That is correct and I forgot to comeback to post that info. Thanks for doing so.

The hardest part of this now is designing the interior and layout. Have been going back and forth stand up bolsters or sit downs seating ? Seems sit down driver & passenger seating is the current trend and bolsters are old school not so current set up.

Anyways looking for ideas on layout design as my mind has become flipped flopped over it for about a month now. I do want the carbon fiber style of vinyl so at least I have that end picked out.

Then I need to pick out or have fabbed, driver and passenger seat frames to the floor.

This whole interior part is harder than the hull design and colors.

Big THANKS to whom posts pics of the interior sharp designs.

Bottom of the page pics is the stage of the hull since about 10 days ago and of course hull design colors plus layout. And for those who want to read the whole process, there it is as well. Click on the pics to follow in the stages of the build. Thanks

I really think you should go with a sitdown seat if the budget is there although it can snowball quickly. Coming from someone that has owned a boat that I converted from a stand up to a sitdown boat I would never go back in any boat. I'm not sure what your particular freeboard is but if you have the room and budget I highly reccomend suspension seating. It's honestly the best thing I've ever done to my boat. You can drive it 10x more aggressively. The only downfall and it's very very minor is it is alittle harder to see crab pots and when getting on plane in my particular boat you lose sight infront of you for 4/5 seconds while it falls over on plane.

The best way to explain it is imagine hitting the largest wave you've ever hit 20mph faster then you ever have and you don't even feel an impact. You have to get creative with cable routing and throttle pod placement with the suspension seating as it has to float with your seat but man is it sweet.

Just an update, not a lot happening I'm completely buried with work. I have to get BUP's block work done in the next week or two though. Chad is supposed to be done with the heads tomorrow afternoon but I'm not ready for them so there isn't a huge rush right now. The intake manifold that has been on special order since September or so showed up today, I guess you could say it's not ugly :eekdrop:

john,the color really pops,it looks great.i am sure the injection will be efi,are the mechanical lines&injector,s fake to give the old school look?i like it!when that monster is done i am hopping a plane to texas for a ride.

The "mechanical lines & injectors" are just used as vacuum source to a block to get a vacuum signal for the map sensor. It is EFI and the injectors will be on the outside between the manifold and the black fuel rails.

i did see the holes machined in the unit for the efi injectors.has the system been used before using the mechanical injectors& fuel lines for a vacuum source for the map sensor or is this one a first?

It's how Hilborn has been doing it. There aren't any mechanical injectors in it, just the lines.

ok,it is a cool concept,i had the same system years ago with real mechanical injection,it was fun to play with.
