launched the carmotor boat
Eliminator test & tune
1st off, it floated, ran well, idled in gear.
Needs a little massaging (I know a guy that can help)
Overall, I wish all my projects ran this well first time out.

It was getting pretty late . It was past my dinner time ( missed my nap too ) . It took a little team work , but Todd D. , Mike B . and I used a little team work and we were able to get their pair of 300xs blocks square decked and final finished honed .
Naturally I took the supervisor's position …..
So today …. Frank Mole comes pulling up and catch's me by complete surprise ..
He say's .. this is from your buddy Steve in California . ( honestly I didn't get it , yet .. duuu ) Goes by "NICE PAIR" on S+F ….. Ohh , OK .. Humm , Chaz = wonderin what it could be …
Straight from Dortoni's on Long Island …. 
A dozen canoli shells …
And a real deal , genu-wine bag of ricotta filling …..
Steve , Many Thank's you and your brother . That was really nice of you guys .

Bad ass!
I'd rather be competitive w/junk I built in my garage than win w/stuff I bought.
I refuse to allow common sense to interfere w/my boat buying decisions.

I'll bet that drive cost more than all my boats put together. Very impressive set-up.

You didn't stand a chance Chaz, it was a well orchestrated team that took you down.
I want to thank vnemous & tux974 for planning, and Frank Mole for delivering the final punch.
