MM, like Larry said, Ive ridden and driven his Tique- its no slouch. With 2 people in the front (and none in the back) it will still bounce pretty good, so the hull is fast- and my experience with Chevies is that they breathe pretty good on the top end. Id be curious to see what the GPS says, but I wouldnt be surprised if it were in the 51-53 range.

Tim...I have no doubt his Boat is fast, im just saying you cant trust any speedos to be right on the money at top speed, mine show my Boat running almost 10mph slower, and they are brand new!

Nothing special as far as I know. A PO could have done something to the internals, but nothing that I know about. Its got an Edelbrock 1406 600 cfm., Mallory distributor, which had an old elect ig. conversion kit that quit on me, which I replaced with a mallory e-spark (per Boat drs recommendation). Other than that, factory engine. Like Tim said, its my understanding they have a little more top end than a ford.

just a stock 350 with a holley and alum intake and some ignition should take you to at least 270 hp at a minimum. my skylark had at best 160 hp with the buick v/6 and although i gained appr 80 lbs with a v8. I would think you will hit the mid 50s . Cut the wheel at 45 and you will realize. its enough for anyone in a 16.5 boat. have fun and that is a great color . definitely in my top 2

peter1234..you should wait until the last 30 seconds to place your last bid, so you dont jack the price up to high, I was going to bid on them because I need the Elbows, but I wont ,Good Luck!

Wow larry thats pretty stout for a stock motor. Mines going to be fun I think it will make some good power breathing through those big Glenwood manifolds. I might have to put 3 inch thru hull tips on it to let the motor breathe like it should with that chebby in it. Peter are you still running the smaller thru hull tips on your green boat?
What kind of rpm's are you crankin WOT larry and peter?

I am going to run either 3 or 4 inch probably 3, and I would think it will make most of its power around 4300 to 4800 but that gets awful loud so i will see . I wonder what prop will work best for me .

Is PVC a realistic option for the exhaust?

Not at all. I doubt the engine ever ran like that. There was soneone that didnt have a clue that did that engine conversion. Probably why it never made it to the water.

Still in process. Look at my post called The Skylark Files. We got side tracked with college and job changes things like that but it is back in front on the chopping block in the barn. Hope to get it running this winter and float it in the spring.

I got it for free out of a yard it had been sitting in for 13 years. The lady talked to the owner and he said if we could move it we could have it. It took two black dodge trucks and one car trailer and it was home that evening. Sadly both of those trucks are long gone but the boat is still with us.

Anyways looks awesome so far!
