My mom helped me drop it in by the way. My mom is pretty cool.

A street vehicle air cleaner is not required on a boat - no dust on the water. At least not yet. So just a flame arrestor is all that is needed, mostly to keep the bottle caps out of the intake.

When I had mine, 79 350vette with VP IO, it had some funky distributor on it. Normal GM distributors were not marine approved - DUH. Since marine parts are 4x as expensive as car parts we spent about a hours matching up the point, cond and cap to car numbers. Same $hit diff number and price. One thing that is a real good idea on a boat is a fuel filter.

Sand and salt are pretty common though. I'd prefer to keep the sand out.

Its coming together so when is the turbo going on?

Ha, my dad has the money, and apparently I have the great honor of doing the work for him.

Sexy...

I'm going to get it running this week probably. This boat is definitely a budget project. You wouldn't believe how little I have invested into it. So the turbos will come from pick your part. I'm hoping to get lucky and find two Mercedes diesel turbos. There was one last time I was there. I will remove the mufflers and send the water out the rear, separate from the exhaust, and port the exhaust from the water logs directly into each turbo, which will boost a carb pad (so I don't have to modify the carb or buy a bonnet. Carb pads are rare, so I might have to fab one.

I have a powerstroke turbo if you want it, needs a rebuild though.

L48 breathed fire after sitting for 6 years (literally, timing was way retarded how I had the dist in there at first and I had some craaazy backfires), took some coercion but runs like a champ in the boat! Just like it did when it took me to school everyday. Haha. How funny.

I don't think I'm going to boost this boat. I think I want to reupholster is myself this summer when I have time, sell it and buy a longer one with an open bow in the future, when I move and hopefully have room for it. It sucks only being able to take 5 people.
