I'm curious. What are those mercs based off of? Are they a whole merc casting or still a big chev short block with dohc heads and a fancy front cover? Looks badass either way.

Chevy, 9.0 liter - 552 cubes.

Best of all runs on 89 octane.

All I can say is WOW!

Cool. Fully dressed you can't see what they're made of. Boat is coming along great!!!

Very Nice!!

Project X has gone to the paint booth. Made several 'game day' changes

Very sharp! I love how the paint lines narrow through the engine hatch. It really changes the lines of the boat from the overhead view. I can't wait to see the finished project. Congrats!

Is that red the same as the motors?

Engines are Mercury Racing's standard 'Devil Red' primary red in boat is 'Ferrari Red' with lots of shading and fading. Very close though.

7 weeks and counting...

Can't wait to see it!!
