Got engine in boat,cmi big tubes clear hatch,started ruffing in the rest of rigging won't be long,not sure if tailpipes i got from teague will work the water fittings not indexed right,will give him a call tommorrow.The herring 6-blade will be the first test prop,I also have lab finish 5-blade hydo 15-29 if those don't work i will try bravo1 32.

looking real sweet so far.
whens the splash date for any of the other new style hulls?

Hey Storm,
It looks like MDG will have the first of the new 30' Superboats to hit the water.

Hey FX10,
How's that first white one with the 525 coming along?

Got outdrive on,that Konrad sure looks nice on that extension box,had to check out herring 6 blade,leading edges sharp as razor blades.The diameter looks like 15.5 gives me about .25 tii blades hit cav plate,checked prop height right on 2 bellow.Rick we will be in water soon to check out new bottom,maybe this weekend,going to finish steering tommorrow and finish rigging batterys,not quite sure if i am going to use the tails i have,Bob teague was at the powerboat trials and won't be back till thursday,every thing else going real well,the boat has alot of room in it and is nice to rig

Looking Awesome!
MDG, I noticed that you mounted your K-Planes parallel with the bottom. Do you have an opinion on mounting them horizontal like Fountain? JC (Superboat) seems to be mounting them 1/2 way between parallel to bottom and horizontal on the 30s these days.

Making progress,the k-planes are mounted as per johns specs ,they will clear konrad without cutting them,going to cut exaust holes tommorrow and finish some rigging,waiting for a couple of fittings,if everything goes well going to splash this weekend,have to run a couple of customers boats friday if weather permits

Dave, I can't wait !!! You must be Phyched !!

Liking the hi-flo filter, nice rigging!

Hey rick,getting real close a couple of small details left if some parts come in tommorrow should get a run on it this weekend have 2 boats to run tommorow that i built motors for one is 38 scarab 540-650 and the other is 30 sonic 556-750hp,will hopefully be finishing y2k saturday,jason and i are excited about running her,jason helped me rig her and he got to drill the 4.5 exhaust holes today. will keep you posted

The Sonic should run nice with that power. I had a '90 with procharged 502s. Hit 95 mph once.

Of course I'm more interested in the Superboat!!!
