A flat bottom can be made to run pretty fast without spending a complete fortune on an engine. How do you plan to use the boat, since you have posted in the boat racing section. Friend of mine just bought an absolutely beautiful Canyon flat this weekend for 20K, less engine. He got it for his daughter to drag race.Is it possible to build a relatively inexpensive 100 mph V-8 boat? What kind/brand boat and what motor? Assume an outboard would be cheaper but like the sound of a V8.

Thanks for the replies. Don't want to kill myself or anyone else. I know water doesn't forgive mistakes as happened near here a couple weeks ago.
For now, just wondering if it is possible at a somewhat reasonable cost. Appears it can be done.
Like the Stoker and a 502 beautiful boat.
Stoker and stock 502 is a little bit of a stretch to hit 100. But has been done.

A couple of years back I sold a long deck Hallett flat to a guy for $2300. He built his own big cubic inch engine and it runs over 100 at the drags, he showed me a time slip. I am currently working on gathering parts for a single carb 477 cu in engine that we plan to make 700 hp on the dyno on AV gas, to go into a drag boat for my friend's son. Pretty certain it will run over 100. As I asked before, what are you trying to do? You still did not define your idea of "inexpensive".Is it possible to build a relatively inexpensive 100 mph V-8 boat? What kind/brand boat and what motor?

Yes sir maybe a “little” over with that little 50998 is Damm close enough for me.
Pretty sure yours does 100 easily.
I’m not sure that boat is going 100 any time soon,There’s a red Wells V trap for sale on the Internet right now turnkey and cheap that is the cheapest hundred mile an hour deal around
496. I thought I saw one cheap with a pro charger deal at a blackhawkI’m not sure that boat is going 100 any time soon,
