Are those the 270hp or 320hp motors? The duoprops will probably do wonders for getting her up on plane. You sure have to let us know how she runs. I wonder if there will be enough weight taken off the stern to consider getting rid of the hook at the end of the hull?

They are the 320hp.

Its the older (non-Fastech's) that were able to run big blocks. And by the way the boat looks great. Of course I'm a little bit partial to anything with Blaze graghics on it.

I'm not sure what I will do with the rest of the boat, but the two different gray/silvers and the red match my motors and drives well. The hull will stay white till I decide what I want. I am painting the raised portion of the bow with the same paint I did the K-planes with though.

Few more pics. Used spray foam so I had something easy to shape. Worked very well. The fairing is 3 1/2 inches lower in the front than the glass was, but I kept the same height on both sides until just past where the grab bars/supports mount. This way I could reuse all those pieces without any additional work.

The fairing took me more time than all the rest of the boat combined!

Three layers of glass later and a coat of primer and this is what I ended up with. I didnt have the heart or the energy to take any pics of this step, which happened to take over a month for me to complete.
