So I should have my motor back from the machine shop soon. and I'll be able to work on the custom interior yet again. So excited to be able to get back to work on this. |

So my engine is finally finished but I haven't been able to pick it up yet. All said and done, its a BIG investment...lol that being said however it should hold up very well. I didn't skimp any corners on this either, the clevite H series bearings arn't cheap, same for the weisco pistons. I will say I was able to hit the water, just not in my boat. Its kind of sad when I'm at the ramp and all these baja's are being launched and I roll up in a 17' bayliner... yes its a boat and yes it gets me on the water... but its like going from a Harley to a moped.... my oldest boy asks... "dad can we go any faster?" and all I could do was laugh, we were topped out at under 35... oh well soon enough.

So... progress is now at a hault. I got injured and crushed my left arm. I now have two steel plates in my left forearm. I so want to work on my boat, but right now I'm just glad to be alive. I will have this boat on the water by next season. Nothing will stop me from finishing my boat. I'll post dyno charts once I get the motor down to the tuners.

Nice project, did you ever figure out the color scheme for your interior?
|
I'm thinking white and charcoal maybe. Depends on what I do for paint colors I guess. It's a big decision...lol
|
I am almost done with my 89 Excel.....Be more than happy to show some pics for ideas.
