Looks great, Ive witnessed this boat go through many transformations, it is much improved over its original design. Im glad to see you finally got a chance to take some pics and post them.

Paul - wow what a transformation - Looks great. Couple questions - Looks like lots of guages - what are they all. Also what's up with what looks like a shifter in the center and one on the driver side. What material did you make the dash out of? What prop are you runing that got you 83, I'm stuck at 80 but have other issues.

Re: My 28 Excel after 4 years of work
Thanks everyone for the compliments.
Unfortunately I blew the motor a few weeks ago. I had a head gasket leak and melted the #6 piston. I will be building a 700 hp motor for her the winter. I want to see 86+
Hay Strippoker did you have to cut the fire wall on yours to fit the blower pulley. I want yo use a 6-71 or 8-71 blower but I dont think I have the clearance to the fire wall. I know I will have to cut the top of the deck where the hatch sits. I am not sure that when I replaced the fire wall that it is in the same place. It might be a 1/2" closer to the motor. What do you think??
