Very nicely done Shoregasm! When's it going up for sale?

Hey Chris,
Hows your project going? Did you get the headers to fit? I was killing myself making my tail pipes then I caved and hauled the boat to IMCO, 6 hours later, a perfect fit.

Lets see some pics!

I think I have a problem. I told one of my buddies today that I wish my bank acount would run dry so I would have an excuse not to buy anymore parts.

Thanks buddy.

I'm at about 1/2 the work you did so I'm getting to know the feeling. Its a bit overwelming at times. I bet its a really good feeling running it after all that work.

Actually, i don't know yet.....It is a pretty fast boat for some strange reason....It sat in a rack for about 5 years prior to me buying it and I think that had something to do with it....I have 675SC's/ 700HP....with the 3's that I had on there previous the boat ran in high 80's consistently. Saw 93 twice in the right conditions...but that has alot to do with the X dim on this boat.....we raised drives three times to get that...I'm at 1 1/2" now.......and before anyone claims "bull****".....its verfiyable in many many places...more on that later if interested...

However, as of today, the drives (now 3A's) are back off and the motors are coming out this weekend....A couple things that need to be completed correctly with the drive changes.....so a few more weeks and I will know where she's at now....I switched gear ratio again, so I'm hoping to pick up a little more acceleration now as well.

It had 454's and trs's when I first bought it years ago...what a large amount of cash ago that was !!!
