I thought you were looking for a project? That is a very nice rig. Go ahead and put the 540 with a 300 SHOT in it and the 468 back in the winger.



It is a project Grady :D !!!!!! It was alittle more than I wanted to spend but I got a proven boat and didn't wont to pass it up

I built the 540 for the winger as its my lake boat and my baby ;) .. I've built everything on the boat for the 540 so to take it out would be kinda crazy ... I finally got that thing runnin and pretty close to where I wonna be with it .. I'm gonna stick the 468 in the Cheyenne and see where it puts me and my plan is down the road build a all lumi high compression race engine and would love to get in the 8 second class .. Thats the plan as of now, its just gonna take sum time to make it happen .. I'm not gonna get out there and run a 8 or 9 second class in a boat that I don't know .. I think one has to really get sum seat time before you step it up to those kinda speeds .. Thats just me, I'm not scared of it, I just know that you have to respect it:D .. I'm gonna run a few races at the KDBA and would love to run the cove if they get it back going and maybe Weatland .. Were just gonna have fun and who knows might get real crazy with it and start running in the points chase .. You never know :thumb:

I'm not being a jackazz but really, Come on now!!! I ran 88 to 90 mph within a 1/4 with the 468 in my full interior 860 lb winger, thats gonna be in the 12 sec class .. This boat weights less than 400 lbs and you really think its gonna be slower :no: ..


I don't know what its gonna run until I get out there and do it and if its 15 sec class that will be fine with me:thumb:

Any timeline on gettin this thing race ready? Did I read that you got a lifejacket in the purchase? What about all the other gear? Dont worry about what all of the others on here will say, starting out, I should have done river racer and just ran it on motor, it is a pain in the ass tryin to take a lake rod that you have been trying to squeeze every mph you can out of it, then having to run motor, a lil nos, lil less diverter, pedal at 800 ft. bla bla bla, just dial in in RR and run the motor all out, then da biatch will be fun and consistant. I am sure I could found a set up that work, but i made lil improvements all the time, so every time i took my lake boat to the races, i had to throw out all my old data from previous races. whatever you do, try to have fun with it!!! Racin can be very stressful, especially if you dont have someone helping you out. I have a great group of family and friends that help me keep my head straight, and make sure the boat is ready between rounds.

That's the plan Josh, we gonna have fun doin it. Where ever the 468 puts me I gonna run it for a bit and over some time build another engine.. I got a lifeline with the boat and over the winter I'll get the other safety gear needed to race. I'm gonna keep this boat a race boat in race setup, it's real light and it won't be seein much river time other than sum test trips. I'm pretty cash poor right now so it's gonna take me sum time to get the boat out but I hope to make a KY lake race next year if everything goes good. The boat is pretty well ready to go for engine to be set in, I'm gonna go through the pump this winter and then just a few minor things that need to be fixed. The boat set for several years so just really needs sum TLC.. If you have any gear your lookin to get rid of give me a Holla. Thanks

Now all I need is some Horse Power !!!!!!!!!!

Well been workin on boat alittle at a time !!!! Got the pump fully polished (minus the suction housing) and picked up a nice SS MPD Fully Race Prepped impeller .. Doc ran a Agg Bronze, witch I have but I like the SS impellers .. Not sure witch 1 i'll run, I'll have to talk to my pump man :wink2: Sorry I didn't get a pic of the pump but heres the impeller

Next season will be here before I know it, so gotta get busy on this thang .. I wonna paint the trailer, gotta get the 468 freshen up and dynod and pump finished up, and get the the boat ready :))eek:))

All this racin goin on at BB might have to drag Hick Life out there. Sounds like just about everybody in the crew is gonna be running 500+ CI motas, should make for a good time:cool:
