Right now it's budget.
Currently unemployed due to the move out here, and cautious about spending any money at this point.
Dude is rolling...
Well, I'll let him answer that - he had some "goings on" recently.

Hah! Yah, Bouy owns my old 24 Pantera, the 28 Pantera with the stripe was my boat until about a week ago. It had an NA 575 with an IMCO SC drive. We were using a hand thrower (well two hand throwers since some drunk MF accidentally threw one in the ocean try to toss a clay).

Now that 28 is in Knoxville TN and these two have come to live with me...
I couldn't decide whether I liked the 24 or the 28 better.

Everybody needs 2 boats right?
That way you always have at least one that works- usually.
Sounds like maybe the old ride was getting tired if it wouldn't idle after running it hard.
I wanna ride in the new one- whats the mill?

It's a 10 hour old motor... Had a rocker stud pull out of the head on the run over to the island. Funny thing though, it only dropped about 500 - 600 rpms and still ran 70 with 4 guys in the boat, just wouldn't idle. Ha ha ha.
I'm going to run the 24 for now and do a little primping and pimping on that as I run it, over the summer.
I'm planning on running my 575 in the race boat (Although I've got a couple other ideas too...) It's going to be a little slower process since I've got to refresh the motor and have a few other rigging things I want to do with it. So I probably won't really dig into that one until the fall. I've got most all of the parts for it, but need to find the time to get it done (and still have some fun while it's warm out!).

phuuuuccckk- never had that happen, Ive had a rocker arm fall off completely though the sound emanating was brutal. Sounds like it was still pushing open a bit or it would have been making some serious clatter.
24 looks pretty sweet too- Ill bet there is a lot of room in the rear with the clamp-ons powering it.
On another note heres our Glamis "winter" set up- 700 raptor and kfx-450
Looking forward to getting together to drink and lie bout how fast we used to be.
At 42 I dont heal anymore and feel like I dropped an exhaust valve- intake still working well.

Sean, I'm looking forward to some running time in the raceboat.

Plenty of room for everyone to poop their pants in the race boat!
Man, those are some bad rides Uncle Dave! Here's a couple of my winter toys... I'm 38 and after 33 years of hockey, boxing and rugby, I feel like I've put a rod out the side (so to speak, ha ha) but I'm still having fun with plenty of years to go!

And very cool that the GF/old lady is down with all of it! My wife is "tolerant"
By the way, love the hay-hauler look on your Lavey. I do remember seeing it at the show. Nice rig! I'd thought about doing something similar on the 24, just for fun.

Cool GF definitely helps....
The Karts are an absolute blast! I ve ridden on 100's a bit, and a 250 shifter once.
The 100 was about smoothness- the 250 was incredible.
We're hooking up for sure.

Fortunately, the whole reason for the move was the wifes promotion, so I'm still getting by.

Almost always out of Del Rey, its 6 miles from my house.
I stopped at Huntington a couple of times to check it out and see how close I could get to a navy destroyer (in retrospect not to bright but it was awesome) and looked around- cool area. Thats where the sunset pict was taken.
speaking of looking a little closer- you've got that go kart fairly far sideways and the right front wheel is off the ground!

Yah, showtime on the kart... It ended in the barriers!
The inlet to Huntington Harbor often has some interesting stuff in it...
