Been on the hunt for a while just waiting for the right boat.. so in my search a friend of mine gave me a call and made me a deal I didn't want to Pass on. In this deal I acquired the whiskey tango hondo. It's a river boat that my family and self intended on racing, sand bar lurking and boat show shining with! The boat has been owned and operated by my buddy wayne smith he powered the boat with a big inch ford power plant whitch I did not Aquire due to me having my own BBC. The boat was rigged by wayne and don mumma @ fantasy rigging, paint by TRG and bottom work by Jim Lang.
Thus far I know It will be powered by a Tom Masek racing engine, it will be at B1 racing for new plates, dry sump tank mount, flywheel cover and some other odds and ends.

Tom masek is going to build the power plant for the boat. Kinda wanted to go as big as I could so that no power adder was needed, my goal was to make as much power as my wallet and motor could make on a single dominated single plane intake. So talking to my pop and tom we decided to build a 632 from a dart block using a Callie's crank, Oliver rods, Ross pistons, Dailey 6 stage dry sump and Jessel belt drive, front mount jessel distributor, msd crank trigger and a set of 18 degree big dukes and to top the dukes off with a set of t and d rockers, biggest Holley ultra domiter I can get and a dart so plane and will see what she'll do... the boat when I acquired it had a BBF that was a similar set up with 900 horse that ran very well 6.66 at 126 in parker so will see what I can do and what it'll run.

Went with a ARA1 dry sump tank just for the pure quality of it. Very nice for the price IMG_1344.jpg IMG_1342.jpg

Got my pistons from Chris at Ross and WOW things are bitchen!
Got the new Holly 1475 to feed the beast and most everything polished and ready for assembly in the next couple weeks! Also did some checks to see how the carb lines up with the manifold needless to say some widleing will have to be done!
