It's running good. Needed to add suplimental oil coolers this winter so I had to pull both motors. While they were out I decided to add some additional "quick disconnect" items to make them that much easier to take in and out. Now I can have both motors in the boat and running in about 3 hours!
Got a late start on her this season though so I just got her back on the water!
How have you been, how is yours running?

It was running great last summer till the tranny went out. The only thing I can think of was water was leaking on my tranny vent through my transom/exhaust seals that were not sealing. Trany worked but would slip when loaded hard. When I pulled the tranny it was full of water. Cooler pressure tested fine at 40PSI of air.
So as you know one thing leads to another. Pulled both engines, reglassed a broken stringer, cleaned and painted bilge, pulled off drives and tabs, filled in all pits primed and painted and rebuilt gimbals. While new engines were out what better time to add JimV's (Valako Race Heads) new Dart Pro1 casted heads. New pushrods, roller lifters and rewire the whole boat starting under the dash back.
Seeing this is the pic of your Scarab forum I will put a few up of my progress.
What #'s are you seeing with the fresh power?
