Coming in hot!! Sorry Tyson, someone had to say it. I can’t wait to see this boat dialed in and breaking records! I really appreciate your hard work and dedication to this fantastic project. I think we all have learned a ton from this thread.

Regards,

Captain, why did you go by yourself on first sea trial.
co pilot is a must. Could had lost everything first 15. No water cooled turbos are the death to marine.
Just my 2 cents.
Good luck on your ventures, wish only the best.

Probably get flamed but I agree with B38 above. You take some unnecessary risks sir. I would think that you could have a very long list of volunteers willing to go for a ride to help out. Just concerned for your safety.

close, the bolts they put in the bottom of the turbos mount/drain we’re too long so they bottomed out before they became tight which let the gasket come out and oil spray on the turbos exhaust housing.
