Getting a project finished here soon
 

Changed from Imor to 600 CI Phaff engines in this 32 spectra. Gettin too old for this stuff.

At least your customers can afford to pay you what it's worth.. :coolcowboy::coolcowboy:

Look slike a nice job as usuall. :coolcowboy:

What are the before and after specs.
Looks good!!!!

I will try to see If I can find some. It was a tight fit, and the exhaust was tricky.

Lookin good Tres! :cool:

You're just hittin your prime Cowboy! :coolcowboy::drink:

Nothin a shoe horn and a bucket o KY can't do huh? :)

It was a tight fit but waiting on a set of drives and SS gimbal rings to get it to the water!

Why just one exhaust dump per engine?

Stingers sound nice, improves acceleration. It was requested by my customer.

Just got the new HD stainless steel Gimbal rings, No breaking, has massive upper pins

notice the size of the pin that goes in there

Why removing Ilmors Just looking for more HP? or was it not a good package for the particular boat ??

It was a great package! boat the owner wanted more HP and bling! I have the sister of this boat here with the same power and it just goes from 40 to 125 MPH like NOW!, Only difference with this one is I am going with the complete STRUT drive whilethe other has XR imco with X power internals. With the bigger dry sump drive the playing feild is wide open for running all types #6 props and its much shorter than any bravos.

Progress

Can we check out some pics of the whole boat Tres? I'm just curious what the rest of it looks like. That hardware looks great :cool:

Sure I will snap a few shots tomorrow. just waiting on a few more custom guages, one gimbal and the drives to hit the water.

You say the boat is a Spectra? I know about Spectre but what is a Spectra??

:grinser010: I am bad with my eyes, spelling, and computers! not a good mix.

as you ask

what lowers is this boat going to have

who makes these gimbals? they look a very stout

Strut.

Just arrived!

I see that Strut is now making what was the X-Power drive. Have they worked on getting the price down at all, or is it still going to be a (pardon me for saying so) ridiculously expensive Bravo alternative? Would be great if they could get it to market for under $15-20k a side.

I am still trying to decide on a reliable alternative for my Imco SC, and will most likely go with an SCX/SC combo, but if this is in the range pricewise, it could be considered as well.

No cast internals leads to expensive. Since the name is Strut, dont expect any low prices.

Cool project. Keep the pics coming, and I would love to hear the #'s once you get it dialed in.

Tres, Did you have to clearance the ring in order to clear the helmet? Mine had slight clearance issue and had to be "altered". Are u planning on using the ITS method of trim sensing?

ready now

Tres,
Awesome, can't wait to see what #'s she does.
