i've always loved the inxs fountain to. it's been converted to a poker run boat now. six buckets and three 1500hp engines

as for paint i was thinking Of the WARPATH, thats my favorite. We might do something of our own but it will deffinatly be in that style

I do the website for the rigger and motor builder of warpaint. The team is currently racing an apache Cat with twin big blocks. Very cool boat. I've seen the boat in the apache bandit paint scheme I haven't seen the boat in the warpaint scheme. You may want to check out www.historicraceboats.com tons of information on the old boats. Not many apache's there but you could paint it as Benihana even though it really was a cigarette. Lots of these boats on that site are being restored. The engine builder I was talking about above restored Dry Martini. http://www.kurtsmarine.com/drymartini.html

another little update....
i got some parts in and mounted up the trimtabs and assembled the flex cables. i also got the motors so this week at school its time to go to the metals shop and make some big aluminum clamp style mounts on the mill.

[justneedspeed]

them motors look huge. Nice build it look awesome when its done

[Eyekandyboats]

what size flex shafts are you running ?
i hope 1/4 inch stubs step'd down
or at lease .187

[peells]

Don't try painting it on that counter top ma ma will have your rear on a spit. And are you doing your own painting? I can't wait to see it when it is finished,
it sounds like a screamer take a video.

.150 not big enough but i've seen this motor and cell count on this cable. The boat probally wieghed half what this will though so i'll switch to .187 when theese break.

thanks for the kind words others.

as for paint we plan on having the sides gelcoated to color match our real boat

Skidoo
Would you mind getting some measurements for me?
Are those the Speedmaster struts?

Could you measure from where the drivedog meets the prop to the transom
Also i need a measurement of the height of the strut. (footprint on the transom side)
