Default Update on the Bullet

Finally bolting pretty things in.
Once I get this thing done, I'll sit at anchor/dock with a cold beverage and do a build thread.

Looking good! Any details on or pics of your boat? I gotta do a thread on mine one of these days, but here’s a couple recent pics…

Does anyone in the boat world do mechanical fuel injection or is it all electronic and carbs?

The mechanical fuel injection works best in straight line( wide open throttle) racing. Not so great idling through long no wake zones. I personally dont mind the carb set ups because I can work on them. But Id say most prefer the electronic FI stuff. You just plug in your lap top and let it tell you what is wrong!

They are Kieth Eickert manifolds. One pair was questionable on a leak down so I decided to bite the costly bullet and get new headers.

I am terrible at organizing electronic photos and have them on so many devices. It's gonna take me some time to rummage through them.
