    Winterized two of my Dynes last Friday, and have them tucked away for the winter. Am going up to Wisconsin to tarp over the twin rig next week.
    I am building a Pro-Street '63 Corvette, so it's time to devote some more effort to that project now that it's getting bitter out. I have many..many hours of work to put into that, so that will keep me busy all winter.

    You think so? You would need some ballast up front that is for sure. If I recall, you said that motor weighed not too much more than the 150 Opti I had on there. Seeing as though others have put on twin 150s before, why not???? I can't imagine what the power would be like, seeing as though the single 250 is as insane as it already is.

    Speaking of sinking, I remember Rocket Ron telling me that the first time the RAJs put their 20 with the triple 250s in the water, they had to drive it right back onto the trailer because they almost sank it due to all the weight on the back. They woulda been an expensive accident!

    I'll be dreaming of a Hydrodyne Meat in 2009 all winter and as the repo biz has picked up and the trucking to auction has been fast and furious, I might be able to afford a Dyne yet. Then perhaps I can get DyneBob and MarkBano to bring their Dynes over and we can caravan to Lake Geneva or something and have lunch.

    My project is rebuilding a buggy that I picked up last year and never touhed besides taking it to the desert once. I should have it up and running next month, just in time for the start of the season.
