South Carolina?

So you're not in Grand Haven any more?

Where is the boat?

Will you keep it?

I WANT A RIDE!

All good things take time and unfortunately the engines needed a bunch of upgrades and sorting out . Other things still need addressed with the fuel delivery in the boat. It's better to do it right, like Steve did then throw away a bunch of LONG hours and money out the window just to do it all over again. The engines still have a ton of potential , seeing how they made just under 1000 HP with old 850 Holley carbs!! She's gonna be bad azz!

I'm very sad to hear this. I was so looking forward to seeing you guys in Ohio this year for the weiner roast. But when that didn't happen I was still hoping you would get the engine back in time to run the boat this year.

Why does it take so long to build a pair of engines, looks like over a year to me. That would make me want to sell my boat too!!! Hope Steve can get the passion back!

"All good things take time " In this case Dean let's not confuse taking time to do it right, and taking your time.
