Yes yes. The pallet will be perfect for stringers and I plan on it all being finished by May.

Nice Arrow build, and awsome to se one leave Sweden aswell

We have the first Arrow, and we love it, that boat can take the bost brutal beating, and handles so nice that its like driving a car, or even better.

Rough sea boat indeed.

I wish you luck with your build.

Regards.

Thanks!

Have you got any pictures of how you did the step vent & fuel tank?
That's causing me some head scratching at the moment.

OK, I feel a bit guilty now - I guess you were asking for something a bit more specific than me being sarcastic.

It's an ex bulldog HP500, 540CU, - tall deck, bow tie, big block. Currently 4.44" bore, 4.375 stroke, though it might get a rebore out to 4.53ish.
Also plan to convert to a hydraulic roller cam, and airflow research heads, possibly the 315 heads, though the 305 and 325 are also candidates.
The plan is also to convert the hilborn manifold to efi, but if that's not possible, it'll prob have a dart single plane intake, also converted to efi. The hilborn manifold is a late style, 2 7/16" one (the smaller one) that came out of this car:
