87 Ski Nautique 425hp?

The supply chain works like this CC calls and says we need this these and that can you supply it, and they say we can do that for this amount of money and then CC say's ok or goes and finds another supplier, Big cruisers have always had right and and left hand motors on them so getting a 425hp BB in a reverse rotation configuration isn't a f**king issue dumb a$$.

No the Previous Owner Probably had no clue but the CC Dealer who consigned it should have.There was speaker boards on either side of the hull that covered up the splits.Both sides had them running down them when I pulled the speaker boards out.Called the dealer and got no where with them.Sad as they are one of the largest volume CC dealers in the U.S. I am told.The stringers were perfect under all of that cracking.I have the floor up right now and am waiting to pour new foam.I am changing all the lines and hoses underneath just because.2 Batteries will be up front instead of 1 as well as a lot of other little additions.Hopefully my project will see the water by next summer.

Time to get back on your meds, Chris. You benn kinda mellow lately. You still down south?

ultra don't forget to make an area for a cooler and/or some storage. sure would be nice to have a couple custom features to free up some space on an otherwise tight situation.

NECC wrote: The 83 SN could be had with a 454 2 Bolt Mains 350hp or a unadvertised option of a 454 HO 4 Bolt Mains 425hp. The first engine was the most popular choice mainly because the additional cost of the HO model was about 3k over the 350 hp model

Maybe Craig from NECC can answer some 454 engine questions. He did install them in the 80's Nautiques. I'll see if I can get his response on the matter. This above quote was from a while ago.

79 may have just had a little of the "white lightnin" before writing that one out.

Chris, I'm sure when we meet next summer, I'll have a better understanding. Everyone has their own style of communication. I know you're going to like Tim, TBenj. He'll be at GL next summer. I know he can speak for himself, but I couldn't sit back an see him get dumped on without expressing myself. Smile, Chris ....be happy!

Is there a Mrs. Broshar?

The PCM 454HO 425 HP engine was LH Rotation (Standard Rotation)

The PCM 454 350 HP engine was RH Rotation or (Reverse Rotation).

To my knowledge I dont know of the 454 LH 425 HP engine being offered in 1987.....At least I never saw one with that engine in 1987.

Summit has this GM Goodwrench HO 454 crate that is very similar in description, for under $5500 i think.

Iron heads, rectangle ports, 425 HP at 5250 rpm, forged crank and pistons. Likely roller cam nowadays.

Good HP/$ ratio.

Thanks for the input, Craig! Problem solved.

Hollywood,

Here's something to add to the marriage quote:

Ken that's a really funny scene from one of the best all time movies. I'm just glad you didn't post the one of the midget on the trike with the Gene Simmons mask kissing Grandma.

...now you're probably going to, aren't you.

NICE JUGS
