Look really nice! Just got an email from the dudes who bought my race car... It just cleared customs in Australia and they will be running it this weekend... If they'd bought it 3 weeks sooner...

I don't have any more photos but I'll get some this week. If your bolsters are plywood and glass like mine they probably weren't designed to support seats. We ran a length of 1-1/4" AL square tubing the length of the bolters and attached 6" stainless tee-hinges from it to the seats. Once it's in the boat we'll support the tubing and the front of the seats off the floor with more tubing. It's a work in progress and I expect we'll have to do some tweeking once its in.
I want to make it friendly for every day use but still be able to race it

The Mig is getting closer to being back on the water
The bolster is back in and I'm working on the layout of the supports for the seats. The position of the drivers seat in the second photos is pretty close to the final seat height. The throttles should go in this week and if I get a package from Stainless Marine the motor should fire off next week. It's time to start looking for test props.

Well we were close to getting back on the water but we decided to change the drive oil while the boat was at the shop and found some trash in the oil and had to open up the drive. Looks like the bearing on the vertical shaft in the lower gave up and killed the shaft in the process. My guy's in the process of getting it back together now. I did get the purple graphics replaced w/ green so at least there's some progress there.
