Nice!!! I have my Senator running about 69 on gps with a stock peanut headed 454 with headers and a 2' shorty. Like you, cant wait to get the new engine in. (598 with dart 360`s!) Hope we cross paths someday, your boat looks good. Not too many Senators around here. I cant wait to see how much power these boats like!

i got some ideas for the winter, not sure exactly what yet.. but i am gonna stay with the 350, or maybe a 383?? not sure yet!! but its gonna be a small block..:devil:
 
Small Blocks are great.... check around the used NASCAR stuff. You could build a 500 hp 355 that will live forever at 5500 6000 rpm for what I have in my crank! There are places in the Carolinas with warehouses full of parts. Just dont use their camshafts, get a Crower marine cam. The car ones usually dont have enough lobe separation for marine use (you need about 114 degees). If you are running 70+ with a mouse now you certainly have it dialed in already! My buddy has a 20` baja with a 350 and I`d love to see him put some more power to it.its around 62 right now.
 
mine tops out at 59. what did you do to the motor? still running the alpha? i have a 350 sbc also. want to buy the enforcer i i find one locally.or build up the senaotr.
 
Nice there Buss! Get a drive shower on that alpha pronto man! Next year should be interesting between yours and mine......I hope I won't loose that bet again!
 
Impressive #s I thought... then I realized you're still running a 350... very impressive!:bigthumb:

I think I can guess what the next mod will be:sssh: lookin a little crispy.:eyecrazy:

Buss what else have you done to this rig. It can't be all stock with prop swapping, can it???:poke:
 
If he told you, he would have to kill you.......:eyecrazy: Haha. Hey Buss.....I have a great idea for your drive change. Why don't you go buy me an Arneson-Bravo conversion kit and I will give you my whole Bravo set-up for free.:poke: Aren't I a great guy or what?
