    It's posted on my thread. Unfortunately I've been very busy lately but another 5-10 hours of run time and we will attempt the record.

    I have pics somewhere without the windshield and Checkmate decal. The boat looked much better.

    I have to come clean lol. The boat and motor was a 1988. I actually had an XP200 on the boat but put that hood on to see what it would look like. I really ran that boat hard and thought the weight of a V8 would rip the transom right off the back. There was no way to install tie bars correctly because the transom was not straight across. It looked awesome without the windshield or name. This is the pic with the real motor.

    I am so impressed by all of the pictures on this thread, they are just super cool. Here is a few of my little fishing dinghy during/after the rebuild with Monty powerheads, Bobs Jackplates, Bobs nose cones, Kiekhaefer tabs, and a few other mods:











    And if you wonder, yes it is a fishing boat and yes it is a back yard project. Think I can get it through 88MPH once it is broke in?

    I like it wayyy better w/the windshield.

    When I sold them in '89 we an 8 on a Starliner w/a 6" jacxkplate and a 30" Chopper. We didn't touch the motor board and it did stress crack at the corners but never moved beyond the initial crack and we bit the piss out of the boat.

    I am finishing a modded 3.3 looper project on a Starliner and then it will end up w/an 8 on it.
    I'd rather be competitive w/junk I built in my garage than win w/stuff I bought.


    I refuse to allow common sense to interfere w/my boat buying decisions.

    Wow that is cool. I wanted to put a V8 on my Starflite so bad but the transom was cracking all the way across, not just small stress cracks in the corners. I had large plates on the inside and outside and I only had a 200XP on there. That boat ran so well and was so dialed in I wish we had gps back then. Mike Spinelli made my prop and it was perfect. I wish I could see pics of the inside of that transom with the V8 on there.
