Any update on this build? Looks like it has great potential.

Slowly moving forward, fiberglass took a bit longer than we had hoped and it's into season now. I've been too busy to do much, bilige should be done soon and we can start rigging the boat.

I have most the parts cleaned, re-powered coated, new stuff bought and ready to go.

Only issue so far has been I'm going to a 5 liter Whipple system and we found my compression ratio to high for what I want to do. I'm now working with Bob Madara for cam shafts, lifters and pistons.

Lookin good! I guess your lined out on stringer placement, if you dont mind share what you have and also what you set the x dimension at.

I ended up having to pay an engineer $600.00 for the drawings.

For now, if they come out I want to remove the fills, etc as fast as it's going to rip up fuel I may need them.

Nice job so far.. From the looks of your pics, it appears you plugged the drive & exhaust holes. Wouldn't it been easier to just replace the transom? When do you plan on splashing her?

It would of been easier to make it a side by side boat or leave it alone! The entire transom is new I wish it would of been rotten at least! ;)
