Picked Up the Boat Saturday
 

Still need a good cleaning and now put back together!!!!

Lookin good Bro ,bet your glad to have it back under your thumb ...

more

Thanks

@#$%ing aggressive paint scheme on that one. Love that there's no color, looks like a battleship or something. :D

HEY KOOL AID who picked the colors & design ??? u, nabber, Lenny ???
ROCK ON !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!

Thats sweet! :D

I picked out the scheme and paint colors then was going between blue with a silver stripe or silver with a blue stripe...and kicked around to a few people then decided to go with this

was going between these two

Think you made the right choice big daddy , howd they do overall ?????? spoke to lenny on sat nite and he mentioned they finished thursday and moved her out on fridaay for ya .:cool-smiley-011:

Hey Bro better reset that date in the camera , looks like summer is here and gone LMAO :evilb:

Almost has an "old school" look to it IMO, but modernized because of the colors.

Great looking boat. I like the little one parked next to it also :)

Overall really good...but it looks like a freaking bomb went off in the cockpit and cabin...so there is a lot of cleaning and things to put back together. A couple of hinges and actuaters for the hatches were not hooked up which is not that big a deal but its better done by someone that knows what they are doing as it relates to screwing thing into fiberglass (just don't want to mess it up)

I got a feeling I know who gets to do the SCREWING

Not this time....the hatches are going back to Nabbers

Not the kind of SCREWING you wanna be doing? :evilb:

Dont feel bad Bro when i got mine back from Toms last Feb i thought they left it in pretty bad shape and all we had to do was give it a good cleaning , chit we just finished all the crap that your doing now last sat 2/09 after picking it up on 12/10 from SKATER so them boyz down there at all that badd ...good luck thats one thing about tom is believe it or not hes pretty Anal and makes them redo chit that i've seen and did'nt look bad ...

Brian,

That looks amazing congrats.

She looks great!! Good choice on the colors.

Awesome Bri.

Look's really nice Brian! Nice job- Thanks for posting.

Looks Great Brian, Let me know when you need those drives.

Mark:D

Very Nice. I always had ideas for painting my old excalibur silver, but never got around to it. Yours looks awesome!

Very nice..

Great job, Love the paint job.

Thanks everybody..look forward to seeing everyone on the water

Lookin' good brutha-man.

Brian, boat looks great !!! Love the color combo. :D

Sounds great see ya on the pond :cool-smiley-011: did Tom get ya fixed up ??????

Nice graphics. Classic yet modern.
The opposite version from your sketch looks good too.
Don't think you could have gone wrong either way.

I really like the colors and the design. Very classy yet looks like a hot rod Cig.

Brian, what ya doin for power??

Beautiful, really turned out nice. Love that paint scheme, I think I have seen that somewhere before and what I want to know is in post nice #9 where were you running and what kind of paint is that to change colors that way ?

Hey Doug...actaully how is YOUR boat changing colors like that!!!!! look really close at the picture!!!! hahahaha

Frank..... right now Dave W. and I have discuss new blown 598ci (900hp)..but I haven't pulled the trigger yet

Brian, ya better not wait too long on that one. He's starting to get real, real busy now, and he does things in order of how they get there. I was on my way up there early this morning with a truck packed with engine parts, and got as far as Indiana and we decided to turn back. There was solid ice on 80/94, and we seen an accident every couple blocks or so. The bad one was right at RT 41, semi craqshed and ended up across ALL the eastbound lanes, had to use the shoulder to get around it. Then we heard the highway was closed down at Mich/city due to a real bad multiple vehicle accident All westbound traffic lanes were at a startstill due to semi's that were all spinning the tires trying to get up an incline at 41, backed up as far as you could see, nobody was goin nowhere. We got off, and took backroads all the way back to Chicago.

What a phuckin mess, left at 5:30, made it to Kennedy ave exit, got off and went back home, got home at 10:30. :(

Those 598/900's you're talkin about, is a very good combo. And he's very conservative about the hp#'s, they can very easily make way over 1000 hp with a little tweaking, and still be very mild and reliable. Dave absolutely WILL NOT build anything that will not stay together for a long time. If it's a combo that he's not 110% confident with, he won't do it. He would'nt care if ya stood on your head and shot sparks outa your a$$. We've talked about different rod lenght combo's for some nitrous and turbo engines that he's currently building for us, and he's got the package's that work and stay together, and he's not changing it for anybody.

You'll be happy at the end of summer if you decide to use him for your engine builder.

Beautiful boat, great colors and graphics.

I'm going with Dave hands down, just have my other Top Gun to sell as well (have a guy approved on a loan and is flying in this weekend for the thumbs up/down)

Daves a nice guy and I like his approach to things...like you said I could have over 1000hp but turn them down for reliability and get a few seasons out of them!

I heard that area was a nightmare cause of the storm/ lake affect...sucks what a waste of a morning!!!

It'll al depend on a few things. 1st, how many hp will the drives handle???
2nd, I've seen some of his so called 900's, that actually did 950 on the dyno. He's very conservative about his hp #'s Those same engines with a pulley and jet change, would do well over 1000, and still be very reliable if that's what you tell him that you're gonna want to do down the road. To do that you're gonna need the 598's, and some pretty good blowers with intercoolers too.

You could probably find a couple of "blowers" in Moda, no?

i'm getting the konrads with the heavy duty gear set and really I'm not dead set on a hp number...just some good hp with the 598's thats dependable and I'll be a happy guy!!

Goota Love Moda!!
