Hi Guys,
Some of you met my friend Butch Fletcher AKA Mayor McCheese :rolleyes: .........at the Nordic Jamboree. Unfortunately, we didn't get his boat finished in time to bring it. It's a 1996 Heat. We are done: rebuilt supercharged 496/stroker 454, lots of new internals, with all new CMI headers and new style exhaust. We think it's a nice update for an older Heat. Thanks for the tips Nate and Jeff! Running strong so far. No GPS #s, we'll have to borrow a handheld. Here some pics. Regards, Steve |

I'm pretty sure it is your former boat. Butch told me he bought it from someone in Northern Georgia. I'll give him your #. He did show me the dyno sheets BTW, and they were 804HP. Since then, he's been through several rebuilds. Regards, Steve |
Jim, If he blows this engine we're sending it back to you to have it built. That motor was bullet proof. A freakin' carb nut sent it to hell. It ain't been right since. Hopefully this one will be right.

This is the guy who built it. All I did was put gas in it and put a drive from Dean @ The Bravo Shop on it. I'm happy Butch is still having fun with it.

That first motor was unreal. Those guys really knew what they were doing. We had never seen anything like that when he got it. Kennyo was right....after the nut, it was never the same.....setup...timing afr....was never correct on the boat after the original dial in.
|
Now the NUT is driving the boat!
|
Speaking of the nut....no insurance...cable steering....fresh blower motor and "old timers disease". LOOK OUT!!

My boat was built before they started the swim platform tips. I think that was 05/06s......... I think they look and sound pretty cool. Some people differ. Here's mine. How's the back? I guess since Debbie broke her leg the Sybian is off?? Regards, Steve |
That's what I thought. I like yours better. Back is doing good considering. Sybian is at the dyno with Nate's Motor. Eddie is so excited about Nates mill.....he is going to ride the sybian.:party-smiley-048:
