31' Awesome Thundercat

UPDATE 2-22-06 The new engines are in! the outdrives are attached. will hear the thunder next week in Houston! My Rebuild is coming together after more than a year of down time. Boat completly rebuilt with new transome, imco extender boxes, imco drives, and hydrolic stearing! Twin 540 blower motors (dyno 850 HP 93 octain unleaded 3.5 lbs boost) and updated Paint will bring my 1997 31 Awesome back to life as a 120 MPH contender! Any other Awesome owners doing the rebuild dance?

Hello James, Great hearing about your 31 rebuild. I am also going thru an extensive rebuild of my 31. Let's see some pics of the work completed so far!!!!! I just got back from Mitch Tolan my dash panels. They really turned out great. Aluminum instead of the plastic "stock" panels too. Lot's more gages and switches. Keep in touch. Richard
