Finally Home with the Formula

Here are a couple of pics of the new boat. Time to start cleaning and making the replacement parts list. First will be the fenders on the trailer...

Yes, it was repainted. It has some minor scratches but nothing out of the ordinary for an 85 model boat.

Hey, those valve covers look familiar
These started out as 454/420 hp's but went to @ 540 each.
I will be supercharging these next year along with 2" Imco shorty's.

Re: Finally Home with the Formula

Congrats, nice ride. MIght consider losing the swim platform as that kinda dates the boat....just a suggestion.

Have fun with her.....
