For the Mopar fans

If anybody's looking for a good deal on a Coronado, this might be it.

This guy's been trying to sell this boat for a long time and would probably take less.

John,

How could I forget; it does tend to bounce in 6' seas at GL. You and Patty sure looked good in those CC rain slickers.

Thanks phats, I've got my stock motor at just about the right stage of belt dust and oil slime.

Chuck

Well I remember a little bit of water in the back seat...but no bounce.

I have plenty of time to research before I build one for speed haha. Looks like ill go with the second gen hull. Ive always wanted a red 74 just like my dads first one.

Tim, I bet a big block making power would work out better in a first or second gen ski nautique due to them being longer and less bounce(I would assume).
Btw it would be pretty easy to get that 413 to crank out around 500 hp in the low 6000rpm range. Ried my wheels are turning and If one of those are still there when I graduate I smell another project boat.

Haha come on Reid be a good sport. Do you think my little skylark would still float if I threw one of those 413's in it? Talk about a scary ride.

I wonder what the best over all hull would be as far as speed and handling the power of a big block mopar would be. I have read on here that when you get over the 60mph mark with these skylarks and stangs they start to bounce alot.

Thats freakin awsome riley. They used that dual quad setup in the 300's and big chrysler cars in the early 60's late 50's.

I always thought it would be awsome to build a mopar boat and throw a cross ram intake and make it look and run like a ramcharger motor.

Reid if you still have those when I finish school one or both of them will definatly be sitting in my garage. What neighborhood money wise would you be asking for them?

The 440 single 4bbl's (hp)version were all 375 and 480 and the 6bbl's were 390 and 490 the 383 (hp) single 4bbl was 335 I dont know that they ever offered a dual quad 440(maybe marine if thats what ur talkin about) but the 361 413 and 426 i believe were all offered with dual quads but dont quote me on the 426. Sorry got off on a mopar tangent haha. Oh and if you are saying they made a 6bbl marine 440 ill *************** if i ever see one.

By the way Reid. You can bet that if I ever get a hold of one of those motors you have I will have the fastest inboard on CCF.com haha.

I've always loved that engine and the fact that Chrysler was so quick and common to sell a marine engine with dual quads. During the first few years of 440 production, they offered a dual quad 335hp model, and then later a 390hp 6-pak, just like in the auto world. Bruce, you got to get on him about keeping that thing cleaner and maybe detail that beauty. I still want to do something with the two 413 marine rev rot Mopars I've got and am still willing to sell one to Phats or some other Mopar fan out there.       

Bet that sounded off.
