Valve springs and grind at 240 hours.

We used a dummy block with our transmission and tailstock to mock up and build new motor mounts. This is a long process to get the alignment tool to slide in / out easily. And keep the engines level side to side.

The boat wanted to hop before with the Kondads, between 40 to 60. It's still the same. You have to drag a little tab (380s) at the neutral level to stop it. After 60 no tab needed. It planes very easy now with little bow rise due to the big negative trim capability of a 6

The engine mounts were difficult, but Bryce and I got thru it. The engines are level side to side, and the 6s slid in the transoms. We had a few discarded mounts we made for the recycle bin.

Did your engines move up or down compared to where they were at with Konrads?

They moved up, about 2.75 inches.
