Im am pumped wild man. We are going with stainless marine on the exhaust. Simply because I have a fever and with the fever the swim platform sets right on the water at an idol. Ron says with the exhaust under water like that we stand a chance of backing up and filling the motors with water with CMI and couple of other brands. He says that stainless marine is less prone to do this plus the warranty on the stainless is unbeaten. Man IM pumped I got these pictures around 5pm today and I haven't stopped smiling yet.

Thanks for the tip Blue Magic. I'm putting all new gauges on her. I really don't think there is anything wrong with the gauges she has now but I'm think new motors get new gauges to be sure everything is getting a true reading. I just bought two new Livorsi warning systems from Sonic 700 the other day. I was looking were to put those on the dash. I'm getting rid of the old depth finder and the clock for the warning systems. Where would you mount the drive temp gauges?? Let me know you thoughts.

Here is the next update and a few more new pictures to post. I went by Potters today to see where we are. Motors are all painted setting on the mounts. They were assembling the fuel systems when I left today. Ron said they will get on the valve train tomorrow and should be ready for dyno early next week no problem. As you will see these guys are just dynamite. I know that I have never seen this much attention to detail before from anyone as these guys at Potter have. Just everything about this build is perfection. Well Ill let the pictures speak for them and in person it was only better. Like I have said on this thread a couple times. If they run like they look the only thing you see from me is roaster tail!!!!!
