How about a re-rig on my Tahiti, here's the before pic

Here's the new engine
429.jpg


Should have the engine in place on Tuesday, drill the transom for the headers, the Glenwood logs are going to a new home, got my Bassets all ready to go!

Interior and new cables to follow shortly, the weather's getting warm and I'm tired of working on this damn thing :swear

What else is being worked on? Who's ready for the River?

81 18' haskell jet with a Berkeley 12 jc, old pictures, pump in progress right now, bead blasted entire pump and repainted gloss black, bowl stuffer, loader, black place diverter, boat is stupid light, full stringer, putting bbc in it, prob 498 with large oval 781's or 990's port match everything, put some over the transom's on it and run the hell out of it. Supposedly is a fast hull. Changed steering, gauges, shifters. Motor in process.

I'll be redoing the interior hopefully this spring. I'm taking it down to Havasu to iron out some of the bugs end of March/Begining of April.

Let me throw my Stevens in for being probably the oldest and slowest. Up for sale, but I'll enjoy it 'til it's gone.

And one is a little more dangerous than the other too.

How hard is it going to be to get a cert (FAA) on a homebuilt jet ?

Me and a buddy, putting along.

Was a good day for some speed (for this boat anyway). Humid, cooler, a little wind chop, advanced and slightly lean.

This pics shows the boat pretty wet, but, it's a freakin heavy boat and I may need to dial the pump in a little more. Know any good pump guys? My best speed didn't come during this pic, obviously. About a 4 foot tail is best for my boat. This pic.......I was just having some fun;)
