Def keeping my boat. I can't stand the new emblem. I never had a problem with the fountain circle till it was matched with the baja emblem. I think it looks tacky.

How tough of a job was that? And about how much did it cost you? If you mind me asking. (PM would work if you want)

I cannot wait

turns out I can wait.. but I'm gettin reeel close I have an hour of breakin on both engines, the dash is in with a bit more wiring to go and I just got done prepping the rings for the exhaust. I ended up with comp cams (they answered their phone) roller rockers springs etc.. I ported the peanut heads simply for the challange. and the 496 takeoffs. some guy Moroso stopped by because Harland Sharp did earlier.. all American, All purchased local... all accomplished by yours truley.. with a litttle help from my friends.

I think I just uploaded a pic of stan, I will post further pics sooner than later they both are in fact in I just have not been taking pics

I will see you in port austin at the end of july, and holland in a week or so

Just noticed the thread. No new boats in the works for me. Mine still looks like new, I have my own building now and no longer have to pay for storage. This spring I upgraded to a roller cam from RMbuilder and gained 5MPH, plus the boat just runs better, quicker, idles better. This winter my neighbor and I are installing a custom ram air system. I would like to get a -3 box, -2 shorty or maybe just have the transum recut 3 inches higher.
