How's that new boat running.


Beautiful so far, thanks bud....did have a small scare on Sunday though.

Ran about 5200 rpms for a fair amount of time and when slowing up to come into docks my alarm sounded and we looked down and the starboard motor was runing wayyyy hot. Shut it off and limped in the few hundred yards to the docks....boat is closed cooled 496's and we hooked up a hose...ran fresh cool water through it and got a bite to eat to give it time.

Ran It out again after though and it was perfect. Not sure if maybe we picked up some sea grass as it was EVERYWHERE that day but we ran it for about an hour out in the gulf after that and it never rose up again.

Hoping to travel down for a FMO run before years end here.

Yup, sounds like you got some crap in your intake, when that happens I put it in reverse and try and flush it out, it usually works, glad everything was OK.

I lost the clip in a hard drive crash and wish i could find it again.


That would be a good new thread. Post what gets ya through he winter :cool:

Hah, I remember that. I have that saved on my old internal hard drive..... I just need to find a plug so I can extract out... Any Ideas on where to find one of those... ?

Great idea!!

I always thought of coming up with a perfume that smells like race gas. Just think how attractive and arousing our wives would be!

(please don't forward to my wife!)

I love the smell of race gas and Loctite....

I think we need to find some good developers to do a realistic performance boat game for the PlayStation.

Then we can all link up, stage online poker runs and races all winter long... :thankyouthankyou:

Once I got a few bugs worked out, it's been super for the past 170hrs. Well enough I'm starting on a twin version to bring down that way and run the islands with.
