Laid Back Boaters

Here you go ford guys these seem to be very nice headers Cas has or had a pair for the BBC and they looked really nice cant bet the price for them You do need to buy the water lines and you can get the bassett ones at any boat shop

Them are sure purty. Mighty purty and the price is dang near too good to be true.

If you go to their store they have a lot of stainless steel tubing products. Sounds like a couple of guys working from their homes or shop. If they have a clue what they are doing thats a good deal.

+ $150.00 rebate if you send them a picture of your boat with them installed, not a bad deal at all!

I have a set of the BBC stainless headers that I'm trying to sell for InDeep and they're pretty darn nice. The welds on them are really nice!

kind of hard to see but the welds inside the collector are great

Nice, Been looking for a set of Headers. Just not sure if I want over or through.

For what it's worth, my opinion is to leave it pretty much stock and I surely wouldn't put OT headers on it. Your boat was built to be a cruiser so it's pretty heavy to give a good ride and not built for a lot of speed. Being that it's a heavy boat, it would take a lot of dollars, time and effort to get it up out of the water to get some speed.

Thanks you might have save me some cash! But I'm a high performance guy with a 460 build stuck in my head.(Megasquirt controlled efi tunnel ram build). PO said max on this boat was 68. Not sure if that's true yet.

It can get there but it's going to take more than just horsepower. In looking at your pictures, your boat would like a droop, diverter and the right loader to help get it out of the water. You can darn near get all those items for the price of a new set of headers and it would probably gain more speed than the headers would give it.....on your current engine.

So far it has a place divertor. Was wondering if a droop would help.. Needs a split bowl and a new intake. The edges on the intake looks like it's seen a few hard objects...

Yea, the droop lowers the thrust line which helps raise the back of the boat and then the diverter is used to adjust the attitude of how it rides on the water. Intake meaning the bolt in loader or the leading edge on the back side of the actual intake? If it's the intake itself, you can get under there with a file and /or a Dremel to clean it up. I did that to mine along with changing the shape a bit.

NO, I guess you would call them cutting edges?
