Now if you are talking about the 302 then when is hell freezing over again?

Pull the Bird from the Nest last weekend. Not sure why......I have to finish the SunSeeker first. I guess so we can do the little stuff and move forward so it is ready for Havasu. I feel a lot better about the boat now that the Formula hull manufacturing defect has been corrected on my boat, but I worry about other folks.

I guess I missed the discussion on this topic. Can you elaborate or provide a link to another thread? Thanks.

Is this an increase in horsepower for you or was it a rebuild? Looks great!

There has been no discussion on the board about the defect. What I will say is that of the 5 people I know in SCOPE with 382 hulls, all 5 boats had the same problem (each is a different year)!

Regarding the motors, its a total rebuild. I put the Whipples on in 2005-ish (about 150 hours ago).

Jon.....its a "goal". We probably won't do the poker run yet. Lots of other things to do with SCOPE this year. We'll probably do the Mead trip at least! Already booked for the spring fling!
