Well it's a bit rigged right now, but hey she runs atleast! I won't post any pics of the interior (yes there are lawn chairs screwed to the floor right now!) LOL, but I'm working on the interior designs!! :D
Ran a wopping 43mph on the GPS, so I have a long way to go to try and reach that 60+ mark! But it's a bone stock 460, with a jacuzzi YJ (energizer kit), so it can only go faster from here! This thing rides like a caddy across the rough though, Folsom lake doesn't seem nearly as bad in this boat! Here's some shot's of it......

I used to have a challenger 19, it was a hull. Not the lightest, but it did very well in the waves. My friend now has it and it has only one speed no matter the conditions WOT.

Hey sleek, I should be there! Just gotta change the oil, and it should be go to roll. You'll probably find Fomoco in the passenger seat (err lawn chair, hehe), his boat is all jacked and torn apart. No way he'll be ready! :D
Yo Jake,
I picked it up for a whole 800 bucks! Bought a complete rebuilt 460 with a performer intake, demon carb, an fittings, etc for 600 bucks. Another few hundered in the motor plates and some nuts and bolts, and a lil elbow grease. That's it so far!
