I am guessing that the 1700's Eikerts are not too reliable? What a shame for such a great looking boat to sit on the trailer. Didn't Ballistic have a lot issues with those engines as well?

Anytime you go with an exotic setup you have to expect issues. Its the nature of the beast.

Ballistic used a similar motor. I saw a picture where he ditched the centrifical (i think thats what they were) and now has whipple 5.0s on. I had read somewhere he was having blower belt issues, not sure which blowers were giving the issues. Hopefully he will get it worked out soon.

I heard he is building another boat, but I haven't heard any details. I'm sure it will be nice.

He seems to have his best luck with already built boats that have been proven. How many Powerboat articles ccan you have written about boats that have yet to prove their worth?

I think Superman meant Proven hulls Steve. This being an unproven hull, it does raise some eye brows.
But as you and know Steve, this hull 'design' has been proven over seas. |
