Boat is looking good Loren

Thanks Billy, any news on what direction your headed for next year?

I dropped the block and heads off last Saturday , just waiting on the machine shop to give us an annwer on the block .
If I keep my tall deck block set up , I am going to put an oil cooler on it this time since the block is half filled with concrete ,

Thinking about going with a mild blower set up on a different engine . Just want something dependable and about 700-750 HP on pump gas .

Guess I haven't posted pictures for a while so here's a few from my Ft Gibson trip this summer. Met up with some fellow v-drivers and a jet or two.

Never saw a pic of your boat showing the interior before, that bench setup is pretty sweet....

Thanks, it's basically similar to the fiberglass buckets, a snap on vinyl cover with 2" foam, a center insert, and two side inserts and the here's a better view of the back.

I'll be damned, sure is. Pretty cool, hadn't seen one set up quite like that before.

Know what ya mean about the weather... Gotta say though the cooler weather recently has been a nice change. Boat runs good in the cooler air too. :grin:

Probably not I made it after seeing a TX-19 with a bench seat like that in the back. It was my attempt to pass the old Hondo off as a ski boat to my wife. LOL

Gene,

Not sure I'll make it up again this year but let me know when you guys head out just in case. I don't know of anybody looking for a t-handle but I post it up on the v-drive site if I were you.

Congrats on the progress  :smile22:


Oh isn't it about time to change your screen name? perhaps "jetless"?  :smile13:
