Hey everyone, new here. I've been trolling the forums for quite a while drooling over everyones gorgeous boats.. thought i'd register and introduce myself.

im from gilbert, az - arizona native.. I currently have a 19ft '76 southwind, 460 ford, 12jc berk pump. currently the motors out of the boat, waiting for the crank to get out of the machine shop, and my powdercoated parts to come back  >:D.. that and if i could just find some new pipes.. the Bassett's that are on there are toasted.

some pictures for your enjoyment.

The problem with America is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

definately.. little more info on the boat.. came from outside Vegas, purchased with blown motor - old owner rebuilt motor and milkshaked it.. rear main bearing's spun. crank should be done tomorrow.. I also will get pics of the powdercoated goodness as soon as it's done.

the Weiand Tunnel ram & scoop are going Mirror black from columbia coatings, the butterflys on the scoop are going mirror red from the same place.. already ordered the powder for the carbs - they're going 'xtreme chrome' from Tiger Drylac - check that stuff out, it's amazing. Dunno 'bout the valve covers yet.. theyre SVO covers, thinking gunmetal with mirror or flat black in for the Ford/SVO logo.

the boat, when running right was gps'ed at 67mph@6200rpm. thats with a stock A impeller.. the bowl appears to have some work done to it too.. from doing some research looks like i need to step up so a B impeller. also thinking of doing a droop/jetovator. oh, and paint's in there too.. let me just check my money tree in the back yard  :banghead:

on that note... anyone have a MSD 6AL and a mini starter for a 460..  >:D (and it begins.. haha.)
