Can't wait to see the finished product pics. My first ride in a V-6 bassrig "way back inda day" was in a H-S Aerocobra 150 (same hull) with a 150 XR-2. I spent alot of time as well in an uncle's 178 Stratos (had a SuperSix 150 zuki on it then, later he put a 235 OMC on it but I never got a ride in it after that! :wallbash: ) Gonna be some LIFELONG memories made in that rig with ya boy, THATs what lifes about!!! Neat ol skool boats, personally I'd hang a 225 ProMax on her and let the big dog eat!!! :cheers: RA
