kr1276 - thanks - know your boat as well - you got the two 496 motors shipped in, right?

nice looking boat - were you at Gasparilla last weekend - Mike and I thought that we saw you, but couldn't remember if you had a radar arch or not...

definitely need to hook-up on the h2o sometime soon...

That was mine waitng on the engines being shipped in...and it does have an arch on it. I had it made by the guy who builds all the arches for Wellcraft in Bradenton. He came to my house 3 times to make sure he got it right. I then had a guy from Palm Harbor do the bimini and tie it in to the arch with the same track they use on the Sea Rays. It has made our boat so much more functional than before. We like to take weekend trips to South Seas,Longboat,Venice,Marco etc... We did not take our boat to Gasparilla as my wife is in the all female Krewe "Bonney-Read" so we were in the parade and hosted the Krewe Friday Night at our house which was about 70 people. We also had a house on Bayshore for a private party before/during/after the parade. Were you on one of the Eliminators with Mike?

kr1276 - went with Mike, but we took the 29 SeaRay - didn't want to beat up an Eliminator... one helluva party though...

Yo dirt, nice looking rig man. I'll have to post the pictures of my 509 as soon as I can.

the motor is sitting at the dyno shop waiting in line right now. I was out there yesterday to put a few finishing touches on it. It's a black block, alumunim top end (heads and intake), red powder coated v covers, black Gil manis with 6" stainless risers, blue MSD 8mm plug wires, plus I am going to paint the water pump red and dress up the coolng set ups(not that you can see it the the Outlaw when it is installed, but ya know how it is). What power did you make with your motor. Mine sounds very similiar aside form the fact I have Holley 850 Double pumper sitting on top.

Tank, any news? I may not be able to respond to your response becasue I am running short on time again. I'm in the damn library in Bluffton again, traveling agian and I have to stay here tonight. So , this library has been my OSO headquarters....3 times in the last month or so. However, just bought a laptop and will be hooked up soon. Later boys, keep the economy rolling with your insane spending....I know I will!! :D
