Thanks guys! I'm glad I found this website. I'm not sure about my skills, but i'm sure about my passion for fast boats. I will keep you posted on my rebuild progress. There is one more weekend of racing left in my region, so a lot of shop time after that!

Took a break this weekend from the itchy process of removing the core. Went to Kentucky and participated in the APBA Modified Central divisionals. I competed in the 850cc class and finished 2nd. The weather was perfect and the competition was tough.

Here are a couple videos from Saturdays racing:
