Looks really good!
How many HP does the engine have and what speed are you hoping for?

Hey Pasta, thanks !! Don't really know any of the above, maybe around 500HP and don't know what the speed will be because we don't know what the boat weighs. 70-75 is fast enough for me. When i finish it, I am going to take it to the scales because I know what the trailer weighs.

lol, don't say that !! Let me just make alittle understatement about how little amount of room there is to work in there especially with 4 hydraulic hoses and a hydraulic helm. Here is a pic.....and yes this is before I bundled everything nice and neat

I have fuel, voltmeter, water temp, oil temp, oil pressure, drive trim and the newest addition will be a boost gauge, no room for a speedo, but I am going to build in a gps/chartplotter/depth finder combo when I am finished.
