Headed to Parker tomorrow. See how it does. Feeling confident have taken it out a few times to bv. Had to end up buying a family boat last week cause the better half said it is no family boat no more

Good afternoon anyone have a 455 olds block that I can borrow to set up my rail mounts?

Got the fuel tank brackets glassed it and finished up the inside stringers and transom. Next step is get intake set and pump installed

A few more

Glass work done except for putting gas tanks in

Well getting ready to start the Avenger build. The boat belongs to a good friend and I am having the motor that he had in his garage built by DNE Motorsports and Development it is going to end up a 427 even though it start its life as a 396. Current motor is going to be pulled. The pump is a Berkeley JC and having MPD do the pump to match the 427. Should be a good little package to run the lake and river

Stringer

Well the intake is where I have had a water leak so I needed to reset it anyways and while it?s out get the shoe and ride plate. And it?s more of a safety issue I am hoping to solve because around 78 mph all the way till I lift on the throttle it gets a bad porpoise and I lift around 82ish and the motor has more to go so hoping to eliminate that and be able to send it and not worry about flying out

Should be getting the motor and intake back soon? we are going to resin the whole bottom of bilge metallic red to match the rest of the original paint and keep the nice finish on the wood grain
