Total Effort is going against this project, but it's still a few months out...

Schue, nice to see this project coming along. When I visted the factory after test driving my 36 in April, I saw the wood workers finishing up the molds on this boat...just prior I got a chance to see the red 36 speedster Bob had ( which I fell in love with- the detailng was insane and the TCM motors made me decide what my next motors would be...) - so I really had an appreciation of what the 28 was going to shape up to be.

I'm looking forward to seeing this fnished product....has the power been decided for this one?

oh and by the way, I am looking for an easy way to do Desert Storm again next year -and would be happy to demo a 36, or 28 speedster at DS 09

I believe this first one is getting Merc 700s...but the design will take 1075's....
DS next year would be a great time to run your new motors... We could pick it up on our way back from Daytona in Feb...
Sure do enjoy your exploits/write-ups on running your Coupe back there...
