Looks good! I'm curious about were the drive height will be. I have ITS on my boat. It seems to work fine in a pleasure situation and I like the way it cleans up the transom. I do remember Jr. saying that he didn't think the ITS boats turned as well as those with regular steering.

It will be a fairly conservative drive height, handling is priority one. Especially in rough water. Even with a low drive, the boat will have plenty of power to run 75. Plus a lower center of gravity is always good

.

any new pics to share on the boat or engines ?

Not yet but will soon!

Great to see Coen is on the build again! Keep up the pics!

Will do! Engine parts are ordered...boat is going to be a beast!

Johnny, what do you mean, "Tweaked Specifically for Class 5 Racing" ? Blueprinted?

Jr came up with some ideas to make it turn even better, and run even faster.
Also getting a built in ballast tank, ITS steering and the engine on a jackshaft moved 6in forward.

My dad and Jr came up with it, want the boat to be the ultimate rough water machine.
