+2 that looks really custom, I had posted about this a while back, sick of fixing the glass vents that EVERYONE steps on ... this would solve that problem

Is a view of the transom of Ron's 412 Skater that he had. I believe the lowdown was 1 exhaust and 1 vent per side - not quad tails for the 1100 turbos that the skater was rigged with

Absolutely beautiful! Awesome job! The colors look fantastic! Can I ask who made your side vents etc... Would love for them to do the same for me.. How much hp are your engines if you dont mind me asking? Have you also thrown an A/F meter in yours as well?

Joe, tommy bought it as a bare hull, hasn't ran it yet. I believe his engines will be about 850-900hp??

I can help you make plates just like those he has.
