Let the games begin. I bought the Gullwing from Mauzer.
I have been searching hi and low for parts and deals. Thanks Mike Trujillo for 468 BBC>>>>
I will keep the pictures coming.
I started with $2,000.00 and Im coming up on $6,500.00 very fast.
The boat is getting fiber glass work done now. Re capping the boat as well as some other goodies.
Ron and I should be rigging the boat by next Wed...
Monday we are taking it to upholstery for measurements.
Our first river trip of every year is in Parker 1st week of March.. Should be solid 2 weeks before.
Lets see what you got Ron...
Oh by the way this is the first time I have done a whole boat LMAO huh.

Nice! on the 2nd pic is hard to see but looks like a chrome rod whats that for.
-
That rod is part of the steering linkage. It pushes/pulls on a lever that transfers the motion through the transom to the tiller arm. There's more pics of it in the "for sale" ad over at RiverDavesPlace
-
That steering system has been pulled and traded. I glassed in all the holes on the dash. And I am going with a basic steering system for replacability.
-
Here is a photo of the dash and the steering system.

What no thanks to me for hooking Mike up with the sweet deal so that he could hook you up on that 468??? That motor treated me excellent as my spare while my new one was built two years ago. The guy I bought it from didn't have all the setails on it but here is what I know. TRW pistons with small dome, scat crank, comp hydraulic marine cam, 781 heads ( have a bit of work done to them and you wont be sorry they are good heads for what they are), 10 qt pan hamburger, not sure on the rods. Make sure you put those 660's ( I would go 750's but thats me ) on that tunnel ram (nothing smaller) and you should be in the ball park of 550-600 hp. That should do just fine in your new found hot rod. Have a great time putting it all together. We are gonna have fun this summer!!!

UPDATE!!! Don't leave us hangin man. We need pics!!!

Boat was flip and the bottom was worked. All new white gel coat..
