Looks amazing, really like the cowl. How big is that lip ? Looks really big in the pic but I think that might just be the angle of the photo.
Can't wait to see this boat run.

Who built the gas tank ?

Thanks! the lip is .060 or 1/16". It was what was recommended to me and I figured it was always much easier to sand off than to add on. I Ordered the gas tank through summit. It's a 2" sump tank, I welded on 2 channels on the bottom though to keep the tank level to offset the 2" sump.

So the latest update. The motor is on and all of the wiring is finished (trim pump, fuel pump, gauges, wire harness) gas tank is all in too. The only things left are to attach the wing plates and pulleys at the motor end (all the pulleys are in up front) and to get some fuel hose to connect the gas tank to the pump and to the motor. Otherwise the rest is done and shouldn't be long from this point. Huge shoutout to Top Gun for helping me out yesterday and getting a good chunk of the rigging done.

And here's some videos of the first fires. The one video has the throttle stuck open a little bit so its a little bit more...."peppy" hahaha

And not too sure as of yet. Just waiting for pulleys but sometime in May I would think.

I cannot wait to hear how this thing goes! Definitely the coolest build I could even think of. I think you will be impressed with how easy it is to drive for the most part... What is that Powerhead? a 245?? :mrgreen: :shock:
