Ya I am hoping that raising the drive gives me 4 or 5mph but we will see. Hopefully another 4 or 5 from the HP increase and maybe 1 or 2 by truing the hull. Thats what I am hoping for any way we will see how it turns out. I may have found a 400 sbc that I might go pick up. $50 for the complete motor it spin a main bearing and is tore apart. The price is right thats for sure.

So 400 small block it is. Found a block, heads, crank, and rods for 50.00 so I picked it up. I figure if anything I could even scrap it and get my 50 back.

Nice find for the price Shawn! If the block is not cracked its a really great find.

One big benefit for you is that you can always make more money. What with your day job and all the side stuff (painting, bodywork) your income is only limited to your time, which I don't see you having much of in the "spare" category.
After seeing what you did on your CVX, I'd like to talk to you about painting my 61 Surflite but that is down the road.

I got my Pen Back and the nickle I dropped!!!  Also 1997 Dodge truck for sale just installed a new dash old one was cracked. I picked up a suburban for the new tow vehicle.


 Finally got the last of the "other Projects" done and the boat is back in the garage. Time to make some progress

Went and bought the wood for the cradle I am building to hold everything straight while I am replacing the stringers.  I also had a straight edge on the hull and it has a decent Hook built into the back 6" or so of the hull. Looks to be about the same amount of hook that Red took out of the Scimatar That will have to come out and hopefully there is a couple MPH in there.

I'll be interested to see how that SB 400 runs/performs in your boat. They are supposed to be a really good engine for marine use. Should move it along nicely.

Got some more done this week. The cradle built, got the top removed, and a few more stringers out. Should have all the stringers out tomorrow and prob start the grinding. If anyone would like to volunteer for the grinding let me know I have more than one grinder.

You have a nice camera that filters out all the white dust in the air.

When I did all the grinding and sanding on Wet Raider, I set up the leaf blower on high and rigged it on the rungs of an A-Frame ladder to carry all the dust away ...
