Cool project. Those are great looking boats. That PCM fuse cover looks NOS.

Might even be a good "warm water" boat
 Looks like the mufflers are a little long to hook up to those reducers on the risers. It looks like the reducers and maybe the whole engine came from a Supra. At least that would be a lefty in a boat that came with a lefty Like you mentioned elsewhere, it looks like the engine box will be a bit of a challenge. Nothing you can't handle for sure I've got a 454 PCM pan with a bung welded on the side of the pan for the same reason (hooking up a drain hose) and the original drain plug is tack welded shut.

Still planning to get back to the Mastercraft big block swap, but I am in the middle of stuffing a 454 into an Advance... mostly just because we can. I’m curious how the boat performs and skis with the big block- might be a viable cold water boat for us? We have the pan clearing the hull now with just the normal plumbing (exhaust/cooling/fuel) left to do. Might get a water test in this year if the stars align.

It must be time for an update on this project Carnac here tells me that he seems to think that this Mastercraft has mysteriously turned into an American Skier Advance  How's that oil pan drain hose clearance issue treating you? |

Haven’t ruled out another project but everyone has a short memory over there... haven’t seen any activity in quite a while.

Not the trailer that came with the boat, sadly... just the best pic I have of the boat.

Thanks. We actually picked up our new club boat a week ago... an 85 S&S in all original shape- nicer than we need but a great value and will serve us well. The plan is to swap in a big block next off season.

Bruce, I think it’s a young guns boat.. there is no seat at all looks like a squat or on knees stance to drive, as for Gary S wind in your face that’s ok ish, he not saying about picking the flies off your teeth. Agree it’s a cool boat add a tower of power to become the cats whiskers on any lake, I’m not ready to go to a Master on the dark side.

Not an exact match but has stars and is Mastercraft with a Gary S view on windshields, doubt it will sell over here.

That would be surprising since the change to composite happened many years before the Tristar (or Prostar) were introduced (mid year 83 change on the Skier aka Stars & Stripes).
