I hear you there! It has been very hard to keep from getting irritated over the build. This thing has turned into such a "might as well" project it's not funny. If I am doing this I might as well do that and that is the thing that is killing me. It has turned into so much more than I ever really wanted. I call this project my Mona Lisa. Since it going to be a one of kind and a billion dollars! Lol

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.

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.

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.
