well it made its maiden voyage,i still need to do a little carpet work and nic-nac stuff. pop took the critchfield me and the wife took the stream, put the big wheel on it. it is a different animal since the pad and bottom job, hops like crazy till u get it on the pad then you could drive it with one hand. we only got to race once and now i got a few knots on the back of my head. i lost and got beat up.

Looks good, and it looks like the dash piece came out good as well. Let me know when you are ready to fab up a nice aluminum control box for it and we will make it.

i took the tabs off, it did ok and after the square pad it wonts to hop. you put you foot in it and it runs beautiful. it just has to be tucked under a lot to cruse around. i am still playing with weigh distribution to see if that helps. i am going to put a bobs cavitation plate on it in a lil bit to see if that helps. i am running a 26p merc chopper. you ever try a cleaver on a viper? i was think of trying one to see if it will help with the hopping, it makes a big diff on my green boat......this is my first time playing with a viper.
