That'll do it. Lots of ways to get it done, pick your poison.

Will do the hook thing ASAP ,I just couldn't get to the boat lately, but I did call a reputable local marine hi perf shop today to find out about rates to dyno test the engines and I was told $1500 per engine, is this reasonable ? Thought it was crazy, am I wrong?

Uhh wait..
I dont think so. 3000 sounds real steep.

More like 1000 for a full day in the dyno with 2 engines (if you dont have any problems)

Isn't your builder going to supply the labor?
I thought he was dynoing them? Dosnt he "have a guy"?

You want the day rate for the room maybe with with an operator thats just sticking - and your guys does the setup & tuning.(and you have to help him schlep and setup and pull the carbs and jet- no one gets it right on shot one. )

Shouldnt take more than a day and half for both engines even if you have to take the manifold off and reseat it on each one.

Dig a bit and find out who is doing what.

Sounds like Friday may not be the day.


UD

Yeah, $1500 for both unless they need to make MAJOR changes and spend a ton of time.

I'll probably get crucified for saying it, but why not just dyno one and copy the changes to the other motor? It would be nice to run both however just to check for leaks/ minor isssues etc. I'd think your engine guy can at least run them for you.

He could do that- but then he goes through all that and has a still has a 50% chance of having a problem. Not worth it.

You can do that with jetting though and usually you are ok.

UD

You are right Friday won't be the day , sometime next week now !

He has a guy with a Dyno who obviously will charge me but I just wanted to get a quote fr somebody out of his circle and I got scared ehheheheh I will wait for his cost on the dyno , this other guy just got me off his back with the price he gave me.

Not sure what you mean, if it can be run I don't see much risk. Though as you said, the second one is USUALLY pretty easy, and I agree it's not maybe the best way but for $1500 I'd deal with it!!!

Yes UD gave me that idea before but as he said , I will go the extra mile and do it right.

I'm eagerly watching this thread. Hoping for the best for ya Diego. I will be building motors when I finish all cosmetics as mine runs good now. Curious what ya get.

I really like your boat , as soon as results are ready I will post them,

Thanks for your support.
