Ha! I've got the NA motor. That blower motor is to much for my old sled! That thing was born to run in a race boat!

I'm going to stop by the shop tomorrow and take some photos of the 525 out of the boat (Its already out) and the empty bilge.

We sent the pan out to get modified (for the notch) today and the exhaust left yesterday to get "dry-piped" (the CMIs are going to be converted to dry all the way out). The drive is already at Imco for a refresh. Can't wait!

The 565 should be going in early next week and hopefully I'll be testing either next weekend or the weekend after. Whooma!

Albert, you know how bad I wish I had Casper on board when we were running next to that Baja!!!

It was a little roll and lots of prop wash. Once we got out on our own, I basically buried the throttles the whole way. We did get some good air time, but the copter missed it. I guess the Baja guys have some video. I'll have to bug him to put it on youtube.

Even so,

Albert is a hell of a guy, and builds a hell of a motor, have fun with it.

Couldn't agree more with each of those statements. Albert is the man! And I'm dying to get that motor in the boat!

That Pacific ocean water is awesome when you get 3 ft'rs at 12 seconds apart. You gotta get to Miami and have Joe take you for a ride in the Atlantic in gnarley white capped 4-5's and you'll have a whole new appriciation for your boat. What the heck am I doing in the Pantera section again
