Boat should go faster when I can find a better prop. PLans are in the works for more power though. :cool-smiley-027::cool-smiley-011:

You guys got a TON of work done. Congrats on the god job. Looks like I may have to give back your carb sooner than I thought.

You need to just go get one of Bigandy's carbs for the time being, since he won't need them anytime soon. :evilb:

I wish I could say you were right about Trojan's boat running next weekend but we still have a LOT of work ahead of us. I never want to do fiberglass work again.:traurig001:

Chad needs to get the exhaust tips and then the engine compartment will almost be complete. Now it's time to wire and plumb.:(

Does he need tips or tails? I hae some of that rubber exhaust hose that might be long eniugh for what ya'll are doing.

Did you guys get a new mount for the front of the engine. I saw an oil pan the other day,that they fixed the clearance problem by very delicatley bashing the front of the pan to clear the offshore mount.

I need tips and exhaust hose. The guy I got the superboat from is sending me the tips whenever he gets to work on his velocity...apparently it is still cold in CT.

We should have the mount problem taken care of. I am using the different offshore mount out of the superboat, it is a GIL. The stringers in the superboat are way closer together than the banana, so Dr. Blackwood is welding an extension plate onto the mount so she will bolt up. :party-smiley-004:
