almost ready for the water, whatcha think

[BIKINI HUNTER]

hi ive been watching everyone elses projects for a while and Ive been working on mine since early this year and it will finally hit the water this weekend its a 72 tahiti it was set up for a bbc chevy when I got it I put a blown 540 merlin motor had a custom pump built from ARS MARINE stainless impeller w/inducer and a 9 vein bowl. it used to be a nasty yellow with brown stripes so I pulled it off the trailor flipped it painted the bottom flipped it back painted the top had my old man do the custom carpet and stich the seats for me and now it finally looks worthy of a jet boat with the exception of graphics which will be done over this winter so I thought I would post it up hopfully the pictures work otherwise I will need some help.http://img410.imageshack.us/img410/4...t016si6.th.jpg (http://img410.imageshack.us/my.php?image=boat016si6.jpg)http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/6...t033ew2.th.jpg (http://img160.imageshack.us/my.php?image=boat014ck6.jpg)http://img160.imageshack.us/img160/7...t036iz4.th.jpg (http://img205.imageshack.us/my.php?image=boat036iz4.jpg)http://img410.imageshack.us/img410/7...t045nr1.th.jpg (http://img410.imageshack.us/my.php?image=boat045nr1.jpg)http://img410.imageshack.us/img410/5...t047sn1.th.jpg (http://img410.imageshack.us/my.php?image=boat047sn1.jpg)http://img410.imageshack.us/img410/5...t048xr0.th.jpg (http://img410.imageshack.us/my.php?image=boat048xr0.jpg)http://img410.imageshack.us/img410/1...t051yq1.th.jpg (http://img410.imageshack.us/my.php?image=boat051yq1.jpg)[URL=http://img440.imageshack.us/my.php?image=boat052ud0.jpg][IMG]http://img440.imageshack.us/img440/6789/boat052ud0.th.jpg (http://img410.imageshack.us/my.php?image=boat053zo4.jpg)

Hey Bikini Hunter; That is a nice looking Tahiti.I have a 73 Kona ,which is an exact splash of You'r hull.I allways wondered what mine would look like with a blower motor,now I know.
I am building a 489 nitrous motor,But now That makes me want to go blower motor.
What Kind of graphics are You planning? Looks awesome! Keep the pics comming....Hal
