Looks great, I love a re-do project on a boat. It's just amazing what lots of dollars can do to an older boat! It's a really satisfying project, when it's all done!

Time for an update. Motor is in and up and running, had a water test Monday and ran fine for 15-20 minutes and then died, no spark, then spark, timing all over. Turns out the pickup on the distributor failed. For the 20 min we ran it, boat was running amazing and is worlds difference from the Outlaw 24 I was coming from. No GPS #'s yet as I didnt have the gps sensor hooked up yet on my gauge and we didnt run long enough to pull out the phone. Had it up to 5600 on a 26P right hand prop. Thinking high 70's but will know soon. Boat does have a tendency to list to port so going to try a left hand per Derek's recommendation. New pickup went on today and boat fired right up and is back to running normal. Have a couple minor things to finish up and we will be up and running. All of this of course wouldnt have been possible without the expertise of Jamie aka lil red on the forum. He's done an amazing job getting the motor running properly, rigging and getting this project done.

Do try the left hand prop, I used to have a 26 Sonic, it used to list to the left till you got it over cruise speed. Went to a lefty and all was good. I guess it counter acted the engine torque you get with a single. A lot of single engine boats, like Fountain and Velocity were rigged that way.
