All day for 4 holes, but I made the old tail pipes work, and the holes are right-on the mark.

Might see the water next week:party-smiley-004:

On the water yet?

Fired it up on the hose today. All looks good, I plan on running it this weekend. I post some pics.

lookin good seen you on 610 today

Is there a new sheriff in town?

Finally made it to the water today and I couldn't be more pleased. The boat ran great! Thanks to MBones, MTI, Precision Marine, RP, and the others that helped build my dream boat. I look forward to using the boat this weekend in LOTO. I will post more pics now that I have some of my spare time back.

Congrats on the water test. hate to see you leave the Eliminator side but happy to see you went with an MTI. Someday Ill be making the switch. Im sure Ill see it out at loto. have a safe trip up.

Boat looked great this weekend. Nicely done.

Saw it a bunch of times last weekend, even saw it parked at Lands End. Boat turned out sweet. Looks like something you can really enjoy after all the hard work.

Boat looked great!!

Thanks for all the nice complements my crew and I had a blast running around up there.

Ain't dat a pretty pitcher:coolcowboy:

Any pictures of the finished boat? We have enjoyed following this build!!

Haven't taken too many, but here are some

Couldn't rotate it but here is a short clip from the Wooden Boat Festival in Mandaville.

Here are a few youtube links to some videos from the weekend. (New gopro so I need to use it some more to get better angle and mounting points.)

And a few stills

Why are the air scoops turned backwards?

The air intakes opening is facing the same direction as a conventional scoop. In my case, I have rear entry blowers so the air is coming in close to the breather. Hope that helps.

nice job Pete

Thanks

I remember seeing your boat at loto in 2010, and it was tastefully done. The interior and paint looks great!

great looking boat at an amazing price, should sell fast

Thanks
When it does sell I am sure I'll have bitter sweet feelings.

I am interested in a 03 to 08 40' Formula SS 500's 525's, I would consider taking it on a partial trade for the MTI.

hate to see ya sell it, but sure it will be bitter sweet. enjoyed meeting you at the 2010 Shootout.
