...just bought an '83 Superslot w/a Chrysler 440, white with blue. Was told it was purchased from Cypress Gardens when they were done with it back in the mid-80's. Has been garage kept and not used (not even started) for 15 years, has 1100 hours on it. Anybody know how many of these were made with the big-blocks compared to the standard small-blocks? Could be a while before she's sea worthy, any thoughts on what I might expect power-wise compared to the old '79 Ski Supreme w/350ci I skied behind back in the day? This boat's very solid structurally, just needs new upholstery and a few minor blemishes repaired. We'll see about the engine...probably needs to be rebuilt. Either way, this boat will be like new again someday.

not run in 15 years, what a shame. however, the engine looks pretty good with minimal rust. that interior is not that bad, at least it is not torn. maybe it will clean up pretty well. nice ride. good luck.

Would be worth trying to see if the engine will run. 1100 hrs is not too bad. Will need the fuel system cleaned though.

very, very nice! CONGRATS!
I considered a 440 as well before I got my 78...
