The guy emailed me a couple of weeks ago. He said he'll take $1,500 to get rid of it. Don't know what the motor issue is, but if it's a 460 shouldn't be too hard fix. I have a set of 460 iron heads here. 460 blocks are a dime a dozen and unlike other Ford motors, all the same until they went EFI so there's a gazillion of them out there.
Do you know what's wrong wtih the motor Chad?

james take a square (straight edge) and just lay it on the back of the boat, you'll be able to tell if theres a hook, i dont think you'll be able to see it just by eyeballing it
blazeracer said:I used a 12 foot long straight edge and it looks pretty damn good. The way the Glastron pump entrance is I think there is no issue. Check out these pics, it's like there is a hood scoop underwater.
Checked in front of the intake slope with a 2 foot aluminum level, it's spot on.
I've read, don't know how true it is, that because Glastron did the intake like this an aftermarket loader won't fit. The angle is wrong. Not your typical E-pump.
blazeracer said:Googling around with Iboats and others it would appear the common consensus is 1/8" tolerance within the last 18 inches of hull is acceptable. Some of the guys over there are talking about having gaps 3/4 inches. I might be able to get a .030 feeler gauge in there...
It's now wet sanded and ready for spray..
