Sorry just blowing off some steam, Dying to go boating and life is getting in the way here.
I do have a set as you put it as well but its time to just say screw it after January 1 and fix the damn boat~!
I know it may cost more, but why not bring the boat to Stotler and let him do it. You'll probably be boating a lot sooner too. You said it is a simple fix?

If we put the boat in this weekend (it's on the trailer) you're more than welcome to go with us. That is, if you don't mind riding in a Cig....

I HAD CROWER STEEL ROCKERS ON MY 540.........I swithched to jesel from those, the geometry of a 302 and a bbc are totally different, the jesel is exspensive but there is a reason every big blower motor company uses them

Hey Jay,

dont worry, we'll get it fixed, and if not, the Pantera WILL be complete soon, you can always throttle for me, Outboards dont have rocker arms to break

Is this guy jay for real?
Is he the one that was going to help Thad Alan make the best Apache yet?
Did anyone take a look at his old boat? WOW
I dont think you should be working on anything Jay.
Those motors that are in that boat are tired. (very tired)
Re rig boat with new power. I have seen it.

You know, the whole Thad thing gets laughed at but look at the facts- He put his money where his mouth was- he spent serious coin on the project. For every Thad Allen, there are 100 guys whos "next big thing" never gets past paper.

He made the mistake of thinking he could talk up his project the same way Reggie and some of the other big-name guys do. That and not looking into the whole Apache name thing a little better.

The whole Lamborghini/chase thing was a bit bizarre though.

I for one would have liked to have seen the project succeed.



P.S. Ambushing first-post trolls are nutless pole smokers. Got something to say- put your name on it.
