Craig we had a continental breakfast with a side of sausage just in your honor...... The boat is running real well. You guys should come down and see her run in the Salton Sea in December.

It was a burn victim now after 4 year restoration it is a pleasure/race boat. But it gave us a chance to fix some stuff. I convinced the new owner to go the LS7 route with the 6-speeds when he already had 557 c.i. blower motors ready to go. So he sold those and we got 2 crate motors and marinized them and stuffed them in.

Engine completely dressed, dual cooler bellhousing, headers,clutch, steel engine mounts, offset FNR transmission = 624 lbs. 550 hp.

Here is a video of some of the testing. In the video (last post) we are already in 6th at 7200.

Let me know if you want a set. If you want more power we are working on that too.

I put some pics of the model I made of what it was supposed to be but we ended up with the 1/4 f-16's.

Ahhh no. build your own........I can build you a real one...... I have another hull we are looking at doing but still changing more things. I am building another model for it.... Come out to California for a little rigging job, get out of the cold.
