Trying to keep up with PP Jay and AJ!

I planned on buying a new boat, but things came up and I'm now unable so I will just keep what I have.

So are you going to dig into the motors to keep up with the PP clan or just go with different power I guess is my question.

Dunno yet.

Looks like I'm gonna have to tear down the strarboard engine. Metal shavings in the oil. Hope it's just the cam like the other one.

Man that sucks. It doesn't have flat tappet camshafts does it? I can't imagine that it would. Good quality roller lifters don't generally fail that often unless the valve spring pressure is crazy.

All of that stuff was claimed to be low hour... I would be very unhappy if indeed it was misinformed info to get rid of the boat. But hey- at least when youre done you will KNOW exactly what you have... Thatll give some peace of mind

Revinchevy

Yep flat tappet. Smoked the cam in the port engine third time out. Probably swap both out to rollers if thats what i find.

Revinchevy

I dont think he misinformed. Im assuming its a cam. Pretty common for these engines around the hours that are on em. Like you said at least ill know.

Revinchevy

Ill get her fixed up and ready to rip. AJ get yours together so ive got some competition next summer.

Working with Full Throttle Marine to rebuild my 377s to a pretty exciting 383 build on my Dominator. Having my outdrives repainted. New trailer tires, fix the left tail light, and if the funds allow I'd love to go EoH brakes. Navigation system.

The plan is to be ready for next year's Texas Outlaw Shootout and then a LOTO trip.

I was planning on doing LEDs inside the boat, but then the engines had other plans for my money.
