Default I opened Pandora's box

Well after wiping out a trans at the Rendezvous last year I figured why not check the drives since the engines were out. Well that led to new drives since TRS are no longer made, since I had the box open a little why not open it some more. I figured a couple of new oil pumps and I was good to go. Then I find someone I know was selling some PRO1 CNC heads so down a new rabbit hole. At this point I built two new engines, replaced my drives, transmissions, and now since I'm in this deep I figured with the new heads, standard deck blocks, (Original were tall deck) and new position for pipes I might as well put a transom in rather than patch it. Now I know why I got out of this hobby years ago, I can't seem to leave well enough alone.

I have been so busy with other stuff I haven’t had time to get them together. Hopefully I will get some together and post. Your new boat is sick, can’t wait to see how it runs.

Thanks brother.

Good luck on your updates. Should be cool when you're done. You going to be done in time for June run?

No, hopefully be done by August. I built a new building to keep it in and just finished that this week. Electric and heat to go and back on the boat.

Thanks Tank, it was long overdue. Hopefully now I can get back on the boat. I will try to get some pictures in a couple of weeks.
