The hydraulic helm had worked loose a little and they repaired that. Also Adam learned with his boating experience that you are better to through bolt the dash panel in place and he took care of that.

I have to tell one really funny story on Adam.
At dinner Thursday night we were discussing the engines and the horsepower and boost came up. I had mentioned they were set up for 6-1/2 PSI of boost and Adam had a strange look on his face. He then said no they were making 8 PSI today when we ran them.
I thought that was strange because he only ran them on the hose and questioned him on that. he replied "YES 8 PSI".
Then my first thought was we have a problem and something was hose wired or plumbed correctly. Well it turnes out that was he was seeing was vacuum and not boost.
We rode him pretty hard over that one.
Hey I did find one thing wrong with the boat project last night.
The VHF radio is mounted backwards!
All I have to do is take the thumb screws off, rotate it 180 degrees and put the thumb screws back in. That was it will be easy to see and not unside down and the mic cable will hang at the bottom and not run across the display. Sorry guys I thought everything was PERFECT but you are only human.
