    Now I get it. You're right, if it comes apart you're having a really bad day.

    Because it was going through teak, did you have to pre-drill every hole?

    Yes, I did have to pre drill every hole. It made for a fun afternoon. I origanally bought 50 screws thinking that would be plenty. 14 screws short. Back to the store for more stainless!

    I am working on the second engine. I want to put it on the run stand. Also, I am getting the Mag ready for the first engine to be installed. I have to make some return lines from the bulkhead to the filler tubes. Then install the water seperators and primer pump for my fuel injection. Once the engine is in the boat, I need to make some return lines from the engine to the bulkhead. Connect the fuel supply lines and I think I will be ready to run her in the boat. Then it's on to number two!

    Your shirts that match the boat deck are way cool. Sure makes it easy to walk up and say, "Are you Dirty Pearl?????"

    It was sure cool. I wish I had more time to chat there, but trying to get two boats ready to race, plus the parade, and the street party, etc didn't give me too much of an opportunity. I did love the subtle pics on the shirt. Made me do a double take right off the bat.

    Yep. First thing I asked him, after I asked are you the "Dirty Pearl" and introduced myself, is if the boat were there.

    No, saving up to go to Key West. We will be spectators only. SBI has a new rule, anything Supercharged must run P-1. So no more SBI for us.
