Thanks! Ran great all weekend. Droped it in Friday 9:00am, took it out sunday around 2:00. Was going to get some video on sunday, but got rained out.

Idle problem was a small piece of junk stuck in the needle and seat. Sprayed it out with carb cleaner and never had another problem. I love those fix's.

Couple of running pics courtesy of TXHAWK. Special thanks to TXHawk for making this whole project happen and getting it on the water so soon. The knowledge and friendship gained has been invaluable. I went into this knowing little to nothing and Matt pretty much turned me into a boat mechanic in 6 months. We did EVERYTHING ourselves. Only thing we didn't do was dyno and tune the engines. Had Leon Derebery let us loose on his equipment we'd of done that too

Final pics of the bilge to follow shortly.
