Ratical Graphics out of Union, MO. They paint MTI s and Black Thunder boats. After all layers of the paint are done, they are putting 7 coats of clear and sand between each layer.

Here is one of the power plants. Transmissions are going drysumped, and the Arnesons are getting resealed with new gasket kits. Mounting the engine hatch hinges in the front to open in the back just like Nortechs.

I put new stringers in my boat's engine compartment. I do not have the motor mounting plates on the side of my boat. I have through bolted "L" brackets now.

Mark, not sure if you were asking me, but my boat is a OEP 25 1987 with twin Johnson V8 outboards. Was originally spec built for Ken Stafford, North East apba commisioner in the day. I guess he used to whip up on Fountains pretty bad back in the day....Kind of a personal thing I'm told.
Ross Jr. says that Ross said he would never put those motors on another cat cause the were too "%$*&^)*(*&^(_*"fast.
I spoke with Ken and he claimed to have done 118 at OMC when Gary Garbarecht was still around.
