Thanks I can't wait either. If it is not a catisrophic failure I will have a new paint job as well.

Dont you mean you will top out at 45mph
Love the boat...looks bad ass
I am a supercharger guy, but have fought the urge in the Baja for now...reliable power is better than silly, but unreliable power. Although I cant rule out a Whipple on the 496HO someday
Good luck with the rebuild...next season we will have to go for a blast across the broads at a steady 45mph
