Ahhh, I see!

I had some small issues with it last summer, and this year it's getting a rebuilt engine.

How did the motor let go if you don't mind sharing?

Also, do you remember what your top speed has been?

69 with a 24p B1.

Two cylinders leaned out, #5 & #6. I had the injectors out over the winter when installing a new fuel pump and reg. I feel like that lead to it, dirt/debris in injectors.

Ah gotcha, sorry to hear that! Let me know when you get it back and running. We should meet up and do a poker run or cruise sometime!

Out with the old, and in with the new... Got my new 4 blade B1 on and the Simrek drive shower. Also got my sunpad redone but they messed up and the logo is upside down. Arghhhhh. Would this bother anyone else?!

Yup, That would irritate me.

How many HP you think that engine has?

Called the upholstery shop and they will redo it free of charge... At least they stand behind their work.

Based on my hardware, top speed and research I believe it has about 430-450hp. After the headers and a few other minor tweaks I think upper 400's will get me to 75. Then I'll be doing a blower over winter to push me into the 80's.

Im hoping for ~500 after the rebuild. New cam, exhaust, and a little more compression.

I love this sexy boat... I honestly love it more than its bigger brothers. lol.

Got a new cockpit cover made and they're almost done installing the CMI E-Tops. Turns out they wont fit without clearancing the hatch. Doh, more $$$! :(

Are you planning on adding hydraulic steering with the extra power?

That's the next step... I'll be doing hydraulic steering, K-Planes and a supercharger at the same time this winter.
