I'm making a lot of progress with my winter project.
 

This is a before pic.

I've got a lot of little things to hookup and cleanup, but the big items are done.
How does it look?

A little different angle

Polished valve covers and flames always make a boat faster, right?:cool: ;)

Nice job:)

Looks great Mark !!!!
I hope that polishing thing makes mine go faster too.

Keep up the good work

Mark

Thanks guys.
The hardest part was getting the Gilcoat off the Gil manifilds. I bet I've got 6 hours in each manifold before they could go to the powdercoaters.


I've got 1 more set of Gils and dry pipes if anyone is interested.

MAN those are some SERIOUS risers you got on there!!!!

Jon

Hey Mark,
Looks like you are having fun. :) I like the flames! They are a nice carry over from the graphics. Did you do any other engine mods besides the exhaust? Be prepared in the spring to do some re jetting even if the cams are the same. My 365's leaned out big time when I installed the Gills. Reasons for injections I guess.:rolleyes:
Dan

Looks good Mark. Is that the Super Hawaiian hull??

Hey, if you're spending all this time on the boat, who is tending to the farming, I've gotten use to that popping corn you sent and we're going to need another wreath this Christmas ;)

Steve

Looks good but man is that a crowded engine compartment to work in.

Candyman, I was told I may not have to rejet the carb. The Qjet doesn't leanout like the Carter does. I'll watch it close.

SteveDavid, yep. That the Super Hawaii.
Don't worry the farming is still getting done. The boat just gets free evenings and weekends.;) Id have a big problem if we never had winter, like you guys.;) :cool:


GregP, yes it is a little tight, and I'm a big guy. I just don't jump out quick when the phone rings.:D

Thanks everyone.

Looks great!!! The flames should add at least 2-3 mph:D :D I love that feeling of accomplishment after finishing a project!! Warm weather has GOT to be on the way!!

Nice...:cool:

Well DUH! I think everyone here knows that!:D

NIce, big difference.

Looks great. Nice improvement .

:cool: makes a big difference
good work

You call that a tight engine compartment??? Geez, I'd KILL for that much room!! Ever been in the engine compartment of say, a 24 Baja? 29 Powerquest? 31 Sonic? I have, and I'd say Payton has a LOT of room. Then again, I'm half as big as he is, so I'd fit a lot better. Next time you need to change those outside plugs, let me know!! After all, I'm a certified Sterling plug changer with all the experiece I got at LOTO last summer!! :D

It's looking awsome though Mark. See you up here in Grand Haven at all this summer??

Looking real good:D I think if you painted your intakes purple it would bring out the valve covers more.
Good luck
