I built a 23' Rinker about 10 years ago with a 468CI big block with Dart Heads, etc.. made 720 HP on the dyno. The boat when I bought had a bad 454 in it, put in the 468, redid the shafts on the Bravo drive, proped it properly, and went 82MPH on a radar gun. Was a hell of a sleeper, as no one expects a Rinker to run that good!

Thank you! Skiing is its main purpose. It doesn't have the small wake of a tournament ski boat, but the 8 seats and built-in 15 gal ice chest make great family ski days. It can store a barefoot boom, wet-suits, 3 slalom skis, 2 tubes (deflated) and all the ropes, gloves, lotions you need out of sight so everyone has moving around space. The engine makes sure that towing multiple slalom or barefoot skiers is never a problem. Plus it teaches the grand kids what a V8 sounds like and why they should want one.

Oh how I love a Glastron SX-190….1984 or 85 I assume in the vid. One of the best there was or has been in its size class. Looks great and loves HP. Pop had one with stock 350. Swapped out to aluminum headers, custom cupped prop, few other minor tweaks, and slight up trim at full throttle and 62/63 mph was no problem and stable. Excellent power for hole shots pulling skiers with great top end to put a few bugs in your teeth. Always fun surprising the Checkmates and small Donzi’s when they realized they couldn’t always win. How I miss that boat.

@@gearsports26 Thanks. Your engine and boat combo is super nice. Did or do you have issues with cooling at top speed? The stock Mercruiser outdrive was a bit problematic with not being able to pickup enough cooling water at top speed, especially with slight up trim to reduce hull drag. Are you running the stock outdrive and/or did you modify to another water pickup method?
@gearsports26
6 ай бұрын
Hi @@mic4725, I am running the stock outdrive and the water pressure is pretty low at high speeds. However, I have not seen any cooling issues. This may be partly because the LT1 engine has aluminum heads and reverse cooling so the the heads get the cold lake water first and make maximum use of the available water. Also, I have not run continuous full throttle for more than a few minutes. The boat stability gets a bit sketchy above 65, so I typically punch up to top speed and then slow back down. I am also running a oil cooler plumbed into the water line coming from the outdrive and it keeps the oil temp around 220F at full throttle. I don't see either the oil or water temp creeping up during a run, but then again I don't go miles and miles at top speed.
