Since it going to be a one of kind and a billion dollars! Lol

Same thing happened with my boat. In the end youll have a better end result. The only thing I didnt do was build a new motor and guess what I'm doing right now, building a new motor.

Something I learned on my one of a kind boat was it would probably never sell if I tried. Luckily for me it was wrecked and insurance paid out. Keep that in mind, and save receipts and part numbers.

Looks good though, I'm a big fan of custom fuel injection.

As said before...great thread and thanks for sharing! Where the Fuk do you find the time for this!? I dont have kids or a wife and I have trouble just making time to clean my garage!

I sometimes wonder how he finds the time also, especially when some guy :whistle: talks to him on the phone every day......;)

Not yet, I've been busy working on it and no time to post. Engines came off the dyno a week or so ago. Extension boxes and the Arneson drop boxes are permanently mounted to the boat. Transmissions will go together on this Friday when parts come in and engines get installed on Saturday! Things should go together quickly this weekend.

Thanks for all the positive comments everyone.

Dyno sheets?

Jason3603 06-24-2014 08:34 AM

Sure do! They ended up meeting my goal hp numbers. But more importantly they start and idle beautifully. I am more than pleased with this build; it’s been a two year long project. I installed the engines and drives this past weekend with the asssitance of a few god friends. I will be doing the final finishing touches throughout the week. Should water test this coming weekend! Thanks to all involved for the advice and knowledge that you've shared, Eddie, Rik and Ben to name a few. I would like to especially thank my father in law for all the custom machined parts he has made for it. It would have never been completed without him. He has spent countless hours at the machine shop, and I mean countless. I can't thank him enough.

Boyne Thunder here we come!!!
