Kemah to Galveston run in the am
 

I know it is short notice but we r going to make a run to Galveston in the am. If anyone would like to join meet under the kemah bridge @ 1030. I'll be in the white/purple/yellow 25 outlaw.

That was last minute notice. Hope you had fun. Anyway, my 1994 Cigarette Top Gun is still in the shop getting the ASD7M Arneson Conversions. I had some delays. If all goes well, my test run will be Easter weekend. I may need someone to follow us if we break down. Engines pulled, one rebuilt, larger oil coolers, new fuel pumps, new steering, transmissions and drives. That's a lot of changes to get right the 1st time and a lot could go wrong. I will be launching under the Kemah bridge. I sure would feel better if someone followed me just in case. Also, I need someone to video tape the rooster tail from outside the boat!!!!

It was a blast until I sucked up a little mud and shell at offats then spent the next couple of hours getting the mud/ shell out of the cool fuel and oil cooler, broke a water pump housing, buddie then put the water pump on backwards... All that fun stuff that comes with working on your boat while its in the water!! We had another 25 outlaw run with us. I can follow ya if I dont have to work prob won't be able to keep up though! Let me know I got the gopro to catch the rooster tail.

I guess you don't have sea strainers. Sorry to hear about your mishap. I'll PM you when its time for the test run. Are you planning on Tickfaw 200?

Strainers are now on the to do list! I would love to do tickfaw but my wedding anniversary is may 6 and sons birthday is may 8 so that pretty much eliminates me doing tickfaw for a while at least! Who's doing all your work? What kind of power you got in it? Shoot me a pm a few days prior.

man I would have like to have made the trip

When's the next one?

Anytime! I got to back flush and buff this weekend next week but other than that I'm down.

Gulf Coast Composites in Kemah/Seabrook is doing all the work. I am taking off my 2 bravo 1 drives with the Halo Max drive showers off. I don't know what I am going to do with them. They will most likley sit in my garage along with 2 sets of props. I had to get one engine rebuilt because it had a bad cylinder and water marks on one of the cylinders. I am getting larger oil coolers, SEA STRAINERS :cartman:, new fuel pumps, ASD7M Arneson Surface drives and a new helm for the steering of the Arneson Drives. Also, external water pickups. I bought some used props. This sure is costing a lot of money. This convesion better work. Twin 600s.

I'll PM you when I make my trial run as well. I hope I have everything together soon. Tickfaw 200 registraion deadline is April 20th and I need to make sure my boat is right before I make reservations. I don't care if I go in my boat to Tickfaw, I just want to go. It sound fun.

Had the same problem, Put low water pickup's and sea strainers and solved all problems. Do not pick water up from my drives anymore. Maintance on mine next week and ready to run. We can meet up somewhere.
