My original was a regular 502 MPI with a VST, and it did VL. During repower Eddie Young drilled out the rear of my fuel rail so fuel goes in on top side of rail. The Reg bleeds excess pressure and sends it out the lower half. The fuel exits the lower half back to the fuel tank. No more VL, and this is the regular Gen 2 cool fuel which the pump is on the port side motor mount. The reg on the cool fuel is not used, or actually not there

So down in the cabin where I have cut out all the bulkhead stringers and the supports on the walls that held interior pads instead of grinding off all the tabs in to make it smooth I figured out a screwdriver underneath of it it pops right off so after 57 hours of grinding down in the bow region all the old gelcoat is all ground off the walls are smooth the floor is smooth it is already for new stringers bulkheads and support throughout Making my Coosa form board order shortly and hoping to get all that done before it gets too hot out it will be nice to have that whole cabin area all done in Gel coat

I just went back to the beginning of this thread and realized how far down the rabbit hole you've gone. Man, mind boggling how much you've done and how much you're going to do. The thing looked pretty much perfect before, I just can't imagine how nice it's going to look when you're done.

Yea it really escalated very fast. Out life style had changed in the terms of how we use the boat know. Instead of sleeping on it every weekend we leave a place to sleep know on the weekends so it will just be a day boat and island runner so I decided to make it everything I ever wanted. And redo everything I ever often wondered about like is that fuel I smell ? Or is that stringer wet under the cabin ? Lol so when she’s done she will be completely new and ready to run hard for many years !!!! I hope ......
