What are the small triangle pieces doing up under your deck dude? Is that so the deck doesnt crack when your girls pile on? nice touch must have been hard to shoot paint up there.
they look even.

i like that shade of yellow.

that white 36 is the tits that boat must haul.

I noticed those little things to, what are those for? Look like a pain to sand. Boat looks good, those 32's run great (like pretty much all of Peters boats )

Thanks for the engine well offer, even though I definitely like the closed transom area, I couldnt possibly throw another change at GD, after all that we've been through with this 36
also: no fat chicks allowed

He said 300 hours send them back for refresh. I WISH YOU NO BAD LUCK BUT THOSE 2.5 ARE TICKING TIME BOMBS

No thanks, there's a good reason why those 2.5s are used exclusively to this day in offshore racing. and I kinda like (and need the 8000 rpm capability)

the torque of a 3 litre is whats needed to move heavy objects like a 32-36 skater

I also spoke to Shaun, as Larry suggested. What Shaun recommended me isto get a 3 litre fish boat engine. He told me "...the engines that says Salwater Series on the side, preferably 2003 or newer..."

Upon receipt of this engine, he will then do his magic. He prefers the engine to be delivered to him fully dressed. The exception to that is if you're mechanically inclined such as Larry and yourself, then you can send just the powerhead.

Shaun builds engines where at 4500 RPM the horsepower and torque are up there. This would preserve the motors for longevity. After 300 hours, send them back to Shaun for a refresh at a modest price.

And he does the magic you won't believe. I can't wait to see Larry's engines. I'm sure Larry will start a new thread on those engines ?
