Congratulations Chet.
I have personally seen and ridden in this boat and its defiantly something else. 80+ mph on his local lake sitting on the Nitrous bottles and it rode straight as an arrow and smooth as could be. All that hard work more then paid off if you ask me.

Gotta love the electrical tape numbers in the 1st picture.
The new numbers look much better.

Thanks guys, it means a lot coming from stream owners!
I went into this rebuild knowing little to nothing about fiberglass, just what not to do. I talked to the right people at Express Composites and they sent me in the right direction. Once I started it was nice to post pictures and get encouragement and a little prodding from you guys. In the end it turned out better than I expected and WAY OVER budget but I like it. I will continue to do little things 'cus a project is never done.
This is one of my favorite pictures, just done buffing for the first time.

the more i look at this boat i am just more and more astounded at how nice it really is. it may be purpose built for 1/4mile racing, but it is by far one of the nicest i have ever seen. keep up the good work chet. its a remarkable ride
