I have been researching this stuff since before MB3, and decided to pull the trigger once Rudy at R-Rated here in jersey offered up a hull that I could not refuse. I started in December, but things got backburnered because of family issues and crazyness at work.
I have about 4 pages of typed notes that I made while reading all the other threads and from talking to others that know much more than me. This is my first GPR. I know the risks, understand most of the quirks, and am going to make dam sure that I don’t end up killing myself by throwing tons of hp at a cut up hull. I am fortunate and lucky to have friends that are willing to share this info, and a site like this to store it all…
All of the building is taking place at my shop at work at night and weekends. I have heat, ac, a 300 amp tig,Bridgeport 
I want this thing to be the fastest on MY lake, with full handling and most of all good gas mileage & reliability. Paint may come next winter once I hustle enough people.
The goal: 83 locked down, 85 loose, on a stock engine/intercooler ect. Except for required reliability mods. Should run near silent & look like a stocker. All on a 1200 grate. Can you say SLEEPER
The idea is that it all costs me well under $4g’s once all the extra crap is sold off. . . So look here for parts
Buy my extra parts
