wow that's purty. This is going in what kind of boat?
Nice, very nice. It's been a while but I used to work at JR.Custom Marine, built Sonics. Man that was a long time ago, not even sure they still exist. We had twin blown Mercs. Going down the intercoastal at 85 is an experience :eek:

Yes they do and still are very popular, a nice boat.. I love going fast on the water, it is in the blood, just have to have a lil bit of sense, be able to predict the water a bit. Dad did it for 45+ years, were doing this together. He was running a 18 ft(fraz) drag boat 129 in the1/4 back in 79 :eek2:

Cool, we were the first to put v8 outboards on in the country if that helps date it. I assembled the hulls, bulkheads etc. it was a crappy dirty nasty job but I learned alot.
I raced for a long time, if sailing counts :lol:
