nice work.

Is that a quonset style garage? i was thinking about putting one of those up where did you buy it from and how do you like it?

Yea its nice lots of head room but pain to mount lights and garage door to it. Well actually it's a pain to attach any thing to it

250 I give you and others credit who take on DYI projects. Not only do most of them turn out great, I can't fathom how much you guys know and the patience I don't have. I look forward to seeing the progress.

Took it out today. Ran good got a problem with the power steering getting really hot. So hot u can hear it boiling in the reservoir. Idk why it's doing that. It sounds so good with a 21 it goes 52 and hit rev limiter. So i put some prop i had laying around on it come off out board i thing. 24 pitch. Ran 57 after that but still hits rev limiter very easy at 5500 im gonna bump it up to 6300. But id like to find a prop that goes mid 60s at around 5600. The gear ratio is 1.68 il post some pics and video. What do yal think about prop

Sounds like a 1.50 drive is the ticket.

Power steering needs a cooler that's why its boiling. The boat looks great nice work.
