding and congrats!!!!!!!!

Please! Please! Please!

no inspection in Florida yet.

Thanks, Scott I got your pm and will give your friend a call today...good advice. Jeremy, If you changed the exhaust with one of those stainless 4" units that do away with the catalytic converter, will that solve the problem with the 6.7? Thanks Yes, or some guys are just cutting the DPF out and re...

I have an 05 5.9 and I love it. The new 6.7 is the same block as the 5.9, but it has a 6 speed tranny behind it and a factory exhaust break. It also has this new emissions crap (diesel particulate filter) that been giving them some real issues. I think its just a check engine light and poor fuel mil...

Yes, thats the same boat, still has the same name. It's a really sweet ride. I noticed how flat the bottom was while it was on the boat lift earlier today. Probably not real fast with a single on a 32fter, but its gotta be stable.

He said it was an 1988? Were they making Palm Beach back in 88? I can't find anything older than 5-6 yrs. Just trying to see how this boat stacks up to the 31 Berts and who better ask then you guys.

Looks like an L&H built in West Palm, could be a Gamefish built in Stuart, Fl. Both boats are modified V bottoms, great sailfish raisers. Need better pictures to really identify it. He did say, he picked it up in St. Augustine. So maybe it was built on the east coast. They had to cut the tower off ...

Can anybody tell me what the make and model is of this boat? I spoke with the owner and I believe he said its a 1988 Palm Beach 32ft., but I can't find any info on it. What are your thought's on the hull design...wet, dry, fast, slow, stable???? http://www2.snapfish.com/slideshow/AlbumID=1183985024/...

A single carb root style blower would probably build you the best power in the low rpms. Turbos and centrifigal style blowers/superchargers are gonna need the higher rpms like scott said. Either way, it's gonna be a gas hog. If you want more power in the lower rpms, have you considered swapping cams?

Jeremy- Where are you located? I was staying in Bay Point and saw a 31 "Gear Jammer" I believe? -Andy I live on Grand Lagoon, just down from Bay Point. Your putting some hours on her to be stationed in Alabama. My 25 is right in my back yard, sittin on the lift and I'm lucky if I get to run it once...

You guys familiar with this boat? U probably are but its my first time seeing it. Whatcha think about it? It looks just like a Bertram 31.

Andy,

It's good to hear from somebody else in PC. I think she's definately proved herself now...thats one heck of a trip! Good luck in the tournament!
