And we'll probably see it through that new glass door :D

It wasn't anywhere near 86 when I was on it..... :party-smiley-048:

I think it was more like 79-80 and Billy never got it over 83...

Yeah, he must have done that on the new boat too because he said it runs 97.... But last year I walked him on the ocean coming back from Pt. Pleasant.......and I was only running 81 mph..... He claimed a blower belt was slipping. Then a couple miles up the coast he blew a drive....

YIKES....:angry-smiley-055:

You gonna test this weekend?

I'm supposed to leave for Patchogue next Friday afternoon, I think one other boat is riding with me.

sakoutis3 08-15-2007 11:36 AM

Saturday is the plan. One more to go in the hole, Install throttles and shifters and a few other odds and ends. I'd say ready to start on the hose late Thurs. or Fri. morning. With the volume of work I've done to this boat I keep drivin myself nuts thinking I forgot something. With my luck we'll get to the ramp and forget the keys.

Panther 08-17-2007 01:03 PM

Did they get the boat running yesterday? Testing tomorrow?

Downtown, I am not afraid to run my engines like others. They put the engine on warm it up, make two pulls and say it's finished. All of our marine engines get a minimum of 2-3 hours of actual run time. Warm up, break in , and testing. Cylinder heads are re-torqued , valve lash run a few times ( when applicable) , compression and leak down test performed after testing, ect. The Bad Boys are ready to rock when they go in the vessel. Of all the pairs or triples we have built, none have been no futher apart than 8 horsepower.:cool:

NJgr8ful 08-18-2007 09:33 AM

Is he in H2O Dean? and are you in NJ?? :)

mrhorsepower1 08-18-2007 10:00 AM

The third engine is going in. I wish I was in NJ....looking forward to getting out of the shop and doing some boating up there with Nick. Oh.....and of course Dee!!:D

It was supposed to be but we got held up with gettin the generator running. It was easier for Tommy to get his fat azz in there without the engine in the way. Its all good now. Everything works. You can't rush perfection.:angry-smiley-044: :chill-pill:

You're starting to sound like Gellner with the perfection crap!!!!!

Frank did all the work. I supplied some wire and advice. With all the room in the cockpit (lack of room) I pointed from the dock a lot. He did a great job and I'd hire him if he wasn't so expensive! He's all set with the new mtx thunder marine setup. Sounds nice and a awesome improvement over the 1 pair of 6.5" standard horizon speakers that were in there before. :cool-smiley-011:

12" Sub, speakers, 1800W amp, cutting some BIG holes in the resin bucket, chasing wires, 6 hrs later it's done... :cool-smiley-011:

Oh yeah, did I say it's loud! :D
