I know what you mean about planning. Its all the little things you take for granted like head gaskets. My build has been stalled almost two weeks due to non stock on Felpro steel shimmed head gaskets that I need for my blower engines. My interior guy still hasn't finished my back seat. I am glad I kept the Formula untill the Velocity is done.

I let the girl that trims toenails at the dock see a pictire of your boat. She thinks your hot and wants to swap spit. I gave her your # cause your boat is gonna be faster than mine. What are friends for? Here is her picture, be gentle with her she packs a gun(357) and gets what she wants, good luck, your good buddy, Andy...

By the time that list of parts gets in the boat it probably won't even float much less beat your's. I might have to get a center trim tab to even get'er on plane. I'll trade you these three gals for your toe nail clipper.

Just called, nothing yet, they have 5 parks and wildlife airboats getting new props put on to go south to Dolly huricane "top priority". I did buy a SS bimini with side curtains one of those camper looking tops. Came off a 38 fountain should make a nice add-on, looks like it may be fall before the boat gets done at this rate. I may need it.
