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

^^^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.....

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.
