I don't see no cav plates on the back of that thing!!!!
Going from a V-drive to a  jet is like graduating college and then going back to High School. WTF??

That is true, but I do still own a v-drive....20' spectra. She's almost done.

Liberty's are killer rough water hulls. Randy used to run wide open through water i'd never touch in my Bonneville.

that's gonna make a great circle boat. congrats.

Jeff Bennett and Jack McClure have tons of knowledge about that hull.
Is that the same type hull that Randy had? I remember looking at Randy's old boat when Barrett owned it and it seemed a bit more square in the back like a Bahner or Pioneer. Ricks new boat looks more rounded like a Sanger. I'm not saying it is I'm just wondering if they used different tops with the liberty bottom.

Randy's boat was an Eliminator version of the Liberty. The guy that made the first Liberty's had quite a reputation for building one-off quality boats. So you could say that the early Liberty's are "REAL" and the others are well, built by eliminator....

I understand the angle finder on the engine block but what do you use to get the hull level?   The stringers?   The keel?

I want a few degrees difference between the pump and the  motor. I put the protractor on the pump first, and then the block to get the variation. The u-joints need a lil load on um .You don't want everything in a perfect line.
