    I know you're going to laugh, Robert, but I think he does... :redface: I'd have to ask.

    Southwind Tunnel Dragster
    19 ft on tandem trlr with new stainless fenders and recent wiring and bearings.
    New seats by Martinez, bottom by Quality Fiberglass Repair.
    468 ci BBC. Approx 10 to 1 compression, 990 heads, Weiand Tunnel with 2 800 double pumpers. MSD distributor, coil, and 6al. Crane rollers, comp mechanical roller (CB 285C-R8) with .638 and .622.
    Steel crank, Milodon Gear drive, and 10 qt pan.
    Berkley pump with a B impeller, ride plate and shoe. Mech diverter.
    Mechanically this thing is 9 plus. Cosmetically I’d say an 8 (looks great from 10 ft).
    In the process of dialing the hardware in by working with Greg Shoemaker.
    That's about what I got Doug. The hardware has changed some more since these pics, and the ass is up some more. He's hesitant to get it too far up, as it's not a race boat, just a play boat. If you have any questions, just give him a call. He's old and wierd (my Dad) but he'll talk to you.

    No GPS #'s yet, (my GPS got stolen when my car did) but word on the street is low 90's. Not sure about that as I have only seen him run it from the shore. It's faster than my boat, and with a tailwind and no other passengers, I'm in the very low 80's.
    Another thing he didn't list is that this thing is all plumbed for nitrous. No solenoid/ or bottle, but the lines and plates are there and the engine was supposedly built with that in mind.
