Is that at Ohio? Coworker was planning on going with is 2.5l stocker but didn't due to the weather, which ended up being nice anyway.
I'm currently boatless as of 2 weeks ago. Sold my darling 98 SPX because I just wasn't using it anymore.
We also had a 97 challenger 1800 which we sold when we had our first kid, looking to get something similar eventually. Perfect boat for this area (lots of shallow coves), fits in a garage, could be towed by a subaru. Did low 50s if all the carbs worked.
I have just started building an electric powered boat. Called the "Amp Eater", it's stitch and glue construction. I will post pics when I have some progress to show.

Yeah he was a little bummed this morning when I asked, since last week was a cram to get it ready. 18 hour drive there and back for questionable weather though, I don't blame him.

I would like to hit thunder in the mountains. That drive is killer though.
You guys missed the details. But the 17+ hour days for a few weeks thrashing on this thing finally paid off.

It's the ugly duckling for sure right now. I still need to do a little work on the deck, get some paint on it. And i'll probably wrap it.
Stickers are coming off, since nobody is paying me. The only advertisement that will probably be on there is the shop that is wrapping it.

Those 2.5s can seriously move. They looks like a ton of fun too.

It's a 5l boat so im limited by class rules. Im currently running a 305. Limited to a 2 barrel carburetor as well. Pretty much all stock. "pretty much"
It's an interesting setup.
Prop is dirrect drive from the front using a double chain on those sprockets. Nevermind the alignment we were still working at that.
Absolutely no accessories. Lol

If anyone is in or around New Martinsville West Virginia fathers day weekend, i'll be there running in a vintage race.
We could use people to help crew too. lol
I painted the boat... But it's getting a full wrap, as soon as i decide on a design. I'm having second thoughts on it, which isn't helping.
