The bottom pic is the imco exhaust manifolds. They came from imco black. We removed the paint and polished them. They look ten times better!
We're hoping to be on the water testing this coming Sunday. I'll keep you posted. C'mon 90!

Looks awesome! You have to be pumped. I took the liberty of running some speed calculations based on those props. If those engines can approach 6000 rpm, and at a conservative 15% slip, those speeds are impressive!! Please keep us posted!

Nick, are those IMCO drives standard length or a little shorter? BTW, good idea to run those Pyrometers!

I believe the drives are standard and I don't know what plyometers are. Please educate.
