Looks similar to my hull it's hard to tell without pictures of the rear or anything, mines a 1970 Sleek-Craft 19'
Mind you I've never seen another one of my hulls EVER, I saw one for sale outta state a few years ago and it was a closed bow also.
You can tell it's an earlier hull I believe cause it's rounded in the rear, typically style for 1974 and earlier
Could be that it's such an early hull like mine before the HIN's were stamped on the rear, also it looks like that
"open bow" was home made or something not sure

I love my Predator carburetor easy to adjust good fuel mileage about two and a half gallons an hour

How big is your engine? What revolutions are you turning?

I have the same engine with a regular oil pan. I can check the length for you in the morning, if you like.

Can anyone identify the make/model of this boat? My brother just bought it as a project, and we can't find any serial numbers on it anywhere.

I do want a mpi, some day when I can afford it, lol. Was just curious about the tbi to see if I could get better economy out of it. I will be running with the carb this season to see how hard it is on fuel.

They make a plate to adapt a Rochester TBI on a carburetor manifold. I have one if you are silly curious.

Look up Howell efi. I have one of their kits and it's based off of the TBI from the 90's.

I agree with Joe.  EECIV system is pretty easy and really available.

I am very curious, how much are you wanting for it?

I was only considering the tbi from a 454 because it is more readily available, and cheap, very cheap up here. I am in the middle of the prairies, and all of the Ford parts I have found are pricey. Most of the Ford truck intakes are plastic, and have O2 sensors in the system. I'm not sure how I would get them to work with my water cooled logs.

I am considering a cheap tbi setup to try to get more efficiency out of my 460. Has anyone tried this yet?

I am so glad that someone asked this, as I am having a few issues with this too. Thank you everyone, I am understanding my engine better now. I am new to jets and am almost ready to put this restoration into the water for the first time.

This is my new project. I might need some advice, but the price was too good to turn it down.
