How did you get on with your visit to the Gentry containers???? Did you get some origional Gentry turbo motors???? Looks like your fitting Y pipes, were they origional spec or are you using them just to free up some space with a triple installation???

Any progress with Smokin Joe? Do you know what colour scheme is going to be used?

Team Archer

Well as far as the containers go the guys talking about them don't own them and the family that does wants to wait till spring to open the containers long story. So the plan at this time is to build three brand new motors using original Gentry parts from Carson Brumett exhaust and intercoolers ect. the rest we will build in house. and yes the boat ran with Y pipes originally those are the original holes. As far as Joe goes we have been playing with it. Runs good Very heavy! As far as paint we are looking to keep the name and design but change the colors. Something more modern.

Team Archer

We are still planning to convert Joe to a twin staggered boat and loose 4000 LBS of ##it
