I wanted to share a recent engine upgrade on the sales cruiser. I will post pictures of our new tabs as soon as they are installed. Ordered them on Thursday.

Here are some fun pictures taken this week. One is a 944 with a blown chevy making 600HP!! The other two are from Putnampark in IN. The people who work at Putnam are great. Racing your car around Putnam is almost as fun as running WOT in some challenging water or so I am told.

Rob,

Good luck with the install. If you need help, let me know. What are you doing for indicators?

Vinny it's good to hear from you. The indicator is tab only by Livorsi to be installed in the same location as yours. We wanted to install the "slim" drive and tab indicator in the same location. My mechanic said there was not enough room to bolt down all 4 studs. I said Vinny figured it out you wimp. I am just kidding I didn't say that, but I did think it. Anyway I just looked at the boat again yesterday and both tabs are installed and look great. The guy doing the install does great work. He installed our steering as well. I know I probably should be doing this myself right. My wife won't even let me hang a picture without her supervision. I am dangerous with tools, not very talented in fixing anything mechanical. I will post some pictures of the completed project. I think it should be done in a week or two. We still have to order the new indicator and then order the cable/line lengths. Boating season is almost here.

So, did he get the indicator in? It is really tight, but I did manage to get all 4 studs in place. Although I did make a blood donation in the process.

Vinny,
No indicator yet, it should be ordered soon if not already. You sound like you were determined to make that sucker fit. We lack your determination. We are sending it back and buying a smaller one.
