awesome dude, get it in the water

Hey Donz......what ever happen to this boat?

Hey No Cig,was thinking about you guys last week when my soninlaw Dave an I took his P5-51 Phantom an I took Vixen for a run up the coast about 50 miles for lunch with our wives.Was about 75 degrees with a 2ft chop,run aound 55 most of the time,but had to tell the woman to bea with it once in the while so we could air them out a little bit.I burned about 50 gal. of fuil running my 540 with the 1050 carb and 714 714 cam wich was about 2mpg,Dave did a lot better on fuil but he was running a 509 flat tappet and a 750 carb.Just got this new computer and when i figure it all out i will post some pictures.This is my first crack at one of these things so bare with me.

Thats funny you posted mel...........I was wondering what happened to ya.......Good to see ya posting

Nothing funny about it,if you hadnt put that web link on here with that bad ass 540 of yours i woudnt have had to spend $800.00 for this darn computer just to hear it run.Just kidding, actually i wanted one for a long time,but really didnt need one tell you put that post on here and i couldnt get it with web tv.Eng. sounds great,just like the one i got in Vixen right now,real pain in the rump at the pier thou. Vixen was
still set up like a race boat with all the controles to the left of the driver in a center consule for the throttle man and what a pain that was.First thing i did when we got back was tear every thing out and lay out a new system with everything on the right,much better now.If i keep at it i might make a pleasure boat out of her yet.About one more month and it should be warm enought to put that bad boy in for its first run,right?? Have a good one MEL

i am shooting for next weekend, still waiting on the cockpit interior and new windshield....

Nocig, You now owe on speakers for my computer, nice sounds....

Hugh :rolleyes: :cool:

You don't need that $hit to run it:D

yeah your right. but the seat at least would be nice...........

My nephew is in the process of restoring it a bit wirth a new cockpit and freshening the engines. it looks nice without all the vinyl stripes.
