If you happen to be in NC, and on Lake Norman this summer, and are coming up behind a boat that looks like this, don't blow past me like a dickhead.............you just might get your feelings hurt!

Thought i would post up some cost so far
540 Merlin EFI Custom Built Should come in around $23,000
Used set of Keith Eckiard Headers $ 2,000
Used Bravo 1 Lower Housing w/1.25" prop Shaft $ 750
Rebuilding Lower with XR Gears and Upper Shaft $ 2,100
Hardin Drive Shower $ 130
Still to come Custom Dry/Wet Exhaust Tails $1,800 ?
Engine Install $1,500 ?
Longer Trim Tabs next summer $2,000
External Hyd Steering next summer $3,000
What will I have:
A Fully warranted 700HP 89Octane Engine that can continue on with me in any boat I may have in the future
A Fully warranted outdrive by my local guy, who is dying to see what we end up with that can also move with me one day
Piece of mind in knowing I have a well know Builder invested in the success of my engine
My local repair shop that is working closely with my builder and is excited as I am about the project
Money well spent!

Me too brother. Have been for years. Only thing that gets between me and my woman is a little lube called **** Water. It's great. Cuts down on the smoke and flames when things get really HOT !

This is too funny, especially when it pops up in an email while I'm at work. HAHA!
