[QUOTE=Rob Bailey;2709413]do the Weber carbs keep the fuel up to the engine's needs.

[Not quite sure what you ask for Rob, but the 4 Webers on each engine is set up for 250 l/h or 55 GPH. Joern]

Thanks a lot Gene, it was a lot more work than we had anticipated but it feels really good now ! I'll send you and Bob some of the restauration pics and vidoes later this autumn. I have most of the graphics and letters made and hopefully next spring it looks (almost) as you guys had it. I found some "Amalie" stickers in the hull below the tanks, was this an oil brand at the time?

Take care, regards Joern

[The biggest reward as of my expectations came from my 22 year old son who has done many hundred hours of work]

Nothing like a Father & Son project !! I hope my two son's will be ready, when we start the restoration on our 24' Cobra. Your Cig looks GREAT, love the red & yellow colors.

Thumbs up

hey 36..great job!

just for another reference person..contact Kurt Berger @ Kurts Marine in Brick NJ. He's restored one of the Dry Martini's..beautiful job.

I know he has an original pair of the KAM motors as well.

Good Luck with the completion!

Joern: Amalie Motor Oil. Witco Chemical--Bill Wishnick--(Bossonova)--their products included 'Amalie' and 'Kendall' motor oil. Bill was very generous when sponsoring his products and promoting Offshore.
