New props
 
The 509 motors can run up to 5600 rpms @ WOT. Using bravo one's or hydromotive. What pitch should I start with?

Call Hydromotive, they are very helpful, they used to have an exchange program, maybe still do..

The interior is new. My XR drives are finished and ready to install. I bought new IMCO external steering and drive showers from teague. I mounted the imco end caps and showers today. I built the A frame to pull the stock motors out. I hope to sell them on OSO. 502/415hp 130 hrs. New EMI risers, dry to the tip and 1" taller and 2" longer than stock. Today UPS droped off 2 cases of oil VR1 20-50, from amazon $57 a case. Next the engines will have new stainless braided hoses as i finish them up to install. I have spring fever.

I looked online at pictures of what others have built. (see-pic) Building the a frame was a task. 2x6x12 double header, the rest is 2x6x14. I used bolts for dissemble and storage. I have a chain hoist pully and engine harness. I with post pictures with my engine hanging.

Looks like you got a great project going on Glen George.Cant wait to see some posts on how it runs and the speeds you get.

motors look great. You are doing a ton of work. Not trying to high jack, anyone know how -1's or -2's affect speed and handling on a 32?
Thanx.
