I will start a build thread but really not much needs done, a newer stereo (modern music sources rather than the ancient cassette player)
Freshen up the trim, add a ski pylon, clean up and paint the trailer.
Buy some ski equipment...
The rest will be a collection of fun on the water.

I thought you were Australian? That thing needs a cage.
Naah, if it can't bite you where's the fun?
We got it wet today at Lake St Marys
Everything works great, Charlie approves
Cheesie grins all around
Why are you choking Charlie???
"When I say grin, you have better damn well grin." 
Boats have the same effect on me. Floating a boat puts a grin on my mug.
When we took it out we could see gases blowing out from the left bank head gasket from the rear when the engine was running.
We pulled the original heads off the engine after the boat trip and found they had been modified by a butcher to say the least. Each chamber had cracks between the valves and the intake was butchered as well. Time to fix it all.
New built aluminum heads, intake and new ARP head-bolts acquired. This goes back together after the holiday break, no rush until Spring at this point but it's good to be on track.
That's a lot of engine for a fairly small boat. I bet it is a blast on the water.
Not sure how I missed this the first time around, but it obviously has my seal of approval.
Awesome sauce!!!
Nice!

This is pretty much my sentiment.
Much want.
So did anyone else zoom in on the text across the front of that motor? Seems appropriate for such a berklying fast boast
LOL..
The script on the engine says "BERKELEY"
In reply to OHSCrifle:
That Berkeley is the brand of the Jet and Marine kit for the 460.

Well, it couldn't be a more appropriate front cover!!!

for obvious reasons.
We have had the 460 out, rebuilt it including aluminum heads, more cam, roller rockers and more, we are about to pick it up again, it shouldn't take much to get it back in the boat and us on the water, finally
I expect video of the next trip. 
About to be put back together, the freshened 460 with new heads, cam, pushrods and more, not crazy power just an upgrade, after all the hull is a 78 or nearly 40 years old and it did 65 mph on the hurt engine
You're going fuel injected right?
