I expect to be going into the power head shortly,
Tiz the season

Nice boat! Are the sides a custom fade or something or is just the picture? More pics?

Nice! Let us know how that BIG JOHNSON runs.

Dave the fade was an option. I have seen many like it. Dont know what year he stopped that. AS far as parts I will send you a pm with his number. The power out of the V8,s are great but the fuel bill is going to kill you. A local he twinn 300 V8,s on a cat and sold the cheap expecting to go faster with new 300 mercs , it was just a pipe dream. the boat went the same speed. but he did save on his fuel bill.

something is amiss here. I did not post my last post starting with (dave the fade was an option) yesterday. That was weeks ago. What gives ?

They were talking about missing threads and posts in the Gen. Disc. too.

I think every time someone votes in the poll it shows the last post...

So far I'm very happy with the motor.
So far she starts right up when its only 40*s outside, (Puget Sound winter speed runs)
Runs plenty strong and has no problem kicking out the RPMs seen 6500 rpms so far at 69 mph GPS. doing some prop testing tomorrow.
I have a buy on a 17" Hydra jackplate locally that I'm leaning towards, and will post pics of new Livorsi gauges w bezels soon, (going in tonight) and custom, matched steering wheel.

That is correct. dont really understand why the board gods do it that way. I would think that the graph should be popping up in that case...
