BEAUTIFUL BOAT!
That's got to be one hell of a ride. What a sweet motor too.
What do you think you saved in weight with the aluminum heads, intake and exhausts? I've got a 454 crusader in my Whitewater and have toyed with the idea of putting it on a diet. How are you getting close to 3 mpg at 45 mph? My rig burns 15 gph at 3000 rpm. How does your setup do idling around for hours? I know it's apples to oranges (inboard fishing / to i/o cruiser) but it looks like you really have it sorted out.
