Out There

Took a couple of photos tonight. I had to add hydraulic steering and decided to pick up one of Scott's (Littledcsrodshop) ITS Transom and XR. He was very difficult to deal with and I lost an arm and a leg over the whole thing
Seriously, quite the opposite, thanks Scott!
Scott's Saber is showroom new and looks like it has never been in the water!
I am hoping the 7" set back will be good for the set up.
I have a 496HO and will be adding CMI Headers when I reassemble.
I am sending out the injectors to have them cleaned and flow tested as well.
Any ideas on where to pick up some braided lines to run from my trim pump to the drive? The ITS is a liitle different and has fittings on the inner transom plate where the lines connect and run up to the front of the engine compartment where they are mounted.

Thanks guys. Easy Tom I know where you live dude!
Pictures will be slow know because I'M back in the cave under the house where its hard to take photos. I'll try though. I hope the ITS adds to handling but I don't expect much in terms of speed. Maybe the CMIs will offset the XR and rear weight. My biggest fear is that it will upset the boats handling/balance in some manner. We'll see soon enough.
I have to order steering components tomorrow and get the injectors sent out.

went with Greg this afternoon to play. His boat ran great!
headers looked sweet and the drive and steering works very well. The wind kicked up on Lanier with a front that blew through and the water got bumpy. There were white caps every where. We had a blast running around.
Thanks!!!

Oooh the seas were nasty today my friend. Was lucky enough today to have our own Tomeci back on the East Coast today to play on Lanier. Just enough wind and wave action to have a blast.
Initial results on the ITS are very good. The steering took out all the unnerving twisting coming off power. Hard to tell yet but I don't believe it has gained or lost any speed. Well, I guess it has picked up speed with the 26 bravo 1 that was on it. Need to go back to the rev 4 and see what happens.
It did not take as much trim and lost the tendency to go skyward off the larger waves.
Funny enough Tom took the wheel and effortlessly found a better combination of trim and tabs!
Tom also looked into the bilge for short intervals and all was good!

Was the boat set up at the factory with a bravo or was it converted to the ITS from another drive? Looks great, I really like the swim step placement and the whole transom look. What Hp are you running?
