Did you get the hull out of Waco we talked about last year?

**Porschesolutions** · 01-07-2013, 08:09 AM

Motor; 944 turbo, possibly with a 4v head. Light, powerful, torquey. I have an extra 4v engine too if I choose to go that route but lots more expense if I do.

I found this hull out in Penn, very inexpensive as it needed everything, but I'm ok with that.

The guy that built the Eliminator with the Supra motor turned out to be a pretty good runner, despite all the it won't work experts. On the other side with 4 wheels I'm rebuilding a GT

i like the thinking out of the box idea but the expense of building a water cooled exhaust and trying to build a cooilng system to work is going to probably be your biggest headache more so then making mounts and adapters to bolt up to a drive/jet.

It`d been a few years. Did this project ever get done?

The normal CVX's (most common by a huge margin) had a 300hp Ford 460 Jet, ran about 52mph or so. The Intimidator's ran 10mph faster with 260hp Mercruiser setup. There were also the outboard versions of the CVX as well as few others with slight deviations. Pretty boats!

I'll investigate the pad, thanks!

You'n me both. And the way I'm feelin I'm bettin on you.

Dude started floatin the idea on the G/C boards few years ago. Not to say that I ain't all for it. Just ain't holdin my breath waitin for any results.

No offense!

**Porschesolutions** · 06-05-2015, 01:30 PM

No no those thoughts are not unfounded...unfortunately. I have tow the cowl back on the hull and the flat fixed (rotted valve stem), so I'm ready to tow it to a closer place to start the rebuild: yay.

Going with Porsche Guards Red (added flake to match the modern Lexus pearlized white), and the Lexus Pearlized white (two-tone, like this picture).
