Yep... The race car goes on the back burner once again but I couldn't help it. A friend of mine called and said "bring me $500 cash and you can have my boat. No he doesn't smoke crack! Its a 21ft. 1989 chaparral 198 xl with an inboard/outboard 305 sb chevy/mercruiser. The interior needs work but the engine has 20 hours on it since it's rebuild. The lower unit has three hours on it and costs $3,000 brand new. I put my optima yellow top on it and fired it up. Purrs like a kitten... All I have to do is replace the shift cable and put in some pilot seats.. I'm thinking summitt racing bucket seats for the driver and passenger...

She can legally hold nine people but she can handle more than that, so duke boys and the rest of you guys get your life jackets ready (I only have a few)...

Oh and by this time next year.... I'm thinking 6.0 swap
pics coming soon...

 

Well, looks like I'll be sore again for a week after getting on another wake board........Oh, well, its worth it.

 

Wanna race???

 

yall bring a video camera if you all end up doing this . . . . sounds like the start of an interesting story

 

Please tell me that's a photoshop!! If not OMG!!!

 

nope... not photoshop here... yes that is a '73 polar-craft aluminum boat, and yes that is a '07 115hp optimax merc!!!


o and it is a little fast!!!!

 

o yea... thats a supercharged merc too..... no joke.

the blower looks like a little vacum pump sittin on top of the engine

 

That is just sic!!

 

That my friends is what happens when Rednecks get money!!

 

I was thinkin' that if that SOB gets in the water at full speed, that lil canoe gon catch a head-wind, and flip. With the weight of that Merc, I'd guess you NEED nine people just to keep the boat level.

JFWY! Nice buy! Get actual VIDEO of this thing moving on water.
