Superdave and HB Jet helped me get 90% of the plumbing for the water and fuel systems on the boat done on friday. Then i took the weekend off to spend time with my girl. I should have it wired and fired this week barring any unforseen problems. I'm hoping to get out to the water sometime later this week. Ming is up in the air at this point. I'd like to get some seat time in the boat before i go race it and if i go, i may have to sleep in the truck! Damn if all that SS line isn't expensive! :D

I just got into the boat mood last week.I ripped my interior out and single seated it.Got a pop-off valve and getting my new pedal assembly made as we speak.I will have a busy 2 weeks to get it finished.With the weather it might not be to bad to sleep in the truck.I am bringing a big bbq pit with me so you can come eat with us.I will probally be staying out their too.If your bringing your girlfreind or need to shower your more than welcome to use my house.I actually moved to bakersfield and am thinking about staying at the track.Go figure.The track is just bad ass!

Hey Mike, does Superdave have fittings back in stock? I've been holding off on the plumbing in hopes that he'd get some in. I pm'd him last week, but he didn't reply back.

John,
I have not gotten them in yet.
I have been getting some inventory but it seems to be comming in pretty slow. I should have recived all the hose by now but so far only -6 has showed up. The NPT adapters that was a 5 day lead time (shipping from FL to CA) seems to be moving pretty slow too. I've gotten about half of the order and I'm pissed about the other half. I've been bugging them every other day about it too.
The hose ends are still on track for the end of the month. (the latest delayed date :mad: )
I've pretty much taken down any reference to hose ends as it's just frustrating me. If I'm not ready to rock by the end of the month I'm going to freaking flip out on someone.
I'll let everyone know when I'm rolling and plan to have a big kick off sale. For the people that can't wait I understand.
I hate to put what I have now on peoples boats as I have changed the colors and finish a bit. Cyclone didn't care about that as he seems the have every brand, color and finish on his boat already.

Thanks for the update Dave. I'm kind of waiting for the tax return before any more $eriou$(upholstery & plumbing) work anyway. The timing should be about right. I'll watch for the kick off sale!
Sorry for the thread hijacking :( .

I priced my stuff on Summit's website using the wish list feature. It totals over $600.

well today was not a great day. I broke a spindle on my Tundra while running through Barstow so that will pretty much wipe out my racing funds for March. Guess i'll have to wait until April. :yuk:

Hmmm, the Tundra seemed to hold up just fine for me this last weekend. BTW, thanks for letting me borrow it.

What's up Travis? Both Josh and my boat are in the shop at this moment. It turns out that the only thing wrong with my motor was the carb. My engine managed to shift forward a little so I am having that fixed too. I should have my boat back this weekend and Josh will probably have his back at the end of the month.
We are renting some spots @ the Riviera for our boats this summer. Don't feel like driving two trucks and towing two boats all summer long. Our first trip this year will be to the Riviera the first weekend of April.
I saw your engine on the other thread looks bas ass!!
