Nice! We've decided not to be a vendor at the Havasu Boat Show this year, but I'm thinking about walking it one day...probably Saturday. I will also be at Desert Storm (on vacation).



Depends on the systems you have, but most likely you will have to have bungs welded in. CMI's for instance, have tailpipes that can be removed separately from the risers or manifolds/headers, and CMI will cut through the water jacket, drill the hole and weld the bung on the inside, then recover the water jacket to the outside of the bung for $150. Lightning headers offers this for their headers too, but only when first purchasing them. What do you have on your engines?
loose up to 5% per 1000 ft elevation..... Good lord, that's what, 470 HP? This has to be dealt with...!

When I boat at Tahoe I try to clean up the idle so I don't embarrass myself more than usual around the docks. I always seem to have a black transom to wipe down,running a bit rich is cheaper than lean. Doug
Doug, are you the same person whom I spoke with regarding going boating on the Sac when I had my 31 warlock SXT?

Rick, I could join you but why don't you consider dynoing the motor. Great way to check for oil leaks before it's buried in a bilge and the motor is broke in and tuned at the same time. Keep in touch. We have a group that starts every year at the Lake Havasua Desert Storm run. Doug
