Testing the 36 tomorrow
The boat is ready at Full Throttle Marine. Just did head work, cam, bumped up the compression, bumped the rev limiters, did the valve springs/valve job, added adjustable timing chains and head gaskets, my couplers were shot so they were replaced. Doing the sea trial tomorrow, hoping to pick up a few mph. I dreamed last night I got to the ramp and forgot my props, there loaded in the truck now Ill report back tommorrow when i get some gps results.

Re: Testing the 36 tomorrow
The sites been down everytime i tried to get on.
We need to work on the carb tuning. It accelerated VERY nice, but only saw 1mph increase. It hits a wall at 5450. The plugs were fouling out due to it being too rich and it smelt like a gas tank idling.
Also, my props need a little cup as the front of the boat was dragging (due to the a/c we think) and julie at throttle up thinks i can pull the slip down 2%.
Were wondering if the carbs are too small to go to 5600. It had a ton of power, and stopped at the 5450 mark.
Ill keep you updated on it all. Im also thinking of pulling the a/c pickup thats on the bottom. that thing is huge.
So not there yet, but getting closer. The 731 cams sounded very nice along with the bump in compression.
