Sorry bro...I was just kidding. The only BIG block I ever see going on it is a 4.2L VMAX SHO

I always thought a blown 4.3 chevy on an alpha ss drive would be cool in a GS.

Hows this grab ya Whipper? A GE T-58 1325 hp turbine coupled with an Arneson surface drive. The T-58 is a little heavier than ya want at 350 lbs, but it more than makes up for that extra weight with the additional HP. The drive weighs in at about 285 lbs, so the combined weight of 635lbs puts you at less than what a Verado 350 SCI weighs in at.

Though I like Turbine boats for there speed and power to wieght i dont like how loud they are. There was a 160+mph one up hear a few years back. Took a while to accelerate but man once he got gong. Also very slow to slow down. :gasp Whould be fun though.:big grin I think the 23ft GS with a 15inch 300XS Simon motor would more fun.:big grin

A 23 foot bass boat with a 98 inch beam... Yeah that'd fit me perfect. Fatboy likes the room.

i talked with darris for about an hour and a half this morning about the new boat! all i can say is WOW! when this boat comes out he will set a new allison standard again. all the test are going great. i think darris is even excited,lol. it sounds awesome, and with VERY impressive numbers so far. pretty neet that a twenty three footer will not take up no more garage space than a 20 footer.

well daris told me that this new design would (hull) would possible produce 4 to 5 other boats. and he did mention looking at one point looking at his bass boats, but that was after the first couple. daris is very excited about this hull. u can hear it in his voice.

Yes. I know the answer to that question. He told me at Jasper that he could put any top cap you want on it! Yes a 23 foot Allison bass boat is in my future!!! Hallelujah!

I can only imagine what the price tag is going to be on the 23 footer. I've already been priced out of a new 21 footer.......LOL......just can't justify that kind of money in a boat. I guess it's a good thing I love my XB2003.
