Awesome restoration job!!!!! Congrats on an awesome boat
 
Wow, you are living my dream! Someday I want to restore a Pachanga too, just like you. Nice job!
 
Looks like a well engineered package. You kept the HP output low but I bet that 468 has a torque kick like a mule!!

What drive ratio are you running and what pitch prop? I think you have built a dynamite combo. What size double pumper is that Holley?...750?...I love the twin cylinder tabs...you're going to need them:thumbsup:

Let us know how it runs out. I'm guessing a comfortable 45~50 MPH cruise with a top end approaching 70.
 
Very nice. Im going to have to make a trip or two up to the saginaw this summer. I was up that way a bunch this winter slaying the walleye.
 
She runs mid 60's @ 4800. Dynoed the motor this winter and she pulled 490 h.p. I did not want to be tinkering all summer so we went mild but a huge difference over stock.
 
I'm running a Bravo 1 X drive 1:50 with a 14 3/4" X 19p Prop SS 3 Blade. Actually I have not had to touch the tabs yet she eats out of the hole all by herself. the Holley is a Marine 850. Your numbers are close but this big pig would need 600 HP + to hit 70, I run the in the mid 60's comfortable. Thanks for the kudos!
