Audiofan i have been following yor threads i sure hope it doesnt end up needing as much work as yours did. However i am real excited to dig into this and see exactly what i am in for. Will post pics of it without interior soon .Anyone have any thoughts on this with a fairing instead of the windshield? I have to replace it anyway ,so im trying to get some ideas . I guess i need to play with photoshop

My boat is Smaller and slower than yours
You need to get the bow lifted higher. You would not belive how much water will get stuck in their.

Good luck

10K without the intercooler as listed in ad. I need a few more runs on it to get it tuned in for you.

This thing will make that boat a rocketship.

You pay shipping both ways and send me your core.

Super deal. I need the cash flow. Trying to build a boat dock.
