I just stumbled on this site and this thread. I ended up picking up the boat that you guys are talking about. I've had 2 SST's a few years ago. The first one got stolen, the second was sold not finished to a guy who worked for me. It appears that this SSV is pretty rare. I'm wondering if there will be much of a performance difference in that my engine was dyno'd at 485 hp and 525 'lbs at 4800 rpm. Probably not enough HP to make much of a difference between the SST and SSV.
I had this engine built and dyno'd, set on a stand and shrink wrapped 10 years ago. I have a new set of Basset Headers still in the box. A rebuilt berkeley JC with new A impeller and new SS shaft. Also a polished bell housing I've never used.
