Re: Finally done
580 cubes, roller cams, twin dominators, 1071 blowers, o-berg filters, dry sumped, aluminum dart heads, BDS chillers, arneson #8's , Rolla 32 x 17.5's.
Current plan is to splash it Friday morning in the Detroit area, do some final carb adjustments and run it across the lake about 40 miles to Port Clinton, Ohio.

Re: Finally done
Forgot to mention, almost every piece of metal on this boat has been powder coated including the blocks, heads, intakes, dash panels, drives, scatter shields and everything else that could be unscrewed/bolted in the cabin, cockpit, engine compartment, also including the cleats. The pullies etc are anodized. All the gauges have also been refinished
The trannies, starters and carbs are painted.

Re: Finally done
We cruised for 20-25 minutes at 70 mph. Then we started to crank it up slowly but surely watching the GPS at increments of 500 RPM. At just about 5500 the starboard engine's water temp went ballistic and we shut it down. At that point we were trucking at 110.6 according to the GPS tattle tale. WOT @ 6,000 r's we estimate 120 to 125 mph.
The port header on the starboard engine must have a blockage. We removed the header and shipped it to Stellings for inspection. We could still run it at 4,000 rpm but anything above resulted in the temperature building rapidly. The problem was only in the top two tubes. The bottom two were perfectly fine.
Hoping for good news today from Randy so we can get it back together and in the water Septermber 17th.

Re: Finally done
Hi Dave. I saw Greg's at the Monroe LEOPA run. I was going to do the fall run but had a bad header. Did you go on that one?
Yea, it is a big party barge. Everybody gets on it thinks it is a 50 footer.

Re: Finally done
No, mine is a 39, they just look big when you are on them.
Dave @ Wesco has a 50 that he is rigging. I have a pic somewhere. I will try to find it.
