Life's been busy and haven't posted anything I did not even come close to doing what I wanted to on the old Café this winter so I decided I wasn't going to pull the engines this year and just put the 177's on and clean things up so last weekend I dove in I have some general clean up done the blowers on I still need to get the Oil filters rear mounted and MSD Brackets on and ignition done, I want to move drive fluid reservoir and clean up wiring should be done in another week.

Took it out this weekend runs good turning 30's at 6000 feet

Looks great. You F'n STOLE that thing!

Thanks, I wanted to do more but I do not want the boat down and I was getting real bored in the Bayliner... it took me 3 weeks a couple hours a night to do the fallowing changes.

Carbs 1000HP's annular with 90 primary 99 secondary No PV Idles 800 and 700 in gear dockability is great!!

Filters are some import Die Cast Polished with a KN element I was going to roll some stainless mesh and spot weld it but was out of time...

What's the HP now? What speeds you seeing?

Ready to sell??

HP would just be a guestimate but it is turning 30's easy hardly any throttle to get on plane as for top speed I haven't opened it up yet, last weekend was the first time out and did mainly lake testing watching things and adjusting carb along with plug reading I did pull it up to 4500 and still had plenty of room to go, I might try some 32's and see how it does. Everything is for sale!! but I will probably keep this for a couple more years before I put any effort in selling it.

Tank....

I have a Café that I thinking about selling. Message me if you are interested. 1986 Café with 502 making 600HP, TRS drives, New Lightning headers, and many more new parts, and on a Manning trailer.

I was kinda being tongue and cheek with CPM since he just bought his and has improved it so.

We won't be buying until next year most likely. But a cafe, 33 outlaw and a 36 concept cc are the short listers.

Noticed I hadn't shown the block off finished, making some other parts now but not sure where I would post them MSD bracket will be available soon from Hardin CP and KE
