Here are a few more pics with the rigging basically done and one engine in.
The engine is ready to run, minus exhaust.

The first two pics are before shots. Enjoy,Eddie.

that thing is going to rip. Amazing how low the motors sit in the boat

Young Performance 12-11-2008 09:35 AM

It is amazing. It has also caused a lot of problems with clearance. I have had to cut quite a few places in the stringers to get the engine in. What's crazy is that the engines will fit under the hatch without a scoop. I'm not sure what the reasoning was to put them so low. It had scoops on it from day one. They also have the engines lower in the front then in the rear. They are running downhill. I'm not sure of the reasoning behind that either. Must be some top secret double naught 7 Skater stuff that I'm not privy to.
