This 1978 Sanger Jet Boat Is A Blown Big Block Chevy Powered Beauty!

While we have surely heard the term “trailer queen” used to describe cars and trucks before this is the first boat that may fit the title and unlike cars and trucks, we’re not sure we care. What you are looking at is an immaculate and kind of amazing 1978 Sanger that is powered by a blown big block Chevy engine. The interior is cool, the paint is spectacular, and the seller admits that the boat spends most of its time on the trailer being shuttled to and from shows. We’re guessing hot rod shows because it doesn’t seem like there would be enough boat shows to keep someone on the trail like that.

We’re guessing that the boat guys are sickened by the idea of something like this living on a trailer instead of throwing water at full song across a lake but hey, maybe this is a chance to score a boat that has been cared for, pampered, and loved on instead of beaten to death in the water. That’s the rose colored glasses view for sure, but we’ll take it.

The engine has a Dyer blower on it, runs iron 990 heads, and it has a Berkeley pump for making it all zip across the water. Perhaps our favorite part is the seating arrangement inside the boat. It has this cool wrap around “cocktail” style seating which has the driver in a bucket style seat and everyone else packed together on a bench. Oh, did we mention the Weber carbs on top of the engine?

We don’t speak much boat around here but we do speak cool and this thing seems like it punches all the right buttons to be considered 100% BangShift approved. Agree?

    Warden walked by, saw me looking at the eBay ad. “Uh, no,” was all she said. “But hon, it’s your favorite color.”

    Sanger is one of the reasons you should speak more boat around here. Nice stuff.
