Skramer--
Thanks --i knew you had tried back then, it was a long wait but i think it was worth it.
I've got the engine compartment cleared out and going through things to make sure that everything is ready for a long summer of boating.
The engines are apart -- a good thing -- time was not their friend --I;m going to drop in a pair of 700's for now until we get the blower motors built, i realize it will a bit doggy compared to when Parnell was running it -- but just for a while.
Luckily i had a spare set of drives and tabs that will bolt right on...
It will be over at Kelley's asap.
I need to download some pics off my phone.

Dave,
Parnell is one of my best friends and I've never seen more passion about building a boat the way he wants more then Parn does especially when he did Ancestral Spirit! That boat is amazing and you will be blown away how that thing rides! Some of my best and favorite memories are in that boat! Congrats and wish you the best! I am sure it won't be long and the pics of you running in the rough will posted soon.
Congrats, CJ

He did a fantastic job on it, i hope i can keep it going the same direction. After looking at the attention to detail on AS and then on his Donzi i can tell he takes it very serious.
Yes I hope to have some great running shots once we hit water....
