Progress update, I just about have all my parts rounded up. I decided to add 12" Imco extenison boxes, they will be neutral position with 1" lowers on the XR drives. I bought them today. The motors should ship out on Tuesday 6-3-08.

Got back for Derebery's. I meant to take my camera to take some pictures but I forgot it. Leon has his 4000 HP twin turbo engines sitting in the showroom. Talk about some real jewelry.
Going to the powerboat store is as bad as the surgen store. Before I left there today,
Leon talked me out of the Gil manifolds and into Cmi dry headers W/ 4.5" tails.
Imco helmet and HD Gimbal ring, polished.
Twin Weldon Fuel pumps, logs, regulators and filters.
Race style motor mounts.
Extra tie bar for the drives that saddels over the trim cylinders on the lowers. I asked him why I need it? He replied, " you got two of everything else.
See photo, not my boat, but see extra tie bar.
I'm keeping a running total on all parts I will post those numbers after the show is over. Like a credits

Thats a nice clean shop, mine looks like that once a month.
Those mothers are gonna kick ass. If I could cross the border I'd love to hear those mofos fire up for the first time. I fired up project chopper last night, sounds like a dragster. Sure glad that project is done it was getting a little overwhelming with 3 projects on the go. What is your due date to splash your ride?
