Here are a few updated pics. Just finally got one in the boat to stay. I'll bet I put it and out 10 times. If I could make it that far in real life, I'd be good.
Had a bunch of interference with everything. When I moved one thing, something else would hit. The engines sit very low in the boat. It actually doesn't need the scoops. How cool is that to have a 39' V with over 1200 hp a side and have it all under the hatch. If there were somewhere else to get enough air to the engines, we would probably lose the scoops and put a nice big sunpad on it. Anyway, these pics were taken a few days ago before all of the rigging was complete. I have a few more pics to add when I get time. Hope ya'll enjoy. Thanks, Eddie.

Will do. Depending on how it runs, I might need you to come down and drive it for me.
Thank you Gary. I have had the oppurtunity to get my hands on one of your engines and I can really appreciate the level of detail. You remind me of me.
I'll bet you are as anal as I am when building an engine or rigging a boat. I'm sure we will meet at some point. Until then, take care.
