Thanks for the pics of a great boat.
Pick it up in 2 weeks when my trailer is done...so sadly I'll be garage boating until spring.thunder550 wrote: Mon Oct 16, 2017 2:00 pm Catching up from the weekend...welcome! Very nice looking boat. Are you going to get a chance to use it before winter sets in, or gotta wait til spring?
Bonus points for garage beer pics!BIGGUSBLOCKUS wrote: Mon Oct 16, 2017 8:33 pm Pick it up in 2 weeks when my trailer is done...so sadly I'll be garage boating until spring.
Thank you! While a powerglide is a fine transmission, it has no place in a big block Corvette! ( Except maybe at the drag strip) It's set up with a close ratio 4 speed Muncie that has been built especially to compliment a solid lifter rat motor. Geared to Keep the RPMs right in sweet spot until you hit fourth and then she settles down and cruises. I like to drive my cars.cmattj wrote: Mon Oct 16, 2017 2:31 pm Knock offs... side pipes.. and a big block.. sweet ride..
A lot of vettes that era where power glide 396.. is she manual?
Hey picturesBIGGUSBLOCKUS wrote: Sun Oct 15, 2017 8:14 pmHello all, Just gave my deposit on a new to me 2007 232 with a 6.2 and a B3. 255 hours, one owner, very clean and nicely optioned. What sold me on this boat over the other 232s and 242s I looked at was the stereo upgrades. JL Audio 8" speakers everywhere and a huge amplifier. Bluetooth head unit, etc. I was surprised at the anemic sound of the factory stuff.
Looking forward to learning and contributing. My screen name comes not from my boat but my other Fiberglass toy - a 1965 Corvette with a big block 396 under the hood.
Ill try to post up some pics when I'm at my computer .
