Default 292 SR-1 project

1990 292 project that I've been working on for a while now. getting close. hope to splash it next weekend. Still have a bit of wiring and all the upholstery to take care of. Its '08 Formula White, with '08 rubrail and decals. Motors are new Volvo 5.7GXi's with new DP-SM drives. Just waiting on a tie bar and some hardware for the external steering. Heres a couple of pics from before and one recent. Let me know what you think. More pic's to follow.

Nice. Thought it might have been a 292 from the "Show us your Boats" thread.

Hope those 5.7s are enough to push that big boy. I don't think the 292 was ever offered in small blocks, at least I've never seen one.

Interested to see how it performs.

hatch off 07 353, blaze graphics. Will be cut to fit the 292 and the rest of the interior will be made from matching vinyl thru McLeod. Switching in linear actuators to make bolsters powered.

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 REALLY think it looks sharp how you painted the K-planes to match the drives! The Planes look awesome in Silver Metallic!
