    If I may step in here & offer some sound advise! Forget the engine rail bull shiat & get the damn thing on the water! When you go into production then you can dimension the engine in the boat & fab from there... You can & will drive yourself crazy trying to please everybody with the proto type. I would assume you will have your hands plenty full just working the bugs out of the dual jets, that motor & a proper hardware set up... I would "rough" the boat out first, then drive the piss out of it. Shake down all the bugs then go back & glam it out!
    ... oh... and one more thing... Maxi forgot to mention that you should trick it out with dual starters.

    Wes, I am digging all the new things you are doing to this boat.
    One question (that may be covered on you site): Are the jets counter-rotating? Would there be a similiar advantage (as with out drives) to this?
    Just wondering.
    Beautiful boat.
    Keep On Working....

    The jets are not counter rotating. They both turn together and are standard jets bolted to a common intake.
    Here are a couple of pics of the fab work on the turbo outlets/intercooler inlets completed.

    Well, that is all just the mock up system.
    Interesting thing about tie wraps for small gauge sensor and injection wires. Use too many and they increase the load on the wire and give you weird signals sometimes.
    We are probably going to switch to a tech-flex system on the engine management. Not just for the impedance reason, but because it drains easily if it gets wet.
    All of those cool 90 degree angles look great behind the dash but they add resistance and wear to the wire itself. They don't like making hard turns.
    Here is the dashboard. You can see it is done with looser curves, which as it turns out is a hell of a lot harder to keep symetrical and clean looking...
