Title: Proper intro/ My boat build
Post by: BCouey on September 21, 2015, 10:06:53 PM

Been on the site for a couple months now thought it was about time to do a proper intro and show my boat build a little bit. My boat is a 1969 18' Tahiti, big heavy wide body hull. Was given to me and basically a trashed empty hull. Like most projects it snowballed from a low budget starter boat to what it is now. A heavy big pig that runs 90 legitimately on GPS.

It's had the subfloor replaced, three paint jobs, two olds motors and now finally my bbc 496 stroker last year. Around 750hp on motor, built by Lenox Built Performance. Setback pump, shoe, ride plate, capped hull, done the interior twice, pump two or three times. Runs a BC bronze and inducer pulls about 6300rpm.

Eventually I need to get into a tunnel or winger but for now this is what I got!

Thanks dude! Yeah Lenox has helped me the entire way, helped me set back my pump, build the pump, plumb and rig the boat. And most important he built my nasty ass motor! Lol

I think I met you at the first havasu race last year, we were pitted across from you with Lenoxs red and white Daytona right?
