Now that i have a boat that runs and will run even better when dialed in.. I want to thank  the people who have helped make this happen ;)

First i have to thank Omar (Beerjet).......Thanks for bringing me the Heartbeat of my new boat , and sending me care packages to go along with it and get it together... along with some shared pm's giving me info on what to do..

Omar.....I love you man  :-*

Another member i am in debt to is Elwood (429heads) without him , my engine would probably still be sitting on a stand.. Elwood has helped me time and time again and this time we did it.. Now i have a new set of heads with SS valves. Thank you for your time and stories i enjoyed every bit of it....

Ralph Brunt.. I want to thank you for donating parts for my build, every little bit helps and you helped a bunch.. from our phone conversations to our pm's.. Thank you!

Brad , for not banning me for the last year maybe two years of confusion  O0

Crewchief22 for all the info and offering to rebuild my carb .. Thank you.......

Pw_Tony thank you for everything you have  done to help out, much appreciated ;)

Now we have Propless , you always get me back into the game when im ready to say F-it.... I look up to you for that ;)

Now i could make another 40 page thread of thank you's to everybody , but you already know who you are...

(Lucky Stiff ;) you started all this) , HDriderTH , 1980Nordic , Forkedup , Boost , Glasscutter , GT jets , OC2Vegas ,  76Nordic  dizzy in back ;D  , Ryan Brindle , 82daytona , Flytime , Gofastracer , Moneypit , Jim Rich , obnoxious001 , So.Bay*310* , IRRebel , Jetboatperformance has helped me out A TON ;)
Everybody here has either been hands on with the build or giving out sound advice/info
Now i know im missing some peeps , but i just want to say thank you to all SoCalJetboats members.......

We fukin did it 8)

Wow this news just tops off a great weekend.  Good job Steve AND all the other guys that made this possible and eventually real.   Now don't flatten the cam, don't forget the plug and life jackets for the kids, fire extiguisher, and tags.  Go get her wet and buy you lady something really nice for putting up with all your nonsense  :-*

You did it Steve! Congratulations! Sounds really NICE, nice lope to it, good cam. Now lets get it on the water and figure out this Dizzy thing once and for all, lol. I'm bringing the Moo boat!  This summer! Let's do it!

I have a regulator for you, if you need it BTW.

awesome. i have the same boat but it has a 532 ford in it and its an 84(its for sale too!). it ran good but its a heavy boat. after we set the pump back, put a shoe and rideplate on it,  it rode 1000 times better.

It's yours if you need it, n/c, just Pm the addie Steve. I bought the Holley pump and reg thinking my mechanical wasn't going to keep up with my setup. It does fine, 7 1/2 lbs across the board. Just gonna leave it alone for now  ;D
