We're in the process of a complete re-power and build. Prior to starting this project, I was hoping to find a blog like this to better understand what goes into a project like this...especially what it costs!

Thanks for looking!

Looks great. You are giving some inspiration to start work on my own 29.

I've had a procharged 509, and now back to a natural 509 making 589 at the flywheel.

bigger problem is rotten transom and stringers
Not looking forward to fixing!

Your twins look great!

We have some final photos of the repower and the new art work.

And one more image...this really came out well.

Nice work...who did the wrap?

Skinz in Dallas. Google them.

WOW!!! Aamazing job on this project, I had the same boat with a 540 blower motor making 825 hp and a -1 inch shortie. it ran 85mph on gps. 1400 hp in that with shorties is going to be a rocket ship. what spee and props are you trying to reach? i am in the process of doing an old school scarab panther with twin 600 hp bbc with imco 3 up ext.boxes. nearing the engine installations and hopefully a sea trial soon.

We are in the process of propping it now. The boat should be in the water this week for the litany of testing and tweaking.

Any updates on the water test?
