Took her out for a test run today @Elsinore.. Made a quick stop @Shoemakers shop had him double check everything before droppin her in the water... Runs great! And hauls ass! Dunno how accurate the speedometer app on my iphone is but it hit 78 aftr holdin down full throttle for a bit. Feels like i can get more outta it probably with a place diverter... But not in a super rush for it... Overall im very happy with it!

Thats a clean boat!

Me too lol

Koo thnx guys. N ya i found a crap load of upper guards but none for the bottom...

Well guys after shopping around i finally jumped the gun and went big with this motor lol may be a lil too much for me right now but we will see once i get her on the water...
1974 Fantasy the castings say a 454 big block chevy but the dude i bought it from has all the paperwork that have it made up to a 502 BBC N a 871 BDS blower, 750 demon carb... Says its a lil over 650hp n its pretty fast on the water.. Cant wait to gps it.. Ima try n make it out to this months trip on the 23rd to hopefully meet some of you guys...

Not to thread jack but here are a couple of pictures of both boats he has for sale. The first couple pics are the hallet and the other pics are a glencoe both have bbc the hallet has a berkley and the glencoe has a polished jacuzzi that has a fresh rebuild on it. They both have diverters.
