I have a Squadron XII 27 (1982). Half done w/ it. 540 Merlin w/ a TRS. Race prepped borgie. I would like to see your progress. Mine was 100% structurally fine but needed everything else. I will post some pic's when I have a chance. Dyno'd the motor last month but only made under 500 so the motor got striped and the cam went back and was found to be the wrong cam. Got new cam today and will dial in and re-dyno. I believe this boat was in NH before I found and purchased from estate.
