Yes, it's a Ford 351, hell may have frozen over, I bought a ford.

I know just what I'm lookin for
Thunderbird will do just fine.
the ford is a good engine. Weve got one in our ski boat, if you need any parts let me know
Creighton, you have done stuff with that jeep that would make a goat go "holy ****!"
kick ass!!! well you know i frequent dallas now... ill defenitely help it get broken in
That's a nice classic style competition ski boat, will never really look old. Notice the 2 speedometers. Should move pretty dam quick and turn sharp with 250 hp mounted in the middle. Bet it'll pull a mean ski tube. If it doesn't allready have them, watch for some powered adjustable trim tabs on the ebay. That boat is tuned for skiing, small wake. If you just adjust the tabs you can get a bigger wake but it'll hurt the boat's performance for cruising and such. I wonder how big you can make the surf wake.
I plan on cruising it about 1/4 mile from the ramp to the dam and wakeboarding, so I'll check into the tabs.

usually those boats are flat bottomed and so they plane real well at slalom speeds and don't make any wake at all but at slower speeds they make a mean wake, at least that is how our is, it helps that the shaft seal leaks and the back of the boat fills with water too

there are some tabs you can get that adjust semi automatic like. they are not power but have a hand pump mounted and you can pump them up by hand and then turn a valve to release$$...or you could spend big bucks to get $$$the electric/hydraulic ones..or like kopeckis talking about the manual ones$.
do these involve vaccuum tubes in any way?
Nice boat Jimmy. Just throw some weight's from your new bench in the back...

Change the name of the Boat to "Skeet ya later"

edit: oh i'm dumb your boat is not the one in the ebay ad. you should still name your boat that.

It's bad luck to change the name of a boat. As far as I know this boat has not been named yet so we should be good. I thought about Ski Ski Ski. Burris wants to call it "The $30,000 Millionaire" Which I like, but it needs a dirty slutty woman's name.
