My pastime besides space

Drove to Mildura yesterday to fit a wake tower to my boat just to try to keep the son happy this summer.
We have the boards but he has been on and on to me obout the tower so i caved in to the pressure.

About the boat:

350 4bolt Chev.
8:1 pistons.
Mellings cam.
750 Holley.
Doen Jet pump.

With the low compression pistons I can supercharge it but i,m not.
Happy the way it runs now.

Puts out a nasty rooster tail as the rear nozzle has an electric ram on it.

Since the Menindee lakes are full for summer thats where you will find me.

Cheers Kev.

Nice toy! Last time I saw a chevy block with a blower like that it was in a mate's funny car at Eastern creek. These things hit you in the chest when they rev. Make sure the ladies in the back seat tie up their hair.

Hi David the 750 is a vacuum secondary thus it is not a double pumper.


Hi Marc the motor is not blown, It just has a scoop sitting atop of it.
But your right the ladies could get there hair sucked in through the scoop. Would make for a quick cut tho.

Since I brought it all this way i,m putting it in the water tomorrow before i take it back home( Hope it is warm).

Cheers Kev.
