25 daytona makeover

Thanks for the kind words. I'll get more pics and info up soon.

All the hardware on the boat was stripped and clear anodized. No more peeling purple powder coat. You can see the exhaust holes have not been drilled yet. I wanted to make sure the pipes would come out above the wing plates on the box and not interfear with the swim steps at all.

Ok, the holes are cut now. Anyone who has ever done this knows what a pain it is. A 5-1/2" hole saw will make kick your ass if your not careful.

Here is the motor that was going into the boat first. 540 ci BBC with dart pro 1 heads and a 3.3 whipple. Estimated 900-950hp.

Who did your clear anodize? I need to get mine redone?

Great thread! I love that boat. My dad has the same make/model.

I'm looking forward to seeing how the boat turns out. I love the new trailer and the standoff box.

The trailer really did come out great. It is the first thing I do to just about every boat I buy. There is nothing worse than trailer problems in 120 degree heat in the middle of the desert. The standoff box was a controversial issue. Everyone said I wouldn't need it and they were right. I knew I didn't need it but I had it. The 25 daytona is a good handling boat and doesn't need a whole lot of help. I bought the motor standoff box and drive as a package for an unbelievable price. The box was basically free. Did I need it? No. Does it look bad ass? Ya

That's awesome. Tons of torque, I like it. Can't wait to see what is does on the water.

I saw this boat in person at the LHC boat show. My first thought was how cool the interior looks. Very clean 25. What a nice looking boat!!

Thank you.
