those strakes look nice and sharp. how did you flip it?

rig it with 700 horse velvet drive and a #3 ssm. Actually i dont think the engine bay in these boats even has enough room for anything but merctrans or bravo conversion

I flipped it with a backhoe and a bunch of old foam dock floats.. Now the trick is going to be flipping it back over without messing up the paint...



It's going to be rigged with a standard Bravo for now 'till I start blowing up drives..

Working on piecing an engine together but am torn between a supercharged 454 or a big cid n/a engine to start off with..

More Cubes... A nice 540 would push that thing really nice. Easier on drives as well.

Finally got some more work done on 'er ...

Surprisingly, the transom is SOLID ! Soo instead of tearing it all out I decided to plug and re-cut it..

I made plugs for the multitude of exhaust holes and glassed them in...






I cut the inner transom on a 45 then made a plug that matched





Still have a bit to do but it's getting there !

...........I also got some of the interior mocked up ...
I got a rear seat and hatch from a Superboat.
Bolsters from a Carrera...
Some of it needs to be recovered but it's a start...






I also picked up a Dart Big M tall deck block...
Gonna be a 555 to start out with !
