[inbetween]

If you just want to resize, Microsoft image resizer works well

[tomcei]

[Dude! Sweet!]

[Bodyshot1]

And Sonic Boom to Germany maybe? Plus a few 24s. LukiPal's old 28 can be seen in the "509 on the dyno" post. I love the new interior on it!

[opa]

i will have to get somebody to post pic's for me cause i don't know how to do it

[Dude! Sweet!]

Hey Bill, if you select the "Go Advanced" option to post, another screen opens up. You can type text in, then below that there's a box that says "Manage Attachments".

Click that and it will open a new window that has three boxes at the top that are blank and a "browse" box next to them. You can click on browse and go to the file in your computer with the photos, select the photo you want and click on it. You're allowed to attach 3 photos (three browse boxes). And then select download (or something like that). When it says it's completed, close that window and go back to the page with the text box (separate window where you started) and click submit.

[Dude! Sweet!]

Otherwise, you're welcome to email them to me at PAI_Racing "at" hotmail.com and I'll post 'em up. No problemo!

For the record, it was posted by SLP Kyle. I mean don't get me wrong, I "like" Bill's boat I'm just not "in like" with it. :sifone:

[Fast Shafts]

The Simply Awesome boat is now overseas-I think in Swedan.

[slpcamaross97]

things get out of hand when dealing with multiple time zones, we can blame sean, he wakes up the latest.:)

Damn...

[Mange]

I think you're remeber OK Dude!:sifone:

I had this boat from Bruce may 2006. I bought it complete less engine. I tok a brand new Chevy crate ZZ572/620hp and my friend and motor guy did some job on it, new inconel valves, etc etc and a big 14q pan, bigger oilcooler etc. Dynod to 631hp gave us 80mph straight out in rough sea.
Pulled the engine and sold her october to Finland where the new owner hopes to splash her again this summer.

The ZZ572 (now with screw) have served my Arrow 3 years now...

Some pics
Don't mind the colored headers and duck tape over the oil fill :sifone:

Why do I feel like We've had this conversation before ?? :rofl:

Talk about time zones & getting a thread tweaking.. I see the thread over a half a year late & it takes a dude posting from a day ahead of me to notice the thread.. Not to get a thread off track or anything but that crap was funny !! Besides what can I say the cats Arrow is majorly sweeeeetttt !!!

[LittleDcsRodShop]

"Don't mind the colored headers and duck tape over the oil fill :sifone: "

Mange: Are you sure your not from TN ??? Did you run those bassets completly dry ?? or were they injected ?? I remember seeing them before in pics & they caught my eye but I never asked..

Scotty, yes I'm pretty sure I lay on my couch right now in Stockholm capital of Sweden :bump:
The headers are watercooled ofcourse. We did a very "smart" :rolleyes: solution on the water pickup. 1 big pipe on the transom and from that one 1 to the engine and 1 to the intercooler. A very stupid thing couse raw waterpump sucked the intercooler clean from water and ofc a lot of air and for not mention the ejector effect at speed.... :leaving:
Thats why it looks like that. A big hp loss as well. but now it's correct done.

pickup before and after ( a nice q&d mount of the modded one )

[Mange]

thanks pepe

Very nice boat :) What engines do you have in her? must be hell of A ride!!
What speed do you see? Tell me is she a little bit heavy on her back with twins i/o? I had a 28 Race 3 man to with single, great boat but some times little bit heavy on her nose.. :sifone:


/Mange

[opa]

2 500hp motors just a little over 80mph boat is a little on the heavy side but i love it, i see why pepe gives a lifetime warranty, i have tried i cannot break it

[bigboat28]

[opa]

The pick up on the boat looks really good..

I asked about those headers because they look just like the Basset's that are injected & not jacketed..

[POWERPLAY33]

[JAIME]
