LOL

Sorry but you'll be glad you spent the money.

You got the right guy doing the LED's!

If you have not seen those that dance to the music you better take a look before he is done. Those are a lot of fun.

Hey doc when Adams done Ill have to drive that boat what do think ?I do have the pulleys to make POWER and raising the x 1.5 inches should give you some rpm .The few people I've talked to about those drives said no loss in speed or rpm and they didnt have to change props . I think you will have a peace of mind running those drives. I wish I could do the same thing I'm due for a new challenge. I would dial that boat in with p5x they are great out of the box over the merc 5 blades and they come in every inch. I'll be happy to help I have pulleys and props and I'm joansin to go for a ride.Every lb of boost is good for a 1.5 mph in my boat GOT BOOST! arnt you running 5lb ? 7 to 8 would be fun spinnings 30 p5xs

IM heading to RUBY MI at 5am sat morn to get my heads maybe Ill see the Irishcatagory 5

Can't say I'll be in the area. Haven't been home in 1.5 months. Your more than welcome to stop and take a look at my bottom while your up there though...:party-smiley-004:

Just kidding buddy. Everything looks great and cant wait to hang with you guys on the lake and at poker runs this year!!

That 36 is really going to be a attention getter this summer Dock!!!! You planning on dragging it up to Lake Erie this summer? If so let me know the weekend and I'll drag mine down to Sandusky and meet up with you.

Can I just be an innocent bystander next time?

Here's a picture from the last time you were in town!

yeah, thats about right!

Well lets see

One year in Jacksonville while on a run to St. Augustine Jason had to keep me out of jail. His famous words were "Keep your mouth shut and let me do the talking". Then the following year on the same run except returning to Jacksonville I had to stop and help keep the coast guard from taking Jason to jail and my famous words were "Keep your mouth shut and let Lori do the talking!

I cannot talk about Savannah or Lake Hartwell as per our court order.

Bucyrus here we come, this should be fun!

I will be lucky if any of you guys let me know last time you guys wouldn't call for fear of what might happen

I promise that you will get fair notice that we are on the way. If you don't show up you will never live it down. Adam calls you a P U S S Y already!

No he said I like it !

Just received an update from the "GREAT ONE", Mr. Adam Shook.

The boat project is moving forward very well.

Here is a picture of the new Ocean's LED in the Transom.

I am simply blown away by what Adam does and comes up with.

He keeps raising the bar every day. If you have any question as to his talent just look at Split Decision. What he did on my boat last year was simply cool. He delivers more than you expect.

Well he has topped it all now. I'm sitting here almost speachless and for those that know me that doesn't happen too often.

We have a problem with oversized holes in the oil pans which did not allow them to seal properly creating oil leaks between the block and pan. Adam and Mark figured out the problem and Adam came up with a solution. The solution was to build a rail system that the oil pan bolts go through first and snug the rail up to the pan and pull it tight against the block. Use new gaskets along with "Right Stuff" silicone sealer and all should be 100%.

Adam has a nice machine shop but he was not satisfied with what he could produce. Even though this was at the bottom of the engine where no one would see it he wanted it to be perfect. He created a drawing and what he wanted and had them cut on a water jet. They are a work of art.

I had no idea he was going to this kind of trouble but knowing him like I do I should not be surprised. This is simply amazing and very much appreciated.

Adam ROCKS!

These picturers are of the right and the left side rails.

Wow dock, your memory is impressive! Lets go!

Update from Adam at Saccenti Marine

Oil Pans are back on and sealed very well with "Right Stuff" silicone and the custom rails he made.

Here is the comment from Adam:

Mark,
This is how we fixed your oil leak issue. I do not think I'll ever install a Mark IV oil pan again without these rails.

Check out the Allen ratchet in the second pic that is defying gravity!

Take care.
Adam

Dock, you are kidding about the silicone, right?

Nope

Not Kidding

ITW Devcon "Right Stuff"

It's GREAT and currently being used and recommended by Mark Boos at Precision Marine.

I just signed a contract yesterday to become a Master Stocking Distributor for ITW Devcon on their entire product group.

I've used it myself on my rigs and it's great stuff excuse the pun..:lolhit:

Too Funny!

Doesn't take much to get you excited huh?:lolhit:

Doc,

What did you and Adam talk about today? For some reason after he got off the phone with you he promoted Doug to "group leader" and I have to answer to him now. :confused:

:lolhit::lolhit::lolhit::evilb::kiss:

You need a father figure to keep you straight!

Update teaser photo. Sorry about the quality, it was a last second "phone" shot before bolting out the door.

Thank you sir

I needed that picture!

So I can assume the engines are finnally in?

I knew we forgot something! :party-smiley-004:

The new IMCO hardware looks sweet back there. Looks like something out of the Terminator movies. I guess the next step is the motor lid/lift. I just hope Adam doesnt stuff me under there with a flashlight to check clearance like the AERO we worked on! :eek:

WOW! I cant wait to see it.

Don't worry you are too fat for that job!:lolhit:

You aren't giving Uncle Doug any trouble are you?

March the 5th buddy!

Hey you good leaving at dark thirty Friday morning or would you perfer to leave say 6pm on Thursday and spend the night mid way up?

Let me know

how long of a trip is it? if it is 7 hours or under i prefer to leave friday am but will do whatever you say.

How do you like the new way we plan to mount the rear bench and sunpad?

Anyone have a guess what these custom brackets are for?

Hint: "They will be polished"

Well this caused the guys a couple of headaches

Funny what a few beers and a good nights rest will do.

They got up the next morning, called IMCO and were told to CUT IT OFF. Turnes out the drive shaft on the IMCO's is a little long to accomodate all applications. Nothing a sharp saw will not solve!

I know that sounds funny cutting on a brand new shaft, but even the best of the best wouldnt be able to tell it had been modified. Came out 110% perfect!

I guess Adam is right. At least once a day he tells me "dont be scared!" :drink:

Thats one way of getting the 40 Outlaw you've always wanted! Tommie can ride back there Granny Clampett style with a shotgun!
