Sweet! One of these days I'll either build a t-bucket or a super 7. I'm leanin towards the 7 w/ the utterly insane idea of a Hartley H1 under the hood. Kinda spendy, but a 2.8 liter 10,000 rpm 400 hp motor that weighs 200#'s does have some appeal
The power to weight ratio and handling of the 7 would be pretty mind boggling.

Well if were doing boats!!
My last boat, 2000 38 Powerquest Avenger, warmed up 502 Mags with Bravo 1 drives. Fun boat, ran in the upper 70's in 3 to 4 footers.
Custom dash
Kept it on a lift, all the advantages of a slip w/o having the boat sit in the water
The 29 I had before the 38

Me loves some fast boats...... I want a Fountain like nobody's business.
I would bet my rent money you would like a Cigarette WAY better than a beak. Where we run in lake MI the Fountains dont fair as well as the PQ's and Cigs, the Cig/Apache is the ultimate big water boat.

Just come back from a cruise get together which was kind of a mini car show at a friends house up the road a few miles.
Damn I should have brought the camera.
As I left I got into it pretty good and I report an honest bit of rubber sacrifice in 3rd.

On the opposite extreme, once saw (mostly heard), a Super 7 at the Reading, PA airport road races, with a modified SAAB two stroke in it. That thing sounded like an 850CC McCullough on wheels and flat-assed flew. 10,000 RPMs wasn't a struggle for that little beast.
If three or more people think you're a dimwit, chances are at least one of them is right.
