This is a pleasure boat. 110 mph is enough for what I want to do. The Speedmaster are really only good on race boats. Really hard to not have reverse or neutral for that matter on a 24' boat.

But this is your hot rod boat! It doesnt need all that... you still have to mix the fuel. You should take out the back seat and just but a couple nitrous bottles and a cooler!!!

Red base coat paint today. The color is much different with clear and in the sun. Basecoat looks flat and very dark without clear coat. More taping for the next color hopefully soon. The setback plates are painted to match.

Sharp looking boat, just one more to add to your long list of "chain smokers".

Clear coated and buffed. Windshield painted Mercury black to match the outboards. Powerheads are being rebuilt and the interior should be done very soon. Next is to install the gauges, trim indicators, the all new interior (not recovered but all new very modern).
