I don't think Kingsmills ramp can handle anything bigger than 20'. There are 3 marinas on the Chickahominy.
1. Colonial Harbor it has gas,ramp and restaraunt 2. Rockahock Campground it has ramp and restaraunt. no gas. 3. Rivers Rest it has gas,ramp,restaraunt and a motel. I've got a full dock and house at my place on friday night but any body that wants to stay at one of the 3 places on the Chick can follow my group up Saturday morning at 8:30. Rocksteady puts in at Colonial Harbor usually i'm sure he would be glad to lead anybody downriver to meet up with us. |

Burned holes in 2 pistons. Looks like the fuel pump was the wrong one and starved the engine for fuel. Ocean Marine run is NOT going to happen. :(

Russ, sorry to hear that man!
If you and Faith want to make a quick trip down to SML, we can find room for you on Friday and during the run on Saturday. |

I don't like to run over 4k RPMs for to long, just the way I am... that and I can't afford to rebuild every year, heck I can't afford it every other year either...lol:chimp:

Steering? Hydraulic? Full or assist. I know what you mean about drilling holes. I installed A/C in my last boat and cringed as I drilled a 3/4 hole 4 inches above the waterline!!!! Oil filter...dummy!! you don't screw it on, line it up then tap it down with a hammer!!! :eek: :D |
External dual ram for now....will add the full kit either this winter or next spring...depends on if I can keep it in my mother in laws garage over the winter.
Now with the oil filter this ain't no Ford motor Russ....no hammering, but I got the big oil filter cup and an adapter to my 1/2 inch impact. That oughta make it tight enough. Sure you don't want me to come down and beat those pistons back into that block? I got it down and I don't even need a ring compressor:p |
Russ has had his tool privleges taken away. After smokin a motor....:( He will have to earn them back now.

Russ, I can't believe it. I've been messing around all winter and I may make it onto the water - reliably - before you! I fired my 'new' engine this afternoon. Tomorrow is clean up, timing, and putting the drives on, then water test Saturday afternoon.
If there's anything I can do to help you out let me know.. |
Told you CARBS!!!!!! only way to go. How much cheaper is the Fuel Injection now???? :o
But am I one to tell you "I TOLD YOU SO????" |
I'm liking carbs better with mods. EFI is good if you are near a shop that can tune for you. Gets expensive to work on EFI's.
