    Thanks for the props, only gray boat I've seen. The thing handles like a sports car while cruising, runs straight and true at speed. Very predictable. As for power has a 509 BBC, duplicated a Reher-Morisson combination but we have better heads, more cam, and better intake! Yes, we are going to...

    I would be stoked if it ran an 8.90 to 9.10, we can tune around that quite easily. As an old school hot rodder it hurts to have to slow down and this thing maybe a bitch to slow down. My oldest son will eventually wind up pointing her doesn't want to run 8's!!! Taco boy, kick your Dad in the...

    We had Pete lay it up at 550lbs so we could use as a lake boat too however, it's primary purpose is to run TE or 9.0s. For the powerplant we replicated a Reher-Morrisson 509 Sportsman engine with a few minor changes, 1/2 a point less compression (14:1), better heads (Brodix BB2+ ported and...

    Poncho, Dan Lemons had the headers coated after he built them for us by Brite Hot Coatings in Fresno (559) 233-1461 www.capsbhc.com. Thanks for the props on the boat, I'll post up a few pictures after we get all the pretty stuff done. BTW the coating is called CermaKrome.

    I'm hoping the gray boat is faster, however I don't think it's gonna have an 8.70 in it. I would like to see an 8.90-9.0, that way I don't have to slow it down that much! Sure looks good with some hardware in it!:D They are truely craftsmen!!!! Thanks for the pics RB, Dave

    WOW!!!!!!! That is pretty! Finally get to see it out of the mold. Talked with Pete earlier this week said the deck was getting glued on this weekend (looks like it's already happenning) and we're just waiting on a few trailer parts. Now I've got to get my sh*t together and get the garage ready...

    I do hope that between black boats, a gray boat finally comes out of the mold:hmm. I'm sure it's gonna be a little rough to make the trek but a picture or two would be nice, Thanks RB:D

    I do like carbon fibre, had it between the stringers of the Kurtis. We must be getting close to coming out of the mold. Can't wait to see the Alky flat, the hardware alone was awesome just machine finished:D
