Best of luck GT. With all the help and advice you provide to all of us, its about time you took some time for yourself to get that thing running. 
But I still dont believe it, I want to see video. 
Ohhhh, wait a minute. You said Southwind, isnt that your dads boat ? So you still dont have a running boat ? Get your AZZ out in the garage and get to work on YOURS !!!! 
Working every single day leaves little time (not to mention energy) to get my crap together...

Well....About the little jet (White Trash). I'm thinking seriously about running it in Nostalgia Jet. It all depends on what the machinist says about the parts I sent him...

I can't afford to spend a lot of $$$ on it, so that is how I am making my decision.
I have three BBC's, one has been running in the boat since I've owned it, the other two are retired marathon motors, so I should be able to come away with two "runners" with little to no
major expense.
As for the Southwind, we had some exhaust complications, these things are small and I had trouble getting the exhaust figured out...I think I have it all dialed in now.

I will try to at least get some pictures...
