Hi everyone,

So I have finally finished my boat - after 3 years of hard work.

Just a final few teething problems to sort out and I'll be good to go.

Hi all,
Thanks for all the kind remarks.
In answer to some of the questions, yes I did the bulk of the work at our race shop facility here at Road Atlanta, she is powerd by a 350 chevy, and no top speed yet.
Im still just sorting out little problems right now, but she handles realy well.
Regards to all "H"

[htom]

[chharvey]

Which lake can we see her at? Lanier, Burton, Hartwell???

fabulous job! Interesting placement on the exhaust. Would really like to see some more details!
Be neat to have them side by side somewhere- I'll be up in Newport RI for a while, but maybe Mt Dora next spring will work out.
I noticed you did not put the spray rails on; they seem to really help keeping water down out of the cockpit at speed- might save from having to building the rest of the cockpit cowling...
Get your engine issues ironed out?
I've been trying to come up with some sort of canopy- wish I had one like Elizabeth II on the cover of the ACBS dirctory!
Outstanding looking boat- I know you have to be terribly proud! Capital job!
Matt :cool:

[Hal Forsen]

Hot Damn! That is sweet!!!
