Was a nice 75*

Hope this helps you snow covered bird brethren.

Out checking for leaks in the steering system, what a difference.

Turn it up the audio is pretty damn good.

No, too many damn jet ski folks do that for us. Only during off season will I come that close to that dock. All other dock are 100yrds or better or idle to them. An old rule my dad "Beat" into me.

Looking and sounding good! You are going to love that hydraulic steering, especially running fast in rough water.

I believe Smith Lake was the first body of water I ever had my 292 in back in October 2005. Bought her from Robert Nelems of Nelems Marine.

looseconnection 03-19-2013 01:28 PM

It is the same lake, except you were on the jasper side. I saw your pictures in the build thread. My boat also came from Nelems when it was new, however I bought it 3rd hand.

Sounded great Is the stock st box still on or was that without box

looseconnection 03-19-2013 04:53 PM

No box and no silent choice. Standard cast iron manifolds and straight out the back.

I can't see it can you just link the video also? I have no st either.

Thanks. Nice blast.

How does the new steering feel?

looseconnection 03-20-2013 10:01 AM

Oh the steering is the cats meow. Super tight but super smoothe.

I'm looking for some warm weather and nice water in the northern Alabama area to start the season early. Where would you suggest? We were on the Ohio River in mid April last year.... I'm thinking that probably won't happen this year.

Anywhere to enjoy sunshine in northern Alabama in early April?

looseconnection 03-20-2013 11:30 AM

Can't swim till late may but plenty of sun and nice water on smith lake but no real destination. No restaurants or things like that. Just rocky lake shores and houses. Pm if you want more details. Also there is the Tenn river but with all the rain it looks like mud and strong currents.

diverkr 03-20-2013 11:47 AM

Nice. Got my 292 out yesterday. She goes into the shop today for some minor fixes, computer tweaking, and sending out port supercharger for a refresh.

looseconnection 03-20-2013 03:11 PM

Diverkr,

How are those prochargers doing? You gonna do the poker run in orange beach first weekend of june?

They are running great. Had one blower refreshed last year so I figure I'd get the other done. You can always find me on the boat between Destin and Orange Beach.

looseconnection 03-21-2013 11:15 AM

Did you do any internal mods with the pro chargers?

diverkr 03-21-2013 11:33 AM

Just head gaskets

looseconnection 03-21-2013 05:13 PM

What were you're final speed numbers. Comfortable cruise and top end. I seriously want to go the 383 route and try for 400 to 425hp per side. The blower whine is not my cup of tea.

diverkr 03-23-2013 10:37 AM

I am topping out right at 80 at the moment on a warm summer day. I am hitting the rev limiter with a lot of throttle left. Cruising 55-60. Looking into some prop tweaking, MSD ignition, exhaust, etc.
