A friend of mine here in Fort Lauderdale is helping me with the motors, or should I say I'm helping him. I'm shooting for 650-700 hp a side. I agree, boats a blast...BUT...sucks the money like there's no tomorrow.

The acronym B.O.A.T. (Break Out Another Thousand) is soooooo true!

I will post some pictures tonight. I will get more of the bilge this weekend. I built my own race hatches, new motors, painted the bilge black, l.e.d lights, and welded up tails to make them dry pipes. This year is the cabin interior and I built a drive gaurd for the trailer

What did you use for LED's and how/where did you mount them? I want to put some in also.

They are getting a freshen up new set of Dart aluminum heads little port and polish, new exhaust, going through the blowers and the injection. Power will be between 750-800hp. They are 540's with 6-71 blowers so they will only run 3-4 psi of boost so a milder set up. I am limited by the XR drives. I am excited to get it done. By the way great job on your boat I have been following your progress along the way.

Alittle bit from my project. I used silicone to attach the L.e.ds. I put them on the inside flat part of the upper deck and turned the led in its housing to shine on the engine. I will find out where i got them from and let you know.
