    Living Spaces 4pc sofa with chase lounge

    Wow, dropping the price to $800 for a sofa that cost $4000 new and is still in perfect shape sounds like a great deal. It's incredible when you can find something high-quality for a reasonable price, and even better when it comes from a clean, smoke-free, pet-free home. Plus, getting all the...

    Google Ads, PPC, SEO, etc.

    Understand you on the Google Ads front. It's been a game-changer for many businesses, but the constant changes can indeed be a bit overwhelming. I've also noticed that patience and starting slow is key, especially for newbies. A quick jump in CPC or sudden changes can mess with the optimization...

    1971 Schiada Flat question

    Hey everyone, Sorry if it's a dumb question or has been answered (I searched but didn't find anything). I've got a '71 Schiada flat bottom I inherited from my old man. I'm getting her back on the water and will have the engine done this month, but had a "creature comfort" question. The torque...

    New to forums, old Schiada flat owner

    So initially I had planned to do a Honda K24A4 turbocharged in it, but I have changed my mind and will just do a badass small block build on it so that I don't have to re rig anything. The main objective right now is to get her on the water and the family having fun. I still want to pursue...

    O2 bungs in wet Bassetts?

    Hi there. Has anyone messed with EFI with wet Bassett headers? I REALLY want to keep those headers but I REALLY want to go EFI as well. The tech guy at Holley told me that they didn't have anything to deal with the water but that if I searched "dry O2 exhaust adapters" I might find some...

    Schiada contact info?

    Does anyone have an email I can use to contact Schiada? Their website is, well, nothing basically, and has been for a long time. I'm restoring my dad's 1971 Schiada flat bottom and have some questions about paint layouts and stuff that I think they'd be best to ask. I live in Riyadh at the...

    I'm just going to have to gear/prop for it, even if it means leaving some on the table on the top end. The plan is for it to be our family boat anyway so I'm okay with leaving some on the table on the big end if that makes sense.

    Heck yeah I'll take whatever advice I can get. I know it'll need some low end to get on top of the water but the builds I've done on these same motors before will make more torque below the crossover than the motor that's coming out of the boat and it ran fine before.

    Big new plans for an old Schiada flt

    Hey everybody, thanks a lot for all the feedback! I'm going to try it without a transmission first, but if I HAVE to go that route I can. I've built and been involved with quite a few builds on this platform and I'm confident I can make this work. The biggest benefit for me is being able to move...

    Big new plans for an old Schiada flt

    HAHA! Oh I know it. I'm sure there will be plenty of people unhappy about it, but the fact is that I can make more power with less weight and have a fuel injected fuel sipper versus sticking with the SBC or going down that road. I assume there will be a lot of people unwilling to help and that's...

    Big new plans for an old Schiada flt

    Ya I thought about going with something domestic, but I've built smaller Honda's with more torque than the SBC that's in it so the bigger long stroke 2.4l with a turbo will be good for that little boat. We'll be in the 500hp range with around 400ft lbs tq, but we'll run a turbo on the smaller...

    Big new plans for an old Schiada flt

    Hey everybody! New guy here. I recently inherited my dad's 1971 Schiada flat and plan to do a full resto with some modern changes to it. As it sits it has a SBC with a Hall Craft v drive, but I got a Casale with it as well. The boat was sunk about 15 years ago so it has to be completely gone...

    New to forums, old Schiada flat owner

    Hi all, I'm Kyle. I'm new to the forums and looking for good resources on doing a build myself. I recently inherited our childhood family boat from my dad, a 1971 Schiada flat bottom. About 15 years ago the boat sank at Saguaro Lake in AZ with my sister at the wheel, and it has sat on the...
