Yes, I do want to see it. The insert/mold/liner does move on mine also. I thought something was busted loose on mine, but Tim explained it and it makes sense.

I had the prototype fuel injection system that Eddie built for the 575's. It is WELL worth the investment. The engine started, idled and ran much better than it ever did with the factory throttle bodies. mine was making 730 HP after the modifications. I also sent my blower to DMPE to have it worked over. they Teflon stripped it as part of their rebuild and it added another pound of boost in doing so.

know soon as I have to see about replacing my water tank this winter |
^^^Tim, thought you said that yours was glassed in from the factory? Some were, some weren't? Either a model year thing or a change in the build process?
|
I can only assume since mine does not shake around, I hope to see shortly when I do tank, stop over one day and drink beer |
The 1987 gun had a different liner set up slightly. The 89 up boats had this liner problem. It is fairly commmon. Also depends on how and we’re the boat was ran. I have made a lot of modifications to my cabin closets. There is a lot of room behind the walls of the closets. So after we cut the backs out and really tabbed the liner in to the boat we ate in the process of building new walls in the closets and making them much bigger. For storage purposes. We have added the full slider power door and used the access behind in the closets to mount the cylinder and hardware. I can take more detailed pictures if anyone needs them |
That’s some awesome craftsmanship. Thanks for sharing |

90 percent of what I’m doing is just to make better than it ever was. A lot of these guns from the 90s had these issiues and with all the updates and mods it’s just easier to start fresh. Ran al new engine harnesses from the back all the way up to the distribution block. Mercury zero effort throttles we are in deep lol. Entire boat in the process of being stripped of all paint and gel coat and getting ready for new gel and paint !!! |

.. Glad to hear you're making headway, sounds like another really nice restore. |
It’s all good It really does take a certain person to take on these large projects. I want a boat I can rely on every weekend and one I know the ins and outs of. I want it to be extremely solid when running in the snot water without doors and liners banging around. And who doesn’t like a good resto project!?!?!? |

I think I may have solved my massive oil leak problem. Completely my fault, used the wrong fittings, should be on the water today/tomorrow.
