Where'd you get the dash molds? Super nice.

Thanks Tank!! Glass Dave makes them, the port side is a new addition to his molds! I asked him to make that one so we could have a GPS on both sides.

i made a whole set of molds specifically to update pre 99 Guns. Dash caps, hatch, seat backs, etc to emulate like 08 and newer. Dave at XT builds the bolsters as well. This one on Marks boat was actually a combo of the bottom half of one mold and the top of the other, He wanted a GPS riser on both sides, his was a custom hybrid dash that does the trick :cool:

And the grass?

This is a hybrid. This is a cross, ah, of Bluegrass, Kentucky Bluegrass, Featherbed Bent, and Northern California Sensemilia. The amazing stuff about this is, that you can play 36 holes on it in the afternoon, take it home and just get stoned to the bejeezus-belt that night on this stuff.

Grass picture was taken in Florida lol pretty sure dave has white powder up there....

I can see grass, but it sure ain't green. Is it boating season yet?

Grass? Still 2 feet of snow up here. Love the update threads, help make the down tom more bearable. Nice work

How is everyone doing the dash panels? If it's a carbon dash how are you etching/ painting the lettering in for the toggles? Really small fine spray mask or how???

ZP must have a Chinese rice writer hidden in his shed!

So he's using that flat bottom as his mold. Dave your giving up your secrets!!!! Lol:drink:

anyone wondering this new hatch gives about seven inches of useful height above the side rails. Thanks for posting pics Mark . . . . and yes this new hatch will be known as the "Pimp" model lol

That looks phenomenal. Really updates the look of the interior.

Just went through all 30 pages of this thread! Absolutely amazing! Beautiful boat, amazing attention to detail, and that new dash is gorgeous!
Great work man!

Just about ready for water testing! New power, new dash layout, new wiring, new exhaust etc. etc. Thanks to everyone that helped out! We overheated the engines from plugged sea strainers and a faulty warning system. Just went through a complete rebuild of everything!

worth the long wait!!! now go have fun!

Finally got around to installing the new stereo. Went with Mtx Marine Amps, 12" Mtx Subs and 6) Wet Sounds 6.5" Led Speakers. Sounds RIDICULOUS with heavy deep bottom end BASS and Crystal Clear Highs!!! The iPhone/Bluetooth connection with the Fusion radio works flawlessly!

Wet sounds definitely puts JL to bed!

Looks amazing! Nice job

Test run from on plane to about 60mph or so. Water psi is getting to high with the new rebuilt sea pumps.. Going to have to work on the water pickups a little but its running great!! Be sure to adjust the video quality to HD.

this is an awesome thread.

Nice job, boat is awesome, congrats.

Water psi is perfect now, Looks like she is dialed back in! Little start up action

Gawd dayum that sounds healthy!! Love dry exhaust.

On the new engines, what's your setup to squeeze 1000hp out of 8-71s?

Same as before little more boost. When I get some good blowers I will make 1400hp! The old set-up was 975hp at 6500rpm (925@6000). Didn't need much to hit 1000hp

1400 hp? Would like to hear more. What kind of fuel are you running, and what do you plan to run @ 1400? (And with what blowers?)

I'm impressed, and would like to see what mph you're running when you have it all dialed in.

Wish your engine guy wasn't so far away.....

93 Octane pump gas. Next project will be number 6's!

How you looking frick? Will we be seeing some vide of your boat running soon?

400 hp with a blower upgrade and 1400hp on pump gas.

FANTASTIC!!!

LMAO!

It would be totally different engines and efi. 1400-1500 on pump gas is nothing new. Keep buildung your boat anchor engines... You and mild dont have a phucking clue.
