So I finished as much sanding as I could. Smoothed out all my cuts around the bulkhead, gas tanks, ect...
I thought I was going to do all the repairs but after thinking about all the super half ass jobs I've done in the past I thought it would be best to hire a pro.
Towed the boat up to John Miller's (Miller Boats) shop today! Getting stringer, front bulkhead, side gunnel supports replaced.

Along with flow coating all the above plus the transom!!!
Going to try and have it all done and running by Tom Papp in January, if not March will do just fine!

Update:This bike has been completely gone through again!
Very clean, never raced, well maintained bike, with lots of new parts! Motor was rebuilt (to factory specs.) a year ago and only have 4 rides on the rebuild! Have all reciepts. Pro circuit suspension, FMF exhaust with powerbomb , RA&D triple clamps, and ASV levers...too much to list. Bike was just serviced this past week. Bike is ready to ride! Comes with extra plastics, grips, ramp, tires, and 2 stands. No time to ride anymore.
If your looking for a clean, fast, reliable bike...without the high cost of a new bike. Then this is it my friend!
Looks and runs great!

ITS A BUMMER THAT I HAVE TO POST THIS... THOUGHT THE BOAT WOULD HIT THE WATER FINALLY, BUT WHEN I FINALLY GOT THE ENGINE ASSEMBLED AND STARTED I FOUND WATER GETTING INTO THE OIL... AFTER DISASSEMBLING THE ENGINE I FOUND A CRACK IN THE CYLINDER BLOCK FROM A PREVIOUSLY BROKEN CAMSHAFT... TIME TO START OVER

I have a 454BBC 4-bolt main Gen V block if ya want it.

Was hanging out with Brian and Frank yesterday.
Brian's boat is ready to rock and roll! He did a first class job on the rigging! Super clean boat bro! I like that there's NOT a bunch of wires all over the place

....gave me some more ideas for mine too!

I really wanted to copy my eliminator but as you can see Zack (i think thats his name) beat me to it!
Bummer...looks so f**king clean!! I don't like to copy. Im also tossing around other ideas as well.

Don't look at it that way he's trying to give you some motivation on how much more you can do to your gullwing.

Oh yea, I was just messing.
I have detailed pics of my old Eliminator that I will be using for alot of the rigging.

Dude I love the look of this boat. A black and white boat sounds boring, but when done right
Looking foward to seeing progress pics.

Thanks for posting up a pic of my old boat at my old house with a workshop...kinda rubbing salt in my wounds there dude!

I didn't meen anything by this remark. Just really missing that workshop right about now!!!

I really want to just paint it all white with black rub rail (like my old boat was) but there already is a white CP with black trim.

Goal: To have a 100mph 4 seater! I'd be so stoked with 90+!!!!
Color: Flat Blue/Black trim/motor/thru transom headers and everything else...Im over polishing!!
Maybe some white pinstriping done by my cousin (I told hiw he can have at it...).
Power: BBC, HP in the 650-750 range. Pump gas. Blower, tunnel ram, single carb...I don't know. Thats to far away. First will be addressing the structual integrity of the boat. Safety first!

Oh yea, I'm shooting for the next 4th of July to have it ready and at the river!

It's time to start back to basics here. I told myself when I bought this boat that I would run it/enjoy it untill it died then tear it all apart. Almost lasted a year (bought last Aug.2009). I bitched and moaned about the Oklahomo-nis of the rigging on the boat and I couldn't be happier to tear into this thing and start building it back up with all new hardware...lets just say that I have a pretty good vision in my head on how it will perform and look. Rigging? I'll admit it I will be stealing many ideas from Boost (dig your work bro!). Besides all that I cant wait to dive in...haven't had to since back in my Miller days!
I have a few pics to start off with.

some areas that will be addressed:

Some stress cracks

check out crack in passenger side stringer!

96 and up are Gen 6 I think.
Can you look into that for me.
My buddy is lookin for a block and what is if any over bore on the cylinders?

-beerjet-

I got my info from mortec. I did include the casting #'s. As far as bore...the block in my boat (block appears to be good, kicked rod out of the pan) is .030 over. The same exact block in my storage I will have to get my calipers out to find out for ya. I wont be home untill the weekend though.
