Winter Upgrades?
 

Anyone else besides MiamiBoys doing any upgrades?

My engine is in the garage ready to go to the dyno. After a baseline, I plan on tearing it down, installing Jessel Shaft Rockers, larger injectors, and a custom ground cam that was done by Marine Kinetics. Maybe then I'll be at the 648HP that my previous dyno sheet said!!

A true 650 HP should get me in the mid 70's with my 28.

Anyone else?

I've been stripping mine down for a complete redo. all cosmetic no mechanical. The gel coat work should be done in about 7 weeks. Repowder coating all the accessories, all new guages, new dash panels & switches, throttle controls, and of course engine pretty stuff from Fred. Oh yea ,I'm rebuilding the carb also.

Kirk, post some pics.

duunoit, was that the older race boat that was in florida, and was a friend of Jo's?

Re: Winter Upgrades?
 

yep, sure is. I bought it back in October. It's turning out to be more of a project than I thought but that's how "projects" are. I'm having to reglass the outdrive hole and move it a little. I'll take pictures as I go and make a new thread. I'm still hoping for an early spring launch.

Duunoit, looks like a cool ride. What are you doing for pwr?

The winter should go by better with different "project" threads. I'll start mine soon after a few more pics are taken.

Storm what's next?

The plan is a 540 about 625hp...

I've got some other stuff that I need to get rid of first. I've still got plenty of work (fiberglass and rigging) that I need to do to keep me busy until I can get it.

Chris, I always thought that was a cool ride. Best of luck getting it up to par.

Tom, nothin on the burner but 2400sq ft of construction(addtion).
So I guess I'll hang around giving worthless (boatless) input. :D

We're just rigging a 28 for a customer with a Konrad and new panel.

I'll post up pics when I get 'em.
