Pepe said that it had some bad a$$ small blocks and speedmasters in it then. I wish I had the parts.

that would be a long ride from Tennessee :D

I just need it to warm up a little more so I can start doing the fiberglass work...

I need it to warm up a LOT here in upstate NY. How high is your X going to be?

I'll have to check my notes, but I think that Jo said that he is cutting the full pleasure at 17.5. I my boat doesn't have a cabin in it so Jo said that I could probably go another 1/2" higher. That's what I'm going to do. If it doesn't work out, I have a 1/2" spacer that I can put in it. I might go another 1/2" higher than that spacers are a heck of a lot cheaper than shorties.

The 575 SCI is coming out and will be 4-sale (145 hrs)

I'm buying a HP500EFI with Whipple from a friend, it's tweaked a little (Done right, he's more anal than I am) and dyno'd 790- hoping for low to mid 80's at the 1120 ft we boat in.

I replaced the lower late in the season with a fresh Imco after I found a shallow spot/ ledge.

Took the upper down (XR/ITS) and was amazed at how great it looked- upgraded the vert to a newer improved part (Thanks for the tip Sterndrivespec). I'm confident that the XR will live just fine with the new power all else being equal- and missing the ledges:)

Catitude are you getting the one from up here in upstate NY? Will the sci go under the stock hatch in the 28?

Sounds like it- Dave claims Brewster, but lives on Candlewood- he's a good friend of one my good friends (Charlie Melchner if you know him)

Sounds really nice, I wanted it for my 28 but the budget is a little less so I can do some other stuff. Good luck with it. I don't know Charlie, I am a few hours north of there. Chris
