OK, starting my seventh boat restoration :screwy:, this one is a 19' open bow Carrera that has been stripped, this is the third one we have done that needs everything, believe it or not it just started raining here and its 98* :screwy: so pics to come tomorrow...
I am going to be installing a 1998 Alpha I w/350 Chevy with some mild motor mods (shooting for 350HP), this will be a fun build because the hull is in pretty fair shape as compared to past projects (paint, fiberglass work, all new interior, pretty much the works), this will be a budget build but trying not to do any "Backwoods" crap that will have to be redone later. Stay tuned.

Sounds good man..... for a prop boat ;D

This is retarded, but always wanted to see what an outboard jetpump lower would do on an I/O.
There is some newer technology, but may work!

For how long????????????????LOL
LOL, work is kicking my ass this year, weather has been less than desirable and money has been hard to come by...Engine is complete, the trailer is close, upholstery is next in line (because it's the next cheapest thing for me to do...
Needed to pause to build my boat fund back up....Have to buy about $1500 worth of gelcoat and fiberglass supplies, I spent all my money on building aluminum seat frames and engine parts so far....If I could have sold my jet (or better yet, have the mustard to put it up for sale), this would already be done.
I will post pics now that I have a new digi camera... :thumbup:
Old camera was in a horrific industrial accident............................... ....It fell into a bucket of refrigeration oil. :sly:
More to come....eventually. :-\
