Hey Guy's ...

I been giving the Scimitar another work-over, thought I'd throw up a few pic's to bore ya with.

I built another motor tor the boat so when I go up to New York I can out-run Walt,  it's a 387cid stroker, 440hp with  500 pounds torque, got it fired up and had an intake manifold issue, got it worked out now and it's running good,

And ... here's a video of my other motor in Barb's Intimidator

I have scraped off all the old clear coat that was put on the hull, I never liked the green in that, and it was beginning to peel when the hail storm came and finished it off.  I got some new flake, several sizes, and some that is almost identical to the original color, but larger flake.  I took the windshield down to Frankie, at Eaton Quade plastics, he's going to us it for a mold to make some more.

I should have the boat back in the water in a few weeks, gettin ready for another river trip up the Arkansas river with George and a few other friends, so I gotta stay hooked up. 

Here's a few pic's ... and the lake ?  where did it go ?

Yes, and believe it or not, you can walk out about 400 feet in front of the restraunts across the lake.

Hey Red.. How fast was the Intimidator going? Stock they only ran about 65 - 68 mph from Glastron. They tried to say they'd run 70+, but.....

You can tell from the video it's really strong pulling away as the trim goes up. Awesome!!
