post some pics of this engine and HP rating.... I may be interested

The engine is in a buddy's shop, and he's on holidays. Send me your email and I'd gladly grab pics when he's back. Its rated at about 190 HP, has about 400 hours on it, and runs well. The exhaust manifolds are cracked from the previous owner who didn't winterize it correctly.

I also just bought an older 19' Eagle pleasure tunnel that I'm rigging for FX. FX 77 Liquid Courage. So if anyone happens to have lifeline or SRP race jackets, race seats, or current harnesses, give me a shout!

Anyone have any real life comparison of an 8.1 vs 5.7 or 6.0 in a 21'? How much worse would a 8.1 be? Should be able to pull more impeller and cruise at lower RPM with the 8.1?

My buddy runs a 22' with 8.1 L with hamilton and it gets the same as my LS3 with scott in a 19'...around 10-11 gal/hr

8.1's are very heavy but a great motor .
Just about 1100 lbs ready to drop in.
The others are a lot lighter. Around the 700 lb mark.

Beautiful boats here guys! Mine aren't picture worthy. I just sold a 19' Eagle tunnel and have a 19' nahanni all freshened up with a new zz4, rebuilt Berkeley and steel keel. Next winter, she''ll get a new trailer, paint, interior, and tops then she'll be brand new.
