The 3 man is getting some mney dumped into her
I think I am going to spend between 5-7K on it before the season. Get some better heads for the engine, get her dialed in on the dyno. 2 stage water pump for the intercooler. Re do the bildge. Add a couple guages. New 3 man intercom.
Pulling the seats for new upholstery, Cleaning it out under the deck. Lots of (rap accumulated under there.
I wonder if I will find any vintage 80's beer cans under there?
Going to keep her for a while and then get her a bigger brother. I am going to spec it out to break into the 90 range when I mash on the throttle real hard on a noce day and surprise the neighbors.
Think I might even put a few of the race decals back onto it.
I will post pics as I go. Going to try and make it nice.

Throttleman is still on the left. Setting it up for a poker run boat. When I drive solo, i can still throttle with my left hand.
I have to have somewhere to hold the beers.
New headsets and comm unit shipped today, new speedo kit showed up yesterday.
Ordered sea strainer and 2 stage pump from eikert yesterday.
Waiting on new heads to come from the shop.
Start doing some rigging work on the boat next week. She is a little rough looking right now.
Need to line up a fiberglass guy to work on the deck and fairing, and cracks around the engine comp. Need to start working on the new hatch also. Need to brace it up so I can put a removable swim pad on it. Going flat with the hatch, and a snap on cover.
Got a swim step for the back.
Got a new VHF.
Got new tires and rims for the trailer, but those will wait until the boat is finished.
If Mel is that blond chick in the photo.
I second that ,,,post some more of that lady instead of the boat .LOL
Jeff,,no orange in the headrest !!!!
And don't u put cupholders in those bolsters,,,,shift left throttle right and in a race u swap the 2 and have a throttleman seat to your left !!!!!!!
