V8 seems a bit of overkill in a toon, no?Yes Sir ! I have the complete wiring, throttle/ steering and all wires down to the fuse and horn. Lol
I appreciate your input. My local boat shop was telling me it’s not the same cutout on the transom.
And all stringer's and transom are solid. It actually a 1988 Playcraft 24’ hard top pontoon. So plenty of room![]()
It’s all in nice condition, even the original seats. I had a 22’ Wellcraft. I had a semi built 5.7 built probably 340 to 390 HP.Make sure the center pod is firmly attached
That's an OMC Cobra, and if the cutout isn't the same, it's VERY close. All you might need to do is drill a coupe of 11mm holes at the top of the cutout..... My local boat shop was telling me it’s not the same cutout on the transom....
Some have 454's and 502's in themV8 seems a bit of overkill in a toon, no?
It’s already 30 MPH, after we make and install stakes and motor it should be a 45 mph minimum!!V8 seems a bit of overkill in a toon, no?
I think you're being a bit optimistic. If it's making 26knots with the V6, I think you'll only make about 5 or 6 knots more with a V8. Power vs speed increase is NOT linear, it follows the rule of squares. ie, doubling the power does not double the speed, it'll only increase it by about 15% to 20%.It’s already 30 MPH, after we make and install stakes and motor it should be a 45 mph minimum!!
Just a fun toy, pretty much a sleeper.
Okay, will sends pics later….I think you're being a bit optimistic. If it's making 26knots with the V6, I think you'll only make about 5 or 6 knots more with a V8.

Just found this?? Maybe the opening is not the same???Same width, you'll need some extra room up front. Motor mount locations are different. Cut out is the same. You'll need a *complete* engine package, controls, wiring, exhaust, etc.

That's for the old BMW/Volvo drives. You have an OMC Cobra (I've looked at the photo).Just found this?? Maybe the opening is not the same???
