Classic Ski Boat 4 sale16ft 1969 Arrow Classic Ski Boat
This boat is FAST!
I bought this boat a year ago with designs on speed and fun. She more than fit the bill. and have taken good care of her. I replaced the starter, alternator, and battery last summer. I also reinforced the trailer, added a swing away trailer jack, replaced the safety chain with dual coil safety cables, and upgraded to a strap-type winch replacing the old and frayed cable style.
LOA: 16 ft
Draft: 1ft (if that)
Beam: 'bout 4-5ft
Seats: 4
Engine: Blueprinted and BUILT Chevy sb 350 w/ 4-bolt main, crower cam, raw water cooling but run in fresh water only, Edelbrock Torker intake manifold, Holley 4010 (I think that's the right model #), newer Hardin Marine Wet Log type exhaust manifolds, K&N oil filter. This baby will spin at 6200rpm with no problems, and has that classic open V8 hot-rod sound that will most certainly put a big ol' grin on your face! Turn key!
Drive: Berkeley Jet pump blueprinted to the motor for hole shot and skier towing by CP Performance in Rohnert Park. Coupled with the engine there is virtually no time to plane. You put your foot down and you are gone. Has been known to pull multiple skiers.
Top speed: 52knts (60mph) clocked with a handheld GPS against the albeit negligible current on The Delta. Can be much higher with a more aggressive impeller, but if your like me you'd miss gut wrenching acceleration.

what do you guys think of it. i like it because its a small block and we can pump it up pretty good and with it being 16ft might be an ok ride for maybe 60? what do you guys think of it thanks. -tyler
