Just came here to say. My Dad had a slickcraft ski boat with same engine. As kids we would get excited to see ppl on the docks jump when he started it up. 😂 The sound of that engine is so amazing. One time this old couple jumped, then the old guy looked at my Dad with a smile, and a thumbs up, so my Dad revved it a little, Good memories...:)
The 351 Windsor was a great engine, most boats have gm engines I wish more were ford powered. My brother and I bought 2 sea rays in 1993, his had a 350 Chevy and mine had the 351, 2400 hours later and mine still runs like a top, he had to rebuild the 350 years ago with way less hours.
Did you remove the mufflers yourself could you please do a video of this day walkthrough of your exhaust setup mine currently has the inverter flow muffler I have the single exhaust out the back. I am wanting to know if I can just straight get rid of the inverter flow muffler and straight pipe it with no issues
Hello, I am from Estonia, and I was finding your channel randomly on UA-cam. You have a good videos, waiting for new ones already :D Cant wait, to see that boat in water :)
hey i have 1985 malibu skier i beleive with same motor 351w , can you tell me the numbers for your spark plugs and wires also the firing order or sparkplug wire diagram
It pulls it just fine. Slightly underpowered for today's standards, but it does have the 5.4 with the factory tow package, so it does have 3:73 gears, that helps a lot. Love the profile pic! LOL

Nice!! I've got a 1974 Ski Nautique. Same engine. Also a 1989 Ski Nautique in the family as well, also same engine! Great sounding boats.
Nice boat. Brings back memories from my childhood in Michigan. Can't to get another boat, but first I need the S8 running.
Thanks! Yes, get that thing running, I need to see it!
Awesome boat! I have a 87' Supra Saltare with the 351 and 2500hrs that still sounds bad ass. Would love to see some slalom videos from you.
Sweet! The slalom course is set up. I just need to get out there!

do all boats attract all that many items during the winter - storage problems ??

How well does that truck tow that boat? Is it a 5.4? We had a similar setup the other day with same truck pulling a boat with a 351

Are you into full on building 4wheelers stuffs... If yes plz take that as a project too... Just a suggestion... So far so good... 😂😂
How many miles a gallon does that 351 get ???
I have the same motor in my boat. They are thirsty.
Can you run these in salt water?
If you installed a closed loop cooling system you could. Mine draws water from the lake, so I couldn’t In the current configuration.
Have you bought a new boat yet?
Nope! Still rockin this one! Had it out a few days ago
