Bullit actually went back to the guy he bought it from. I think that guy might be on to something . . . sell your boat cheap to some guy (one of us lol) . . . . let them do all the grunt work . . . then buy it back couple years later :D

^^^Smart man. I'm already back in project mode, really just fixing broken stuff. No new stuff for me, well, besides a new rebuild on an engine.

Actually, if you count them all up, probably #4 or #5 at this point. (If you count #1&2 initial "brand new builds")
Technically "rebuild" #3 at 15-20hrs if you are not counting my original builds.
It's getting old.....

Yea that's rough man that has to be getting expensive. I'm hoping my sacrafice of mph and putting Efi 575 sci in it with only 575 ish a side it will prolly only go 72 but hoping it will stay together lol I'd rather go 72 every weekend than foot the bill at the repair shop lol

I think she'll run a bit better than 72. I am thinking mid 70s . The 575sci is a good engine. Should run comparable to a custom built set of 600s. A a dyers 871 conversion will wake them up too, which is also offers some reliability as well.
