Nice work, good to see it saved.  Looking forward to seeing the metric in a restored condition as well.

Truly a labor of love as you thought through each step of the restoration.  You can be very proud of the finished product, especially seeing what you had to start with. Knowing you, there are many modifications left and a certain speed goal to attain. Again, a job well done.

LOOKS GREAT! I am sure you'll have no problem finding a way to hit 70 either.
That second picture is awesome!

Doug I'm coming down there next week how are you going to take me for a ride with one seat? You know an interior guy that can sew up an extra bucket quick like.

I think this has become an addiction.

Thanks Jason. Still need some more seat time, but gettin more comfortable with it. Solid mounts and sticking the lwp/nose cone on are next on the list.

My CVZ used to wheelie really bad.  Turns out I needed a prop with stern lift.  The four blade cured that behavoir.  Maybe something similiar going on?

So I get to take the boat for the day. And all I was looking for was a ride.
