Lookin good :drink: What power?

Re: Refinished 27 Flatdeck
 

powered with original 454 (330 hp.)
runs 60 mph. on gps. I have plans for a bigger motor but with only about three months of boating weather around here, I'm going to wait until winter to do the work.

Re: Refinished 27 Flatdeck
 

I hear ya there. You get the winter weather before anyone else. I left Michigan in 1988. Been there, done that. :(

Nice job.
Nothing as cool as old school.

Re: Refinished 27 Flatdeck
 

I see you have original 454's, I had a question about those engines, I have a 40' Hawk with the 454 mercruisers borg trans and TRS drives, Does any one know if those are Standard Rotation Engines, Or Reverse? thanks guys,

Re: Refinished 27 Flatdeck
 

If you look at the timing tab on each engine, and they are the same, most likely you have standard rotation engines. Reverse rotation engine has a different tab, as the damper (harmonic balancer) would be rotating the opposite direction. Or, crank engine and see which way it spins. Looking at engine from the front, std rotation spins clockwise, reverse spins counter-clockwise.
The drive would also be different for reverse rotation. The prop shaft has an "R" stamped in the end for reverse rotation drives.

Nice job OVERKILL 54. I inquired about that boat when it was for sale in Timmins. Lots of luck with it. How's the fishing up there?
