I was a member of the forums about 10 years ago when I started this project. I haven’t done much on here since then, here is a few pics of the finished product!

🤣, found that poster behind some cabinets when we moved in to our new house. Never really added up the dollars spent on most of it, did all of the work myself except for laying down the paint. I’ll add some more pics to a project post when it allows me to post in that section lol.

Compression is right at 14.5:1, hp and tq are north of 800. It has no problem spinning a detailed stainless AB to 6500+. Pump was built by B1 Racing and has a detailed bowl and pretty much everything done to it besides a jet away or pop off.Haven’t stayed in the throttle long enough to see how many rpm it will pull, still getting comfortable with the boat. It definitely hasn’t stopped pulling when I decide to lift 🤣
