No pics for now. Cams are in, boat put into storage, ready for dyno. Wesco Racing Engines did a years worth of work in a few months.

Hey Menace, heard the OE is running great.

I have my project on low priority due to baby on the way. I will get my boating in though. Talk to you soon.

We fired it up and took a cruise on Lake Michigan. The water was perfectly flat. Unbelievable. Everything checked out and it has a clean bill of health.

The baby may slow your wife's boating down but that is more the reason yours should increase.

You may as well start thumbing through the magazines and look for an old man's cruiser.

MarkSmith 04-23-2006 09:15 AM

Re: Let's see Pics of your OE
 
The way I look at it, the 48 OE would be "like" a big cruiser boat.

Hope all is well.

Splashing the OE on Lake Erie today. Took it out a couple weks ago on Lake Michigan and it was flat as a pancake. Today, Lake Erie is it old ugly self with a 10-20 east wind and they are rolling pretty good. We will get wet and the water is still really cold. :eek:

Looks like you will be boating soon. You will be happy with those motors. Just don't try to find out where top end is at everyday. Cruise.

Not sure yet. Been a busy year. Dave told me that you are bringing the Skater to Chicago Poker Run this year. There is an airport less than a mile from the marina. Hint hint!!!!

Hey dude, I have been hearing good things about your boat. Pics look great.

The dyno read 940hp at 6000rpm with 93 octane. 600cu.in. Dart BigM, Dart Aluminum heads, Jesel, hydralic roller set up. Good stuff but conservative on hp. May even change pullys to 4lbs of boost max. Baby on the way!!! :eek:

If he would have put the creams on her to begin with he wouldn't be itching now. :eek:

Hey Frankie, we may be in Chicago in a couple weeks. I have a credit card that still works if you want to go boating.

I saw those engines Saturday. Looking pretty spiiffy. The Arnesons need to be painted metallic silver before they are thrown back on the transom.

The silver won't match the exterior of the boat. So far you, Frank and Dave all said silver but I am sticking to black to match the black accents in the paint job.

If three people tell you you are drunk you are probably drunk.

If three people tell you the drives should be silver they should probably be silver.

Now is the time, they are OFF the boat.

Re: Let's see Pics of your OE
 
Well, I asked 4 girls what color would look better when showing them a picture, they all agreed with me. Red and gray/silver is a clash. When it comes to asking about color or style, I always listen to chics. It looks good on your boat.

The Menace 06-14-2006 02:09 PM

Re: Let's see Pics of your OE
 
Didn't take any chics opinion to make that decision.

When Dave gets your boat done and if your not available Dave and I will take it out for a test run. :D Send gas money please we need to top it before we blast off.

You should love those engines. Second season on mine and they have been great. The ones in the Cig have been performing well too.

Mark

That is good news. I hope the weather cooperates. I am back in Florida so I will not be able to be on the maiden voyage.

Good luck.
