If you are used to a Chevy block and then have a 351 Windsor, it will feel like 300 horses even though it's rated at 250hp. You are just feeling...
You're in Canada. What's the water temp there? Do you have to wear a dry suit? Most of the water here is in the low 70's throughout the summer....
If you're running the 351 you should have tons of torque like you're saying. I was in a 92' Mastercraft with a 351. It had so much more power...
55mph for an 87'??? Do you have a 400 hp inboard or a barefoot boat? When I purchased my 19.5ft closed bow 98' Mastercraft new it would hit...
Malibu as in the ski boat? If so, it's a mid engine. Here in the states a Chevy 350 crate motor is about $3500 and easy to work on. You...

To Cold Eh, Sorry got off track. I have a mid engine like I stated earlier. Overall I'm very happy with the performance of the boat. I wish...
I have been asked this before. Wakeboarding should be done very close to shore. As close as possible. This only creates one wake for other...
Were you thinking of doing a mid engine or Vdrive. All the Vdrives are deeper V boats. The mid engines/stern drives are flatter bottom. I...
I plan on taking my time. I'm gonna treat it like a home remodel. Time is no issue. This could take a year or two just to find the boat....
Thanks for the reply, I'm fully aware of boat slip costs out here. I've got a friend with a 40ft Chris Craft and he will keep me on track....
