nice looking, all new sheet metal, new interior, just praying they updated the tranny... also waiting for the new 6.7 Ford to arrive before I make my decision. The 08 Duramax and Powerstroke will stay for another year.

Did you work with Drew on the 540 ci combo?

I'm not sure about that and since the boat no longer exists there's no way for me to check...

My understanding is Mr. Carlson used Drew Marine a lot. This motor was the 540/600 unit. The 1050 Dominator was very difficult to shift around the docks. It was almost as if it had a crash box so that I had to kill it to shift it.

The midrange performance was not good either which as we all know is where we spend most of our time running. Ateco motors has recalibrated the Dominator's circuitry and according to Bill Lawson the problems I alluded to have been solved.

That is this year old man. The 302 is what I had when you first joined. I have three boats. The 302 (going to be gutted and made as fast as possible, no interior at all), the 311 is the family truckster (going to stay stock), the Donzi 18 with big block is also going to stay stock.

I use to get calls all hours from people hey my friends will give you 100 to get the jeep out of the woods one was stuck on saplings lil trees they ran over a bunch then backed up next thing the jeep was 3feet off the ground:evilb::eek:. man I miss that truck later art
