I've had a few bad experiences with performance boats and decided to take a break. I got back into "sailboat racing" (I know...oxymoron!!!) and hence the screen name change. Felt silly being known as NORTECH380 without owning a Nortech any longer. The Lightning in my profile is actually a sailboat and not a "beak boat". Just had some insider fun with that...
I've got a flats fishing boat these days with a 250XS that keeps me interested. I'd like to get something else but I lost a good chunk of change on a new boat deposit from some well-known builders in Miami which left a sour taste in my mouth(NOT Pantera). Hope all is going well. MB |
Fired her up on the hose today. Damn that big block sounds good. :evilb: :evilb:
Hasn't been run in 2-3 months and it started right up. :drink: Still an outboard guy down deep, but you can't ever get enough of that staight pipe sound, I don't care who you are. :ernaehrung004: |
jeff, you done much to the engine? or still the same.

Haven't done too much. When I first brought it home, I had a friend of mine do a "once over" on it, and checked the valves. Since then I've changed the oil every 15-20 hours and had the Stainless Marine tail pipes lengthened and made dry until the very end of the pipe (outside the boat). :drink: |

Are you sure that's Annapolis in the background? That looks like the 24 I sold to Nick out in England...
Chris its real similar to mine in the paint job which I think is great - tracks the lines of the boat and shows it off. |
Just gonna bring this back to the top since it's now spring time. :p :ernaehrung004:
Nothing has changed since Oct, other than I've put a few hours on it. ;) |

It's been in the water 3 times since labor day. :( Just throwing back to the top to see if anyone bites. ;) |
Here's a few shots of the "important part" from a couple weeks back. :drink:
