just installed new taneau covers, black sunbrella, ss snaps...still haven't propped it out...this is killin me not being able to finish this project, fuel regulator in & 4.5 lbs no bleed over, can't believe after two months NO COMMENTS !!!!! I know V/8's arent that popular to some, but fit's this boat perfect for the price, not a ARGO or TWISTER widebody, but a cool hot-rod for 25% of the cost...tell me what you think good or bad...need motivation to finish it thanks DON

UPDATE....yesterday went to boat and finished alot of small stuff, installed battery disc, installed new fuel regulator, (first on took a S*&$ just looking at it)installed rear light, checked both bildge pumps, reached over turned the key and she FIRED RIGHT UP...wow did that make me feel good, been sitting awhile now....after following this 24 TWISTER post has motivated me to put this OLD SCHOOL version to the test...she's about to make her maiden voyage...I'm missing all these COOL events...

thanks B...got a 26p "DENNIS" chopper big ears xtr cup thinking about drilling it out to fit OMC, also got a 4-blade 26p MASCO needs drilled, 28p ET OMC, 29SRX and 34 CLEAVER...put a OMC 25 4-blade on it now...wondering on how it will react on true tunnel V/s V bottom...I kept the front light, hopeing to fly the nose a little, they all seem to porpoise somewhere so may have to adjust balance as I go.
