Our old Ski Centurion had a Vortec 350 V-drive, but a newer LSx would be sick to wake board behind.

That's some badass stuff there. I was in a boat my uncle was trying to sell for someone that topped out around 80mph. Going 80 in a boat feels like 200 in a car. The skin on my face felt like it was going to peel off.

Bringin this back from the dead... A KB blower would be sick on that thing. Also keeping coolant temps down is a lot easier using a w/w heat exchanger like those found on boats vs a A/W heat exchanger. Imagine the looks you would get if someone heard that blower wine on the water.

Bringing this back. My Winter Project is going to be a 5.3 in an 87 Chris-Craft.

I was curious if you can take some closer pictures of the cooling system , and curious if you have a fresh water pump , or outdrive ?

Nice boat. WE have a bass boat so no LSX swap for us. It's got a 225 VMAX anyway so it'll run high 70's on a good day.

That's pretty cool. Mastercrafts have been putting LS1s in boats for about a decade now. Good clean reliable running motor for ski/wake boats. Not super torquey enough though for a speed and performance boat. Well done
