Daytona sprint.........circle boat build

Nice build, what a bunch of history in this boat!.... You gotta put some kind of flag (in remembrance) on it someplace..... that would be cool!

1 stupid question.... why on these 'complete rebuilds' dont they do the bottom first and then flip and do all the nice stuff inside afterwards?...

Looks great Greg!! Looks like you could be on the water fairly soon!!!

Just a point that you probably already know, but just in case you don't... The prop forms a suction up against the blast plate potentially warping it into strange shapes which can be anything but the desired "flat". The fix is to either use stainless instead of aluminum or secure it like this. Just putting it out there both for performance and safety in the unlikely chance you weren't aware. It's been a while coming and a lot of us are chomping at the bit to see you on the water enjoying this thing.
