My motor a 468 is 10.2 to 1 around 680 lift and I run an 1150. JMO 850 is too small. Find a 4150 to 4500 adapter and run a 1050. It will wake that motor big time.

Does anyone have or have any leads on some good used jetaways? Looking to pick up a few evening re building is necessary. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Finding a used one at a great price is like striking gold. I would post this up in the parts forum here and in a few other forums on the net. you mite get lucky. I know a new one runs about 1800$ now days

So for$ reasons and that I don't want to change out my already new intake for a dominator flange I'm going to run with a QFT 850 marine carb so here shorty I will have a  a demon 750 for sale more questions tho do I need  to run a bigger/better fuel pump I've been running the stock one  (mechanical )

An 850 is still very small for a 496. I run an 850 on my stock 460 ford motor. Hell my 468 chevy motor eats every bit of gas that the 1150 gives it.
they make a 4150 to 4500 adapter/spacer. I would do that with a holley 1050

And our best in show and longest haul went to Justsquirtin. He came down all the way from sacramento. Doug took home 50 $ a performance boat candy detail kit and the b1 loader, also a bunch of other goodies.

I haven't even had time to post till today. I'll get some photos up tomorrow most likely. Good turn out though. We didn't break 100 boats but it was close.

The winner of the best in show for the southwind regatta will not only win a nice detail package from performance boat candy. But will also win the 4 degree loader grate from b1_racing big thank you to Chris for the loader!

sure you can stick any motor in it.  you'll just need to get a matching 26" plate mount for those stringer rails.

are you looking for a gullwing in particular?  are you looking for a weekend ski boat or are you looking to make some WOT passes at the river?  that looks like a heavy layup with the small outer stringers.  You'll need to ask if they have the layup info on the hull.  cpperformance is the goto name in regards to the gullwings, other than a short production rouse.  hence the hefty pricetag for the half rigged hull.

Not trying to be an ass but, CP Performance has nothing to do with any of the California performance hulls. Bill scotten is the man to talk to about these hulls. He has the newer Rouse mold also.

Anyone know what about this hull? The guy is telling me California performance 18' for 7k with tandem axle trailer,  hull and all that's in it. Can I put a 455 olds in this?

thats a good deal for a CP. I wouldn't drop a 455 in it just because they don't like to go past 5000RPMs. I would put a BBC or a BBF in it for starts.

Yep that mine  thanks man Dana had it for 8 months and did everything wrong and cost me lots of money now its at gs and I just saw it today and almost done pushing to have it turn key ready to debut at the southwind regatta but it will be close.

The Launch at McIntyre will be 5$ on Saturday. Its normally 10$. *** They don't Have Beer at the store there. Get it in town at albertsons or where ever***
They Have 91 octane gas

The sandbar is 3 miles north of Mcintyre on the right hand side, right before goose flats. If you don't know the river above that sand bar, i would suggest launching at mcintyre. The sandbars get a bit big and hard to navigate if you dont know them.

There will be off duty cops and firemen to keep things in check if they get out of hand
The cops are fine with loud headers and performance boats, If you do something stupid or out of line they will be on you.

McIntyre snob is giving a 50$ gas card to the longest haul winner.
McIntyre mob has something for the worst Gel on the water ( its just for fun)

I got mine from up22 as well. Nice pieces for sure. Re primered mine then Gelled. It was not bad for the price. It was like 150 or something like that 2 years ago.
