Well I just thought I would make some updates to the progress of the 292. I had some bugs to work out of the ignition and fuel system but I think I have everything licked now. I bought a set of Hydromotive Quad IV props that seem to be working great, I got a top speed so far of 62 mph which is ok I guess for stock 330's. I did pick up a set of 454 mags that I've going to bump up to 420's which I'll install over the winter. I just recieved the new rub rail which I decided to stick with the black instead of white. I'll get some updated pictures once I get the rub rail on. All in all it seem like a great boat but I haven't had much time actually running the boat, 95% of the time so far as been tracking down issues and fixing them.

Nice project, looking good. I think the SR1's are the some of the best looking boats made. Sticking with the black rub rail is a good call IMO, keeps that old school classic look. Some guys have been on me to change mine to white but I like the black better.

I still have it but I'm going to sell it, I don't need two similar boats. I've got to pull the 427 out of it and put the stock engine back in, then its hitting the market.

Well its time to revive this tread! The only real issue I had with this boat this summer was getting all the sediment out of the fuel tank, after a lot of frustration, fuel filters and time the boat runs great. I put a set of Hydromotive 24 pitch Q IV's on it and got a top speed of 63 MPH on the GPS. Not bad for stock 330's. I'm in the process of pulling the 330's and building a pair of 550 hp 454's. Hoping to see upper 70's with that power. I'll post pictures as I re-start this project. Here is a picture of it in the water this summer!
