Got it up to boost's place today and got her all dialed in. Thanks to boost and dave at fuelcurvewest the carb is rebuilt and running strong. Also picked up boost's tunnel ram and his demon carb from him. Gonna run the current set up for a few runs then switch over to the tunnel and new carb (which was also dialed in by dave at fuel curve west). Found out a little more about the motor today too. Full MSD ignition system, dove c heads on it, harman marine headers, a mild cam, roller rockers and some mild head work done to it....Stoked to hear good news.

Well her maiden voyage on sunday to elsinore went good. It ran great for 3/4 of the day then one of my plug wires busted so i was dead in the water. Thankfully i was able to get a tow back in unfortunately the guy who towed me let his wife drive and I guess when your husband is standing on the swim platform its NOT a good idea to gas it really fast...lost a blackberry cell phone and a pair of $100 spy sunglasses....chitty. Got her home replaced the plug wires with the MSD Super conductor 8.5mm plug wires and she runs titties again. Got the trailer painted black now so it doesnt look like its poo brown

well finally got some more stuff done to the boat and some stuff prepped to be installed. Got the swimstep restained and sealed. got the trailer painted, got new plug wires in (since two of the other ones were busted), got the tunnel ram/demoncarb/scoop all assembled and ready to install. Here are a few pics of the recent changes.

the trailer got painted two days ago and now its going to rain. i guess she will get her first test today when it rains. the paint should hold up no prob.

I really wanted to try to wait and hold out this season and not do the interior but I got a good deal thats too hard to pass up so the boat is getting dropped off on sunday and will be back in a couple weeks. Its a buddy of mine in orange county. I will post pics when its done and maybe some of you guys will like his work. Also thinkin bout naming the boat "Happy Hour"

Price is slightly higher due to the new panels and replacing the wood. Total of 2020. Ill ask him if its cool if i post up his number. Ill be stopping by there periodically to take pics and ill post them up here.

sweet we got two crusader minidays in for interior. like i said my deal was 2500 out the door for the wood vynal panels foam and carpet. any color and style.

i would stop by and take some in progress pics but its too far for me to just swing by.

« **Reply #42 on:** April 20, 2009, 03:21:54 PM »

yeah bakersfield isnt really close to anything except for bakersfield. I am keeping the og interior and re-doing everything. I kinda like the older style seating. you seat more people. it was only another $100 to do captains seats and a rear bench.

« **Reply #43 on:** April 25, 2009, 07:14:45 PM »

Todd's phone number is 714-328-7445. He can do anything and everything if anyone is interested give him a call for a quote. tell him rob sent you

« **Reply #44 on:** April 27, 2009, 07:35:09 PM »

new interior update pics. sorry for the fuzzy photos they are from a cell phone.

« **Reply #45 on:** April 27, 2009, 08:29:57 PM »

Rob all you need to do is just post it on ONE thread

« **Reply #46 on:** April 27, 2009, 08:32:38 PM »

I know

I just wrote a new thread about the interior but then talked about it here so thought i should update them both.

« **Reply #47 on:** April 27, 2009, 09:14:02 PM »

wow looks good. my boat is two weeks into the new interior it should be done in two more weeks. i cant wait

« **Reply #48 on:** April 27, 2009, 10:05:16 PM »

You are switching to the newer style interior right? (buckets/bench in rear). How is the leg clearance going to be in the back seats? We took a few measurements and found that it would be really tight for the two ppl in back behind the captain seats. Thats why I opted to keep the seating arrangement.

« **Reply #49 on:** April 28, 2009, 07:08:16 AM »

it should be fine. i asked the interior shop about it and they said it was all good. so we will see. and yes i am updating it to the capt and a rear bench and full engine cover. should be nice. i should have some pics maybe next week. i am going to try to get up there while they are about half way done
