Eric, did you do the shootout poker run ?

I did....boat ran great during the Poker Run on Friday. Saturday was another story....lol. It ran like a top on the way to shootout...but on way home had some issues. Long story short...exhaust gaskets between tails and headers failed and clamp got VERY loose. Exhaust fumes ended up in engine comparmtent and fouled out all 16 plugs. Got back to dock...Changed plugs, installed new gaskets and all is good.

I see you may be getting something new??

Right now, it needs a new owner....only15 hrs. in the last 3 years on a depreciating asset really doesn't make a lot of sense of keeping it around,
Wife wants one of those aluminum tubular catamarans that we can ram up on the beach, haul around one of those floating wrestling mats, and pull the kid around on big mable:D

We were in the 38 Cig TS...you rolled by us probably around the 12 mm, we were going 80, you had to be going 100 when you went by us...then you
chased down Grants 38 Donzi...the boat looked good and had a nice set to it:cool:

Closer to 115....lol. That was fun. What does that Orange Donzi have for power? Boat runs/looks great. And thank u. I simply can't ask for more on how my old pile handles the slop at LOTO. It does pretty damn well for a lightweight Beak. It just seems to fly really level....

The Donzi has 700s that I'm fairly sure have had the whipple upgrades...I know it ran 114 in the shootout a few years back

Just read this entire thread (over the course of a week). Glad to see you have the boat running well. You sure went through a ton of **** to get it where its at now!

There is a boat for sale here in Canada that my buddy is in love with and as his "consultant" I am not letting him near it because of the "Tyler" engines, F that action

The exhaust fumes got to the cockpit a long time ago !!!. Loose clamp and leaking gasket fouled all 16 plugs I guess the fumes got there.
