Default Spy Photos - New 24' Deck Plug

Here's a few pics of the NEW 24' I/O model deck plug.

We are basically fixing the flaws; smoothing out the non-skid, flattening out the cockpit floor by doing away with the fuel tank access panel, and re-engineering the engine hatch.

The edges of the deck still need to be rounded then the whole thing will be shot with duratec before making the mold etc.

Enjoy!!!

Who says the first one is his???? What about me??? Sure get a little long in the tooth around here and you get pushed out to pasture with maybe a set of oars.

How about a big block from Dregz with an KAAMA drive system (you do remember those don't you?) with the colors of bright yellow deck and bottom and dark blue sides like the old Mark Donohue Cigarettes were...(you do remember Mark Donohue don't you?)

Being an old Corvette and Camaro racer I DO remember Mark Donohue, and this year was the first Monterey Historic weekend I missed in many years, but moving away from the back yard of Laguna Seca has it's price,

Moving to the Puget Sound (next month) has it's Rewards!!
I'm so over the top stoked about this move I can't even tell you if I wanted to.

We can do a 8.5:1 pump gas 598 w Hydraulic Roller, Dart Carb motor that will dyno 725 HP/ 750 Tq without breaking a sweat.

We can do the same motor at 10:1 w a solid roller and have 820 Dyno HP

We have a bunch of other options too.
I'll be in FL in Feb to go for a ride.
Thanks
Evan
