About halfway there

Hope to have it finished, stabbed, tuned and timed tomorrow for a thursday afternoon, friday morning test blast.

It will be a long marathon.

Looks good jeff....I take it you got a hole of scott, he is a great guy......Keep the pics coming....

Runs like a bat out of hell.

Got a couple tuing issues.

Keep fouling plugs, most ikely atiming issue combined with to much fuel, but ran around all day.

I'll get some pics of it installed soon.

Thanks for the compliments.

Here's a couple pics.

Jeff that is a beautiful boat, love the 3 man setup and the looooong deck

Thanks donz. Trying to stay motivated to get it all finished and perfect.

JEff ,
where is the old girl - how fast is she going wiht the new motor ?
Heres a good pic as "Grumpy "

Havn't had a chance to touch her in about a month. I am going to try and do a tune up tomorrow and make some adjustments. I have had it to around 4900 with a 26B1. It feels like around 75-80.

I think it needs a little more timing. I am also not making much boost and that is truning the engine into a turd. It needs a lot more prop also, because 4900 rpm's is right at half throttle.

Hopefully I can run it a little this week.

I used to turn the 26B1 at 5900 RPM - Boat was running right around 80 mph .
that motor should put it into the high 80s
