I believe that is who was originally providing the power for this build.

Spent a good 30mins at SEMA this yr just looking over those two engines, they are truly a work of art, put a big difference between making a motor last 8-10 secs and hrs on end.

Blow out tube:

The first time I took the boat to the water I was rushing to get a quick test to make sure the transmissions worked, steering, ect. and to make sure the boat would float.. before it was going to be tied up getting a special coating on the whole boat ( I will post more on this tonight).
I knew I would need blow out tubes for the props but did not have time to make them so when we tried to get on plane we could not get any boost so it had no power. While the coating was being put on the boat I made the blow out tubes. Was not sure what size I would need so I went big, there 4" dia piece of stainless elbow with a collar welded to it for the rubber hose to clamp to then some gussets and flanges welded to the bottom to bolt down on the arneson.

They ended up being too big and once it broke loose the prop would not get enough bite to get on plane so now I have just a 2" dia piece of rubber till we get more testing done.
