Two motors are at Brad Smith's getting checked out.

Boat is apart and ready to be turned into twin stagger.

All parts have been sand blasted and ready for gloss black powder coat.

If you are switching to a twin setup, why powdercoat all 3 gimbals/hardware??

They were yellow and needed it. I sell used parts, I'll have one of every thing for sale soon.

It ran low 90's at 4,400 never would turn any more RPM and the back two motors showed zero boost. I never had the time to check into what was going on. Pulled all three motors and the center engine that was making 5# of boost is for sale. The other two are at Brad Smith's getting looked over. I talked to him yesterday and he has the intakes off and they look great so far.

That's the plan if it all works out, I found some 5 litre Whipples Id like to buy. My intakes are Whipples so I just need to change the adaptor plates. The extra 250's from air cleaner to plates will get sold off.

I have the center motor, upper, lower and IMCO box from the center drive sold. I hope to pay for the Whipples this week and take them to Smith Power.

I'm moving slow on it, been busy with work and generating cash from selling off the extra parts.
