That is some impressive work done right there! Especially in only a months' time.

Building some 540s w/ aluminum heads, putting my blowers on them. Probably going to be around 800-850 if I were to guess. Not looking to make crazy power just yet. Over next down season I’d like to build a nice set of EFI motors. But we’ll see.

Also forgot to mention after cutting the holes for the drives we thought it would be stupid not to blueprint the last 5-6ft of the bottom. And good thing we did bc it had a pretty bad “hook”. Don’t have a ton of pictures of that but here she is blocked up.

Farmer Jon did it first but I also put in a gradual "hook" in the last foot of the boat and it helped quite a bit with hop.

I’m sure that helps with straight bottom but now that I have about an 11” notch it may act differently.
