The customer has the pics of his boat. The motors shipped today so we should be moving along nicely come Monday.

RF has the motors....should start final assembly/rigging on Monday. New tail pipes from CMI and IMCO spacers and #6 shafts should be in early next week. Herrings should be shipped a week from this Monday. Reggie hopes to splash it the week of the 22nd. Im trying to talk Reggie into running it in the shootout...not like its anything super special...and probably pretty tame by their standards, but if it runs as well as they say its gonna run..the improvement from where it used to be will be nothing short of amazing.

Reggie, a quick question. I have a 1988 10 meter with 60 original hours on the hull. Joey is building me new 800 hps. XR ITS drives are going on modified by All American Drives. What prop would you recommend, and what speed do you think she will run?

Just got off the phone with Craig Wilson @ Wilson Performance Marine...what a nice guy. I think we are going to send him our SCX lowers later this fall and see what he can do to em to maybe get a little more speed out of them. I spoke with Lil Reggie last night..looks like drives are being mounted up today..CMI tailpipes showed up yesterday....so close!!!
