It's complicated

The motors are a few weeks out. The trailer is a few weeks out. The paint booth is a few weeks out. We have a dummy LSA there to fabricate motor mounts. Mike is drilling cutting and "pre rigging" the hull now.

I have lots of photos on the office computer and my iPad. I just can't post photos with the iPad which I use at home. If someone knows how to post photos with an iPad I can put some up,

Anyway I'm headed up next week to lay out the dash. I will try to start a build thread after that.

Yes I am using ASD 7Ms like Louie's 338.

I am past ready to get this puppy up to LOTO and terrorize the locals

That's a lot more "Aesthetic" than what I'm getting but right now they could paint them pink and I would be happy as long as they were ready.

This is the ugly primer brown LSA we are using to pre rig while They build the actual LSAs.

It looks lost in the motor compartment compared to a BBC.

Look at all that ROOM!

Speaking out loud here, your boat should be light. I think your engines, being all Aluminum, are around 600-650 lbs and the Transmissions I got on order, new Aluminum Velvet Drive's, are only 73 lbs each. I know what Louie's boat weigh'd and you could be as much as 800-1,000 lbs lighter with the power package. You'll love the Silver your drives are painted.

I spoke with Al at the show. He said they were putting the cranks in them and then off to paint (didn't think to ask the color) and then off to DYNO!!

The pic I took was in the Crusaider booth, I kept looking for someone there I could ask pricing on but they were all huddled in their tower.
