Here's the thing. How hot does it have to get to discolor a header? One header was discolored

With no water temp in the block, but no water flow to the exhaust, the header can turn blue in no time. Lack of water to the headers, will blue them quickly.

Only thing I could see doing that is a lack of water flow, but I would expect to see a rise in water temperature and you said it held steadily.

Hold the phone!

Is that Jody's old 38 Larry Smith from California you bought?

Another thing that pisses me off water. Water temp never varied. Neither did water pressure. The oil pressure was down about 20psi after the incident while heading back to the marina

Yeah, that's it. Had it a few years now. Decent name so I never changed it

I officially don't like you. lol.

I have always wondered where that boat went to, as I was in love with it years back. Why aren't we talking about a pair of 1000's for this thing :coolcowboy:

It has t stats. Water temp never budges off 140-150

I wish. That's why I was thinking blowers, but this was an unexpected 10k expense. You know how hard it is to find props for an SSM V with only 650 hp? Because of the boat I can get on plane and pull the 17x 30s up to 4400. I lose about 10mph at top end with them but I've got a 65mph cruise at 3500. I was able to hit 90 with the 17x26s

I think Rbesola here was selling some 17x26 big shaft 4 blades, not sure if he sold them or not.
