haha!  thanks tom....i like my key floaty too!  i wish i could've got more pics in the water for you guys, but winds were blowing about 15-20mph and gusting about 30.....so needless to say, the water was boiling!  tried to launch her just for shits and giggles and could barely make it out of the pier with out swamping the boat :banghead:.  might take her out again today, water permitting.

18 Tahiti w/ 455 Olds and Berk JC with jetovator.  Looks like its gonna be after x-mas, but plans are to strip the boat down, new paint, rewire, new gauges, rebuild motor, Place diverter, sport bowl via Tom, droop, possibly upgrade to SS impeller, rebuild pump, new interior, new carpet, reglass the cap and possibly....if I get ambitious and with a lot of guidance from Tom, a pump setback :sly:.  Also considering tossing the Olds and slapping in a good ole BBC!  I think I also forgot to mention that a Ford shall NEVER drop into this boat ;D
