well we stayed up till 2:30 last night to finish up the bottom of my new ride..It had a crack in one of the strakes about 5 feet long. since we had it fliped we cleaned up and blueprinted the bottom. its all with in a 16th with a 1/4 in rocker in the last 12 inches. finished her up and shot some speed coat on it. i think it turned out great since we had to basicly take the whole strake off to fix the crack. special thanks to Scott at Precision boatwerx for all the help and late nights..

I just might take you up on that one of these days. Jill's dying to get out in it. I think that when old man winter starts up she'll be wanting to head somewhere warm for a weekend.

Hey, the interior turned out pretty good from these pics.
I think that'll be my next project after next season.
I found the paperwork on the engine and the guy I bought it from must not have looked at it. He bought it earlier this year, only used it for the summer. I talked to the guy he bought it from. The previous owner bought it new. He replace the 454 with a 496 crate that he had beefed up a little. Punched out to 516ci at 500 HP and 560ft.lbs.
I think after next summer I'll look at updating the pump. Just going to have fun with it as a snail.

Good to see the boat coming together.
