We're in the CA Delta, and just finished the Big Cat run put on by the lions club. I think the guy that owns the quad Skater is older than me. ,Only talked with him briefly @ a couple of runs. Boat seems to run pretty well.

The cool part is when he leaves a dock or harbor. He onley starts the 2 mouter motors and does his manuvering , the heads for the open water, lites up # 3, lites up #4, Then rolls on the throttle. Sounds awesome.

I screwed up a bunch of the pics, but there's a couple to look at.

Thanx for the cudos,the stills are ok, I was having a bad hair day on the moving stuff. ( hadn't used that lens in awhile)
Moral support is good, I appriciate it when I jump in and find it deeper than expected. (most of my projects) I want to see it finished so I can wish for one.

I got the rebuilt powerheads back and using the down time to install the 1" spacer kits that are reccommended to improve midrange.
When you do that you have to extend the throttle linkage (supplied) and also reposition the lower cowling to engine bracket 1" forward drilling new holes and using fender washers pictured below
