They are very much still in business. As a matter of fact, Art Whipple, the founder is now in charge of the marine side of things. Very knowledgeable and easy to deal with. I just talked with him a few weeks back to get a replacement side mont charger for a customer of mine.

Smitty, got any side shots of the Whipples installed? I'm worried about clearing the Dana exhaust.

I think I would be more worried about the engine hatch ram. I friend of mine put the side whipples on 454 in a 302 and had to remove the ram. Yours might clear or worse case, have to be relocated.

I'll see if I have any side shots. I just moved my ram forward to the seat bulk head. It works fine.

What you will need to do next is save $10,000 for new Outdrives. I have many friends that are running whipples and love them but they have problems keeping XR's together so I know Bravo 1's won't last....

His are only 454 mags. I think the drives will hold up, you just have to be MORE careful at takeoff and airing it out.

That doesn't sound like much fun either. I will try to controll myself.
