I would order a new one and sell my existing one. I try not to get attached to stuff, enjoy it and pass it on. Plus the idea of glass and cutting on this beautiful boat would be hard to do. My approach is that with two moderate motors, you could achieve similar performance to one fire breathing beast. I have also considered moving to the 28' for this reason as well.

Turbojack:We went with the 2" shorty because we lowered the motor.Good question!
Uncle Toys:Wec will be launching on March 25.The dealer was pretty cool as he wrote a contract saying he would pay us $100/day after that date if the boat wasn't ready. Not a lot of money compared to the total cost of the boat but we thought it was pretty cool of him to stand behind his shop like that.
It is nice to hear more conversation on this board.

Can not believe dealer would write that into contract. When you go & get boat wet I would make sure boat is right before you take it. Everyone is in hurry to get everything right before you take off. After that it is not as inportant to them to get it right. I am saying this in my general dealing. When I got my boat eliminator & dealer were GREAT. Kind of wish I had motor lower in boat so I could have a flater engine cover.
New motor & new procharger Update
Did not get motor dynoed. Too many gremlins kept me from having it ready wed. Talked to dyno guy & he said could not do next week but week after. In taking to Mike at procharger I told him I was going to put on dyno to get jetting right before putting in boat. He said to make sure super rich on dyno because he found putting in boat makes in leaner. I do not under stand totally but in taking to engine builder he backed up that statment. Anyone that can give me a better undestanding on that Im listening. The way I see if if on dyno motor is under load & in boat under load so jetting should be close. but?? With this lattest info & having to wait on dyno I guess I am going to put motor in boat this weekend. Talked to Dan @ CMI & he is working on header tails & I told him to ship second day air. So may be next weekend. Temp was aprox 82 today & can not wait to get on water

Thanks for the help. Sure is making things easier when someone else has been there.

26 DAYTONA
ELIMI, I THINK IT HAS APPROXIMATELY A 1000 HP... IT HAS A TEAGUE PLATINUM UPPER AND A IMCO POLISHED LOWER. THE BOAT HAS NOT BEEN IN THE WATER, BUT IT SHOULD RUN 120+ MPH... NOT SURE ON THE PRICE, THIS BOAT IS SOLD SO THERE WAS NOT A BOAT SHOW PRICE..IF I HAD TO GUESS ABOUT 100K.
