Water pumps fit and the Stellings headers are huge. Will know in a couple days what hatch we will need either a raised race hatch or a flat with scoops still debating.

My understanding it was built as a race boat in 90-91 and sat on the shelf never rigged. I do know there wasn't a hole or wire one in it when I bought it.

Speaking of holes,
We bout got everything drilled fitted. Then pulling everything to restore the bilge. Here's a shot of the 5 1/2" cannons sticking out the transom we will have to trim these a little. You can't see the rest till we restore the bilge. (Sorry) Heee
