That is looking great. I (and probably others) would like to see your CNC machine.
 
A Hal Kelly design that was inspirational to me as a kid . Our own Perry Walter (Captwalter on here ) was the test pilot for Hal back in the day .I still have Hals plan catalog from like 1972 . IMHO better to set it up with the MK 55 H . I had both engines then moved on to the 44 XS engine for my DSH . My Furnal Flyer was 11' 2 " and one hell of a ride ! Very cool project .
 
Sir, your outboard is amazing! I can't wait to see this rig all done up and running!
 
the bottom is ready
