I have a 1968 stevens 18 foot silouette flat bottom that my father and I ordered new with no engine. Up until last year it had a 488 inch bored and stroked Chevy 409. Last year the V=drive was stepped up to 21% and a 509 big block Chevy was installed. Hasn't seen the water yet. The 409 now resides in my 55 Chevy. It's been a great boat.

The steering wheel came originally on the left side. We (my father and I) changed it as with a sole occupant (driver) it would favor coming down on it's left side when catching a little air. We figured by shifting the drivers weight to the right side it would help to counteract this. It helped. The 409 had a reverse ground camshaft which made the engine rotate opposite than stock. We thought that maybe this reverse torque caused the boat to rotate down to it's left. The wheel has been changed back since the new engine rotates stock direction. I'm pretty much convinced to take the boat all apart. Presently the interior could use a redo, the V-drive is out (it just got new gears that are designed to rotate the opposite way) and the boat could use a fresh coat of paint.

68 stevens
Hey I just wanted to say thanks to all of you for all of your information on the Stevens Boats. My father in law bought a brand new stevens in 68 he bought a 68 and now we have it. We love it! Our beautiful boat is 41 yrs old and has the original Mercury outboard motor. Little by little we have been restoring the boat. This year we gave the Mercury a good once over. We are planning next year or later this year to have the fiberglass repaired on the bottom. The boat does great but with the bottom messed up you cant leave it in the water overnight you have to shopvac the water out of it. My husband is a stereo freak so people are amazed that the sound coming out of our "old" boat sounds that good. When we are out on the Delta we have out own dance floor on the front of the boat. The boat is in our profile pic. If you have any history on it like a model or type it is I would love to hear about it.
thanks
Bonnie and Dennis

Stevens
I have owned three v-drives...Hondo, Cole, and a Howard. There is a club called The Classic V-drive club of America. I bet you can get some history from them. I remember seeing Rudy Ramos who use to build the Rayson Craft circle racers on their annual videos. Check it out. BTW- Nice boat!

newbie
I own this '58 Stevens Hull #132 bought by my Dad in '67. It has a nailhead buick and 3 holly 2's on an offy intake. Rebuilt and rigged 3 years ago. I think I saw somewhere back in the thread that these boats are making a comeback. Obviously not very practical for a family ski boat, but that's what I grew up with and so are are my kids now. No matter where we go there's no chance that anyone else will have something similar, especially here in Washington state.
