Getting Ready

[Wil Ros]

For the first time in almost three years the boat is in the sun. Larry just picked up the boat from Page Racing . Now the process begins to get it ready.
What is everybody else doing to get ready for the season?

Colby is still working on our boat in Texas. Cutting in a notch on the bottom and moving some weight. Some say it wont work and some say it will. Its a ton of work but Colby is up for the challange. All this work is with in the OSS,OPA and P1 rules. The boat will weigh 4750 post race. Same motor,drive and props at this point. Trying to catch up to the compatition.

We got our boat put back together just in time to take it for display at the Miami show. We'll begin testing next week in search of MPH for the OSS season opener in Biloxi in May.

The last ones for today.

Larry adjusted the new trailer bunks to the boat and tomorrow he will start on replacing small items like bilge pumps.

I will post progress pictures as Larry does his magic!!!

After I saw a new Mercury blue one was $600 I went to the local alt re-builder and crossed it over with a new one for $200. I think they are Denso. Probably not legal though, cause it didn't come from Mercury

Hey willie,Its awesome to hear that you guys will be out there racing again.Good luck this year and I hope that some of the other idle SVLs will get back in the water also.

[Wil Ros]

Mark,

I will check on that but I beleive that all external accessories can be interchanged.

We don't have anything on the schedule at this point, and boat is for sale.

I have been focusing on working on our pleasure boat, and started to racing cross country dirtbikes.

We will see what later in the year brings.

Does anyone know who else is planning to attend the Biloxi race? SVLs specifically. Sure would be nice to see the Kostalacs back out there

I have worked on Larry, and John the last couple of years.:beatdeadhorse5: The only way to see the green boat out will be with new owners. 08 was a fun year.
