I have to figure something out for the vent openings to let air in but cut the noise for the back seat. In the front bolsters it's not bad.

I remember a few years back running over to Catalina and back during the SCOPE poker run in a Tiger with Teague 1000's and 6's. Had the Jeg style scoops with open intakes (obviously). I was in the rear starboard side, running basically wide open all the way there and back. My left ear rang for two days after!

Totally worth it though!

I'm really excited for our trip saturday. We got stuff for us and the kids ready to go. Life Jackets. Kool Aid - purple - so spills will blend in and cheetoos - I heard the baked ones don't stain... $20 bucks for gas, a six pack and the porta potty!!! I forget anything? I got a hair cut so my mullet doesn't get sucked in. See you saturday - I'll try and get the kids and Stef moving early.

Beautiful boat. Three years is a long time when you are working on a project, but IMO from what I see it's definately worth it. Great work. You have to grin from ear to ear each time you get in that beauty!!

Make sure the kids have sharp edged toys to play with and I think the orange cheese curls will match the blue carpet better.

See ya saturday

I also spend time on the details of the oiling system and don't run the motors real lean.

Awesome. I can't run my engines like that. The oil gets too hot. What oil coolers are you using? Do you have a dedicated water pump for your oil cooler? What about your Transmission Cooler?
