Just out of curiosity, why didn't you go with the original paint scheme? Not that it was anything special, but it might have been cool to go retro.
If you need some video of it running back in day, let me know. I've got a few from 84.

Good point,, but just run 3 outboards. Back in the day another local Michigan guy Mike Novik owner of the P-555 First -A-Fence tried to run 4 on his 32' Skater. When he removed the fourth outboard she ran much better.

Hey Smokey,
I didnt paint it, I think retro will be cool, Thinking of going back to the origional paint scheme and perhaps sticker it up
I would love to get a copy of the video
Hey T2X,
I bought it without motors, being new to egg beaters, Im looking for advice on what to do here....the gill brackets seem pretty cool...I am guessing they must act like standoff boxes on an IO....also trying to keep the project affordable

Forget about the four engines since two in the tunnel doesn't let the air escape out the back, and as a result you will hardly pick up any performance over three engines (just a LOT more headaches, again IMHO).
Best of luck with your project, and have a lot of fun with it!
