Soooo, cockpit done and no pics when we've seen every bit of this restoration? Did adding all that interior weight slow your rocket ship down?
Andy Still working on upholstery as I have time. Here’s a few photos from the last few weeks. I’ll show more as we get the kinks worked out. https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...e435577be.jpeg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...e003c2f06.jpeg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...293392d82.jpeg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...25259a1f5.jpeg |

I don’t think I’ve posted these 2 videos here. They’re from the last few weeks. The one without the engine hatch is when we were trying the 18x32 4 blades that vibrated. They also shoot a nice roost. I’ll try to take video of more interesting stuff than just the roost over and over..

Heath,
Betcha can't wait until you hit some bigger water. The diff between your 30' and your 38' is like night and day. You were worried that the driver bolster didn't line up with the steering wheel - I bet you don't even notice it, do you? Glad to see you're finally enjoying the fruits of your labor. Is the 30' Scarab 2 gone? Waiting patiently for a new Bahama video. Andy |

Left engine acted up the last time we had it out on the 4th of July. Hard to start, low on power. Sounded like it had a dead cylinder. Finally got around to a compression check. Left motor # 3 cylinder had 80 psi. #4 had 0! Put the scope in there, #4 had a hole in the exhaust valve, #3 had tuliped.
As I was taking it apart I noticed the MAP sensor hose had come off the manifold. Causing the ignition to be too advanced. Hindsight being 20/20, shoulda put a hose clamp on it. It was a tight fit on a barbed fitting I never thought would have backed off. Oh well, sending heads off Monday to be reworked. We’ll be back on the water soon. https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...b2b99874f.jpeg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...d60f0fcce.jpeg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...db2d65257.jpeg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...b276d5cd5.jpeg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...786e341d6.jpeg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...6b9f5724a.jpeg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...83e0907c6.jpeg |
