Thanks to:

Scott Baxter for inspecting, testing, crating up,
and shipping the motor. Also for his advice when we hit rigging snags and his excellent smoke screen technique, when one of you got on my trail.

Grizzley for pushing me to go this way for the last two years.

All of you on this board who bought and sold parts with me. Not one bad transaction!

Nisonger marine. Great prices and service on gaffrig gauges, dash plates, cleats, and rigging.

Mike Tomlison rigging. His racing experience and knowledge were invaluable.

Fred Inman at IMCO. UPS damaged the shortie and he cleaned it up at no charge. Awesome product and company.

Paul Kermis at Simrek for helping me figure it all out and exchanging showers and hardware, no questions asked.

Latham Steering. Nobody makes a better product.

Throttle-Up propellers. Great prices and service.
Good enough for the ZR kilo run, good enough for the Roadtrip SE.

Ted of HP-500 fame for doing it first and giving me the inspiration to attempt it.

Details:

HP 500 EFI with CMI elbow tops, quick and quiet, and straight tips
Two inch, polished IMCO shorty with XR prop shaft
Full Latham twin ram hydraulic steering
Simrek drive shower
Red powdercoated dash panel with silver bezels
Gaffrig by Livorsi GPS speedo, redline, and Gaffrig 1 gauges
29 inch labbed Mirage plus
Four pop up six inch cleats
