Okay, I'm back from the test run... was a freakin riot! lol Everything went extremely well. Ran smooth. Gets on plane super fast. no front end bouncing at all. Seems like everything is balanced really well too. Didn't cavitate a single time. Ran about 40mph. Had GPS at 38mph with 2 guys in the boat, and 36mph with three guys in the boat. Can't wait to get the rear deck frame and finish this bad boy up! As promised, here are vids:

Rear deck frame is done! Dropped the boat off about an hour ago for it to be attached. Picking it up around noon. Will post pics tonight.

What kind of steering/rudder system do u have? Does it have the normal jet ski--oh chit I'm gonna crash!!-- feel to it when u try to turn it suddenly without being under power?

It is stick steering, push and pull to turn. I will post pics of the final steering stick that I fab up for it. And yes, you do have to give it some gas to get it to turn, but the feeling is not near as drastic as on a jet ski. I think because it has more drag. When you're idling, its not moving near as fast as a jet ski would. I also noticed that the amount of gas you give it when you're turning will definitely take some getting used... Have to give it enough, but if you give it to much, the rear end feels like it wants to slide out from under you a little.

Need to post videos of some power sliding and 360's!!!

Well, I have the rear deck frame. It is not attached yet cuz I'm still tossing around ideas as to how to fasten it, but here are pics:
