I made some pretty good progress over the holiday. I got my parts back from the carbon fiber guy and got all of the drive together. I also polished the headers since they were a natural finish. I am waiting on my oil filter set up from Teague and a few hoses. The next step will be to put it in the boat.

Extremely nice looking motor.

Looking forward to hearing about how the boat runs now.

I finally installed the motor last sunday. I hope to spend some of the holiday weekend working on some of the rigging. I need to have exhaust pipes made. Who did some of you guys use? CMI, Imco, Teague? Sorry for the crappy pictures, I was in a hurry

Here are a few more pics of the progress. I have all of the fuel plumed along with the water on the starboard side. I had to fabricate an aluminum bracket to mount the oil cooler in front of the motor. It is a tight fit and is offset to keep the water hoses inside the stringer. I will polish the bracket when everything fits correctly. Imco sent me some collectors for the headers so I can fabricate the exhaust from PVC. They will take my templates and fab them in stainless 4.5" pipe. I am going to switch out my tips to 4.5" so I can keep the pipes dry all the way to the tip.
Next up, plumb the oil lines and oil filter and fab the templates for the tail pipes.
