More importantly, it carries at or over 500 lbs for 1200 RPM thru the curve.

Dicks mills are just a little less durable than an anvil.
I regret not meeting Dick sooner or I wouldn't have wasted money on building and re-building blown small block variants.
I never could get that shit working right, and when Dick looked at it the first time he started laughing at me.
I wish Id have had him build me a big block, but I can put ridiculous number of guys on the trailer with this setup, and its such a bargain I hate go mess with it further. The boat though can take more speed and still be stable.
This little boat has actually had a lot of press as it was the Laveys flagship Sebring for a few years before they sold it off to me.
Heres a trip down memory lane- check out Bob Nordskogs face while test driving her in 91 performance boat evaluations.

Uncle, you know I think your set up is right on...
I certainly didn't mean to come across like I was trying to give advice or say anything negative about you OR CHevelle's build...
Clearly you have to balance having something with manners, a reliable piece AND squeezing every last pony out of a mill with regard to compression ratio, running a monster solid roller cam AND/OR twin dominators... :)
Lets plan on making a trip to meet ole Joe in the near future... Just for kicks... http://www.joeshermanracing.com/
Wasn't thinking you were coming across any specific way at all. Just chatting.
I know Sherman builds a nasty award winning small block - but I've never seen one in a boat.
I think Joe is retired and the kid is building them these days.
I talked to both Sherman and Gazan at the same time early on and thought Dick had a better handle on where to go with a boat setup.

Next time you come out feel free to bring a sister or sisters friend or something. Waay to much sausage in the rig of late.
Heres the rig in Hotboats 93 calendar - The cloth interior was killer at the river, but lousy on the humid Chicago fox river.
Cant remember the models names (hard to imagine how that could happen)
