Paul's Seacraft ski racing boat

I started out with this boat that ended up to be a seven-year project it originally had a six cylinder mid-mounted engine so I sent the boat to the boat builder who originally makes the boats and got about $6,000 worth of modifications done to the woodwork such as new nwooden bearers to accommodate the V8 engine had to get the steering convert it over to the other side all new gauges, the engine that I've built was done professionally by TDC in Bayswater it is a 308 strocke to 345 the crank was custom-made from crankshaft rebuilders it has yellow terror supa con rods hsw JE flat top custom pistons are imported from America the heads been ported and polished with the largest valves inserted 750 holly DP with mechanical secondarys custom 8 into 1 tuned leanth extractors made by star performance jet hot coating in silver, braided lines throughout the whole engine and boat chrome starter motor and alternator polished intake manifold custom fabricated surge tank all new wiring throughout that has been hidden new gauges threw out the dash to many other things to mention engine was run on dyno machine two times before it was installed into the boat and put out 460 HP runs on avgas after the braided lines and chrome polishing etc the cost was about $20,000 custom paint work was done by race paint in Braeside brand-new trailer all up after it was finished pages me about $32,000 but definitely worth it as it is a one of a kind.
