Ive been eyeballin some tubular front control arms. Ive taco'd the originals up before. lol I just don't like how the truck pulls right now, feels like when I mash on it, it feels like the rear wants to skate around like its dog tracking or something. I know its all tight and in line. I just had some front end work done and I specifically asked to check the thrust angle.

Ok spent 6 hours grinding in the cabin area working on getting it ready for new stringers. What a job lol! Decided after talking with Dave I’m going to do a coosa lay up throughout. That will save some more weight and if done correctly will be stronger. I think it will be the lightest Topgun in the world lol no cabin only wood in the boat is the transom and engine stringers. Everything from there up is coosa board. Shorter fuel tanks. And lots of aluminum on moters.

Lol well I guess that didn’t come out of my head correct. I meant a box that houses the pump and relay and run water tubes in the box to cool the pump. Lol guess I’m not good at typing lol

This what my boat appears to be cored with, an open cell substrate. The boat is quite light for what it is.

New product 2017 Fiberglass Foam Core Panels,fiberglass foam board,fiberglass sandwich panels for wholesale - Manufacturers and Factory China - Tasuns Composite

Is coosa better or lighter?

Well from what I understand this blue water 26 board that we are using is super strong they say as strong if not stronger than wood. It is a solid core material so it looks a bit different from your product. Not to sure about weight the board were using is extremely light compared to wood.

Why?

Run a return line to your tank, fuel continuously cycles. Look at my setup, I think it's what you're after, and it's simple;

Pickup - Fuel/Water separator - Filter - Pump - Filter - Distribution Block (To carbs w/ outlet) - Regulator - RETURN TO TANK

That should be all you need!

Are you thinking of Cool Fuel used on some Merc Fuel injection setups?

If anything would build a stainless coiled tube then encase that in a stainless pipe the you flow seawater through and stick that between the filter and carbs
