Hey Blake, Dash is ready for gauges, rigging is moving forward, we will be pulling wiring tomorrow and hoping to get paint started within the next week. Hoping to be prop testing in 3 weeks...will see how things go. Thanks for checking in...stay tuned !!!

Wiring is pulled and the start of gauge installation has begun… of course all the painting needs to be completed prior to final installation…still so much to get done 🤦‍♂️

Those new 300's should give Freeze Frame great flight above the rollers.......what was the top end with the 225's? .......keep em coming, god luck!

yes they should. Top speed with 225’s was 78.6

Those yellow faces with black rims look good

Looks really good man, you do this on every boat you own you should know by now haha! Got to put the Torin touch on it.

Blake, you’re absolutely correct. I’ve got a sickness. lol….hope you and the family are well.

Chris should bring the boat down here for the poker run. Got some new blood running it, should be packed this year.

Way cool project!

Can’t believe I just caught it.

Always been a fan of this boat.

Big fan of those motors too.
Anxious to see how it runs.

Well done sir!

Rub rail installed, new side vents installed , bolster seats are back in, the teak cabin door is refinished and back in (mostly), new steering wheel, gauges and vessel view installed …. We will be prop testing within 2 weeks. Getting exciting.

Looks great Chris. Did Stainless Marine build the bracket on a flat plate, then you bolted on like that? Its different from what I have seen in the past.
https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...09710baf8.jpeg

stainless marine bracket was bolted to the aluminum plate that was originally on the outside of the transom and we’ve added an additional n aluminum plate inside the transom for added strength. We still need to finish the bracing inside the the bilge and the final tightening of everything and obviously caulking

Looks Great! who makes those side vents if you dont mind me asking?

https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...bd83e07d1.jpeg

Purchased them through the kellog parts book...I will see if I can find the manufacturer name for you....

Looking AWESOME !!

Thanks I appreciate it!

SB30, sorry for delay getting you information. I totally forgot till I have finally logged back in and seen your post. I’ll get you that info this week. Thanks, Chris.

Getting it into the water for first test

Awesome!!!

How did the test go?

went very well. I’ll post up more specifics as we get more runs under our belt.

Did you get everything done?

No.....It's been very slow...We have prop tested a few times...have a ton more dialing in to get done. Hopefully before October it will be done.

Thanks Jeff for sharing this boats amazing racing history. And now it’s just getting faster with just as much love as it had from 1986

Glad you got her on the water. Testing is always fun. Im still testing beer to see which one helps me dock better.

:boat: We will work on that in Palatka brother !!!!

Do we have any updates? Hope the weight of the new package doesn’t throw off the balance of the boat. It ran so well before. I forgot how good the mod 2.5s we're and that they could spin 8000 rpm

Balance of the boat has been a bit of a challenge...We have added some weight into the cabin of the boat to settle it down ...we have jack plates to add (that will happen this winter and then more prop testing to come. The boat is running very well at the moment...we will be taking it to Palatka Florida for the Toys Tour event in December....
