Try 10+ gallons of a nice mocha water and oil salad dressing.

They did a lot of work but just got to busy and was feed a lot of bad information. I had a fresh look at it and put it together like a split case. Seems to turn fine and gear lash was spot on but…….I haven’t put any H/P to it yet so fingers are crossed.

This is one unbelievably cool boat and your restoration(s) are just remarkable. Thanks for documenting and sharing your efforts with us. I really enjoy your posts.

I wish you all the best sorting out those last few details. You'll have the only one on the block thats for sure!

Thank you, thank you.

The transmission was my dumb ass fault.......thank god. The pump was in backward but is all fixed now and works like it should.
I guess I can say that the Nova24 race boat build is officially over. Yes it need to be washed and detailed. And yes it needs a test drive or two hundred but everything works in the driveway so if anything happens from this point on it's fixing it not building it. So as far as I'm concerned it's the end.
Now I guess it's on to the Monza Project II.
