I run a 15ft 11in with a big inch engine on a drive. A 14-15 RiverMaster with poly and a gear drive 383 would do you fine if your not putting yourself in bad situations. Most DD Cadillac boats in the same range will work as will A/C or car engine. It’s really about respecting the limits of...

So Pemberton used to be off US41 in Floral City, Florida. They are no longer in business having sold out to a fellow named Wayne back a few years ago. Since then I think they are closed up. They didn’t make hulls but would assemble boats form components much like Airboat Pros did. They were...

It’s not uncommon to put a SBC and gear drive on a 14 or 15 ft hull in the south. I have pulled up to the public ramp and had folks gather around shaking their heads, whispering. “That is gonna roll right o er and sink” or “what were they thinking” Yep !!!!!! That said we are SWAMPLIFE...

I wonder if you could just strip all the EFI and ECM off and replace with a stand alone Holley EFI and HyperSpark ignition ? Maybe look into that as a option

Interesting Get that part number and share it could help folks down the road with a similar problem.

I built a boat recently and powered it with a Smedding Performance build. Jacob is the GM and he was easy to work with. Mine is a Dart Block with everything forged and Nitrous / airboat purpose built. They dyno and ship to the door. I did old school with carb and single wire ignition. My...

Well if your prior engine made you happy and served your needs this one will be a bit of an upgrade in power. If someone was after getting the most performance 20K can buy, there are better options. That said if a moderate, reliable platform fills your need then roll with it.

Is that the old BlackWater boat ?

Not even close $

Over the years the Levitator threads are either love or hate. What gear are you running and have you gotten a price and availability ?

After seeing Chucks system and learning about it I “gift” my buddys running PaceMaker the PC285 sensor.

If you don’t want to take it off you can measure it and look at specifications on the web site. That may ID it. Keep in mind some of the older models you may need to dig a little deeper to find their data.

If you have a pet or little children keep them away ! Tastes sweet and puts kidneys into renal fail.

Marty Bray makes a fiberglass gauge holder that’s similar

Last time I spoke to the owner it was not found

Worse yet for the Ford boys is there are countless cam and lifter failures with the new “Godzilla” engine. Seems around 35k for some reason they start making metal as in the cam lobes and lifter wheels start failing.

Find some shallow water say 8-10 inches deep and stand on the throttle. I bet it will plane.

John I have parked a roller Caddy powered RiverMaster on a Tacoma before ! It happens !

One observation that I had made over the years on the 502 platform was that for some reason they used more oil. The ones that I had been around would consume a quart every 10 running hours. Even the lower hour engines would do this. Only things I can reason is it was due to the large bore and...

If you want a good gain and solid reliability I would look to a BBC 540 I have never met someone who was unhappy with a purpose built 540 and years ago BlackWater made a beast mode reputation running EFI 540s with big 4 blade props paired with a 2.55 on their tour boats. SwampThang got a...
