AO/Awesome with 4s/5s on boxes
 

Anyone with a 31 AO, Awesome or Chris Cat with 4s or 5s on merc boxes care to share some info?

Mine had #5s but with stelling boxes if that helps I will tell you what i know

Expo, where was the prop shaft relative to the bottom? What kind of speeds/power were you running? How far forward were the motors? Drive lines or plug ins?

prop shaft 2.5 in above bottom, 750 natural and ran 127. Driveline. motors about 6 in back from bulkhead

Do you happen to remember the prop diameter? gear ratio?

sureley someone has some pics to share with the class:party-smiley-004:

I have no idea what your talking about :)

No wait i thought i saw some pictures of someone doing a speedy conversion...:party-smiley-004:

I'll look around and see if i can find anything!

Bobkatz,
I just looked in the Mystic section and did not see any.

There is NO Mystic section!!!! I'm all alone...

I did find this picture but not sure who's it is:lolhit:

I know who's it is and he is an ahole.

Looks good. Nice tie bar!

Nother one...

Looking good B!

Thanks, its gone about as easy as it could have and things lined up well with all the parts. Motor mounts are in and I am working on painting the engine area now. No more grey crappy paint. Filled about 200 screw holes from all the old rigging. Other than getting the driveshafts that I have cut down I have just about everything.

HIGH ROLLER!!! Looking forward to prop testing, are you still trying to make it to the water before the first of the year.:party-smiley-004:

It has been fun so far. Is it just me or does the angle on the extension box look different than the transom, Ah don't worry about it it will be fine!!!

impressive... looks like a new contender entering the ring...

Don

You must be looking at the wrong boat in the wrong garage.....
Isn't it hard to tell with your boxes laying on the floor.

Looks nice i wish i had your energy. you missed a good ride to conley bottom.

Details, details... Looks good can't wait to run them this spring!:lolhit:

A little more progress.

Is that a foot print???:party-smiley-004:

Be nice or I will post a couple pics of you holding a circular saw and a pile of aluminum on the floor.

Last nights progress.

Nice! Looking forward to summer:coolcowboy:

Lets see pics of your SSM install :)

Oh man! That looks awesome! Nice to see a project moving along in this forum. Gonna be a little tighter for frontal motor maintenance but I'm sure you'll cope.

Lets see pics of your SSM install

I'll put them in the Mystic section...

How about some rigging shots, i know you were busy today!

not a very good pic but all the wiring and plumbing is back in the boat and cleaned up some. Eliminated a bunch of wiring that was not needed. Sea strainers are in. The hold up on prop testing is the flywheels at the machine shop having the ring gears moved. I had hoped to do some shake down runs before the snow hits.

:bsflag: the snow hit this morning...you better step up the pace. Looks good.

I have the flywheels back. Just left lake cumberland marine with some prop options. Get your boggin ready in a couple weeks.

Flywheels, bellhousings, blowers, tranny's, lower drive shaft gaurds and bilge pumps are in.

Looks good, what kind of props did you get?

All done except for filling the drives and putting the hatch back on.

Looks nice. eastside is finished.

Looks great!!! And done in record time...

Looks great...What did you get for props?
Just raised my boxes 1" (bottom hole) should put me 2.75 from the bottom (CL). Motors are out and going back on the dyno, Ben wasn't happy with the numbers and weird a/f ratios.

Ssm
 

NICE.....hopefully it runs as well as it looks. Now you have a couple months left to shop for those HERRINGS!!!! TMAN are your cables fixed yet??? GUESS I better get started and motivate the other westside hack. By the way I seem to have lost my drive lock key......last remember seeing it in Memphis about 5 yrs ago:eek:

Wow! Project looks like it's coming along great. Congrats and can't wait to see how she runs!
