Default It finally lives...

Finally got the Avanti out today after spending the summer chasing gremlins. Its been a couple year process rerigging and setting the boat up to handle better at speed and build a motor that will give it that speed,

Beat on it hard for a couple hours today, definitely underpropped and bounced it off the rev limiter a couple times Hit a high of 80 and it handled great.

I can't thank Glass Dave,LightningJet and Adk61 for all the help with this little project,,

Yep, the plate they are mounted on is spaced off the transom and has multiple layers of dynamat on the back, then the boxes are mounted on rubber isolators. should one die, just plug in the other.

Just buy Daytona Sensors and toss MSD.
Never ever will need two.
