Who knows ?
Do you know Nuri Subuncu ? ( Chairman of the Board / Turkish Express ?)
Yes, I know Nuri. He was the first President of the Rochester Offshore Powerboat Association - which was formed in his conference room. (I was there too.) In fact at the time of the race, I was dating his secretary. She now lives in North Carolina and we still keep in touch. As for the Chairman of the Board, sadly, she sat outside for many years and ended up getting sold as a stripped hulk.

I hope Nuri is doing well .

Today I shipped the Stellings to Stainless Marine . I'd like to mate Y pipes with Gen III headers so Jerry is going to jig them up and see if it is feasible , if not I'll go back to the 4 outlet exhaust with Gen III.
I don't want to run old unreliable stuff , so the Stellings are definitely out .
Right now everyday is like Christmas with parts coming in from all over . I'd like to dyno the motors within the next two weeks then get them dressed for install .

Couple of feet of snow , state is shut down and I'm here rummaging through boat junk in the dungeon and almost twenty years of dust .
Lucky thing I got out , I'd have a breakdown if I was stuck in the house.
I'm going through all this stuff to see what I'm going to use , what needs to be rebuilt and what needs to be discarded .

Jason @ Performance Marine has informed me my # V gimbal rebuilds are done .
Thank You guys ! You've been great.
I think I'm going to be slowing down on this project because the crystal ball said there is another boat in my future .
I love this boat and it will get finished , however I'm now in love with two gals and in need of instant gratification .
One 60 degree day is all it took .
