Tony took the time to help me design, spec most parts, and he built me a new 604 predator. I know there are others out there but, Tony is one of the people that have actually built, designed, raced and kept these unusual engines alive while ruling the bracket boat world. While this engine is not ideal, he actually spec'd the camshaft for a 540 with a short stroke and 4.500 bore. It is by no means a max effort build and hopefully will just be able to keep up with the aluminum B1/MC I have been running, as the car will weigh 200#'s more. Thanks a bunch Tony, I'm on my way back out to work on this beast. You may need to come out here and have another talk with it, it's fighting me again.....Thanks again!

Im sure you will be happy! now get that thing running.....

Not to hijack but what bracket do you run in? One of the local boat racers runs a Ford powered jet boat in the 9.0 class, thier prepping it to run the 8.0 class next year, they say

We run the 8.0 class with a pair of plate air t-stops tied together... have been 6.80s in the quarter at over 165 with the stops off, or 8.0s at 155-160 with the stops on.

I've always thought that trying to go fast in a jet boat was way more of a challenge than I wanted to try I like your picture, running on the prop with no boat in the water in the rear past the prop shaft strut I'm suprised that you don't have a capsule
