Whoever said that?

Checked on sep today, the boys at clear lk marina are doing a outstanding job! glad I had an old cc guy finishing the wiring. Attention to detail on there part is second to none!!

thats a good question, its been a debate for some time now! there are some members that think its going to be a turd. i have higher hopes tho! im pretty sure it will be the fastest cc so far! let the debate begin. lol

good morning all! well finally getting to finish this boat. the last month has been really busy working on the sep, sat it goes to clear lk marina to have some finishing touches done. some finish wiring and out drive rigging, will post some finished pics when i get her back, and a video of the first firing and running of the motor!its been a long haul on this project,really pumped to see it on the water! will keep ya posted!

Ha, nice to see an update on this project!
That looks really nice Jeff.
Keep the pictures coming

Well long time coming, started working on the sep again! been waiting on the spacers for the headers that a local machine shop been working on for the last 5 months. when headers came thay were for the small valve covers on the small block chevy,s do to having a roller valve train i needed taller valve covers, hence the spacers being needed. here is a shot of the headers test fit with valve covers finally fitting and able to be removed if necessary.

Jeff any new pics of the progress or are you working on the Boat Barn ?

Diamond plate alluminum new gauges chrome x white with the old besels, thay match the stereo really well. just kidding on the diamond plate will be covered in vinyl, black. the old bezels are black, thinking of chroming them all the wiring should be done this weekend, we have pulled over 700 ft of wire for everything from the engine to the kitchen sink. all the interior is back except the scoops, thay had to be repaired do to serious damage around the edges, 1 day work on those babys alone. its been said here many times a tru labor of love!

Really starting to come together Jeff-CMI was the right choice-pricey,but you get what you pay for-when you have time can you email the '72 V Drive pics to me -thanks

Jeff Looks great
I need some work done does she have a business name?

Jeff, I just noticed no exhaust holes in the transom. Seems that that boat is just calling out for through hull exhaust rather than through hub. Any thoughts of doing that?

Impressive work, anxious to see the final product.

Question: Where can you find the polished marine alternator. I've seen auto ones, but not marine.
