    Is this a worthy project for the price 800 dollars

    with any boat, its value is based on condition, condition, condition that boat is celebrating its 58th year, not bad for a boat designed to last 15 and be replaced. that fact alone could mean that the boat is a garage-kept gem or something pulled from the weeds and cleaned up for a quick flip...

    Piranha composite modular props

    the lake I was using them on is on the rock peninsula of door county. literally part of the niagra escarpment. the cabin I was at must have had about 30 or 40 bolders ranging in size from 2' aroung to 4' just outside the dock. it was great for fishing, not so much for prop longevity. I was...

    What´s the best replacement for AQ271C (or 570) 5.7 GM engine, ideally stroker?

    if you buy a pre-made spec built stroker, it will have cast pistons with 4-relief cuts. basically stock GM pistons. you leave a lot of power on the table (about 40-50hp) when you do that vs picking the proper pistons to work with vortec heads (LCQ style) cost of a new 6.2 base motor is about...

    What´s the best replacement for AQ271C (or 570) 5.7 GM engine, ideally stroker?

    if you understand righty-tighty / lefty loosey and can read AND understand instructions, you can assemble a motor. agree with @Lou C , your local boat guy doesnt know what he is talking about vortec heads alone on the motor are +30hp, with cam change, more. stroker adds a bunch more to the...

    Is this the aluminum head 470.

    yes, technically the drive will bolt up after you swap the motor (drive has to come off to pull the motor)
