Gerry,
I've got to hand it to you, that's quite a project that you bit off, and it sure looks like you're doing a great job with it!!
Stay motivated, she's a beauty!!

I wish I had the same support from my wife!


All I have been hearing is you spend to much time and Money on that big tub!
I have to admit I have been getting frustrated with vendors.
I have come to the conclusion that it only really matters
to me. Anyway back to the "TUB"



Here is the King demon bowls finished with self etching primer
and Imron paint.

I like to mod the carbs.

Dennis when I fire it up i set all the alarms off on the cars here at the dealership!


Here is the picture of the Keith Eickert
Blower fuel rails. This is a schweet setup with return ports
and fuel pressure sender ports.
A nice clean installation.


Thanks to Brian at CP Performance on great pricing.

OK three things had to happen today to place on in the boat
tommarro.

1) receave mark up tailpipe from Randy at stellings.
GOT IT.

2)Receave the fittings for the fuel rail . I always start
the engines before they go in the boat.
These came in.

3)The blower belts I ran on the old heads are not long enough. The Blower shop sent them but UPS misdirected
them in CT..............Great! SETBACK.
Called Ron at the Blowershop had him send two new ones
SAT Delivery. THANKS RON!
I will refuse the others.

The reason I want to get one in is for the sake of the tailpipe
mark ups . Ya know how long it takes for custom tails
this time of year?

Waiting for the belt.
one goes in one goes to the DYno

Im going to get a beer!

So now I take a perfectly good boat and drill 4 5and a half inch holes in the back of it for the custom 5 inch tails.

I gotta get some trim rings with gaskets.


They are 19 inchs apart on drive center line and 11.5 inches
above drive centerline. This should put them right above the
water at idle.

Well its gonna rain up here for like a week.
Cant really do anything while its raining.


I decided to take a look at the #6,s.

They appear to be early sixes with the ugly skeg
after closer look I think they maybe converted
dry sumps.

They polish up real nice.
Gonna spray them the lexus blue.
then install the uppers which have been converted
to 1.33 to ones. I have a set of 17x32 4 blades to start
with.

Just ordered a 5 gallon pail of the Torco MTF
gear oil for them.
