    96 pre2002wt w/454 magnum

    Hi wanted to share with you some pics of my 96 pre2002wt.

    It has a Magnum 454 V8 EFI engine. Runs and make noise as hell. I think this is the motor that corvettes used to have.

    It behaves all right in choppy water, but if ballasted you have to be carefully with the driving and specially with the bow (think you all knew that already hehe).
    It is currently used in Monterrey, MX. the Place is a dam...called The Boca (or the Mouth). Anyone that have seen the DEFY (Danny Harf) video can see it on the Mexico section.

    I have taken good care of her, just bought it a couple of years ago and every season I try to enhance her, as far as the time and budget allows. And of course it is a never ending job. Sometimes I think twice on doing expensive upgrades, because the Tige family is not big in Monterrey (I think I'm the only one with one here in Mty), don't know in whole Mexico, so the resale value is not going to be that affected, but my pocket and marriage will.

    Well I don't want to bore you anymore with the introduction, please any comment or suggestion, throw it in, I'll be glad to here it.

    some of this pics are not new, but I'll throw some more once I bring home the boat, for its 2012 maintenance and get ready for march 2012.

    Sweet. Thanks for the pics. That thing has got to be a rocketship with that motor. What do you say you give me ride in it?
    You'll get your chance, smart guy.

        I think the spec sheet says it has 380 HP....so far I like this engine because it is very easy to access, change things, very similar to a car engine, so it makes it a little bit easier to fix in case needed.

        The only major change that I did, was connecting an electric gas pump, not sure if I'll explain in correctly but in this motor the original pump is kind of an hydraulic one and works with the belt system. The same one that uses the water pump.

        Anyone that comes to Monterrey, give me a holler and will be pleased to take you out to the Dam.
        Don't worry insecurity is going down in Mexico...ok not.
