Who built the motor? Anyone know if its a new carb, vortec or 525 build up? Any numbers for speed on the test run? Was it a total gut and all new build? Would love to see some pics of the motor compartment and cockpit. Grant did my boat when I first got it and it was amazing back then. I can only imagine what he can do now with all the new accessories and time in the game.

In all the articles on Speed on the Water, it listed "Fountain Engines" as the builder(Ive never heard of that company) but through the grapevine, I heard it was Gluek's engine guy.. assumption is carbed as with the numerous tests we did, the carb has a decent advantage over the vortecs and the old discontinued 525's... dont think it was a total gut, but did hear that the moveable gas tank system was removed in order to lose approx 150 lbs
