Every piece of wood is getting replaced on this boat. Every square inch repainted, Every fastener evey wire replaced. Fuel tank is out and new one going in. We are making a new dash that I think is more ergonomic. I also have new Mcloed bolsters, and will have to make my own back seat and blower hatch for it.
My new motors are almost ready to go on the dyno. They are 454's 30 over with 177 wiand blowers on them . They are built so that I can go much larger on the blowers if I want to and only have to change a few small things. We are hopeing to see some were around 575hp out of them. Should make this old girl get up and dance. IF it ever sees the water again.
First picture is what I started with. Looks better in that picture then it was. The old owner had taken the stripping that looked like Hellen Keller put it on and actually ran it OVER the bottom paint and all
Next picture is what it looked like after I had painted the sides and bottom with new Gell coat.
Last picture is the new dash
If you look at the middle picture that is Dads Porsche all coverd in dust That will lern him for leaving it in my shop

Probably be that long before I need them LOL. I figure I will get a bunch more Miles per hour as I plan to keep the bow very light. as I rebuild it. I am actually thinking about doing it with Composite foam stringer system similiar to what they do in the 38's now Jon
