I'm building a 18 ft. Thunderbolt boat with a 390 ford engine. I'm looking for custom hoses for the water cooled EX
The engine is exposed and I want to dress it up. Looked at the Hose Candy site but don't see what I'm looking for.

I'm not much of a boat guy, but I can tell you that you should stick to rubber hoses, or silicone if you want to dress up the engine bay a bit (you can get them in different colors). Any braided hoses will rust or corrode if you have a salt water boat. Any aluminum dress up items or hose connectors will not last on a salt water environment either. Stick with silicone or rubber hoses and stainless hose clamps.
