I'll use this thread to update you all on the installation of the Toyota ski boat engine in a 1972 Chris Craft XK18. The Chris Craft was previously a jet boat.
A couple pics as I am biggining to fit the Toyota engine and surface drive. The scoop was gone when I got the boat but the Toyota engine is low profile enough I may not put the big center scoop back, not sure. GPS speedo, tilt wheel also. Soon I will have two sets of holes, the old ones to fill (including a Big One in the bottom where the jet intake was) and the new holes to keep. Then blue metal flake paint, after splitting hull and blueprinting bottom.
Closed cooling system to fab also.
