Oh, ok! Most of that same crew from Hotboat are currently regulars on performanceboats.com For some reason River Dave has failed at recruiting all those guys over here.:D

I was just curious know how it runs with it set up like that? Has he ever ran through the lights? I am building a Tr4 that looks to have the same blower and intercooler. I was just wondering what the boat looks like on a pass. I think I saw some where that it was supposed to be an outboard and Cole ended up building it into a Vdrive.

I watched that boat run out at Parker in October 09, he was picking off a lot of boats, seemed pretty dam quick and was turning some high RPM's

The motor sure is set way back. Especially for it being a small block, I would think it would need to be even farther forward than if it was a big block. Guess it works.:thumbsup

Ya the motor is set back because it has a turbo 400 trans in it. thats how it was when he bought the boat and it has back to back seating. it was suppose to be a outdrive but then they made it a v-drive. this boat is not a runner bottom it is more like a semi vee/flat. the boat runs/handles just fine though the way its set up.

Nice! I've seen this boat at Echo but never noticed it had a tranny in it. Bitchen boat, I like the thru transom exhaust look. :thumbsup
