I, for one, would love to see you do it. It would be unique for sure. Again though, your engine choice, I understand what you are saying by having the parts laying about, but there is a point of diminished returns on this hull. In other words, 400 hp would be way overkill for it, and the only thing you will likely get by pushing that much hp is a squirlly boat. Hell, if ya lived closer, I'd help ya out, and I'm a Ford guy ;) Go fer it.
