Hey Pat, how is the progress?

Sure...but who are you kidden, you won't go.\

I'm thinkin alittle carb work and maybe some BBlades work.

She'll see 85-86 I need about 500/700 rpm to get the boat dryer

don't be a stranger

OH!!! It was a shake down run. 80 gallons of fuel and all my tools and all the standard summertime gear.

A couple more tweaks a Hyper won't stand a chance....

He's already scared I bet $1000.00 bucks that he couldn't get past me today or even this saturday. He won't take the bet.

Well, I got the steering hooked up last night and ran the engine on the garden hose. Two brackets to make to get the fuel pump and fuel filter mounted permentily.
The list is getting shorter but still includes mounting the drive and switching the linkage to run right hand, fix the passenger seat, wash, wax, and lots of little time consuming tasks...
I'm hoping to test ride in a week or so...

Hey V what a 136 drive? just because it had that on it or had another reason behind it. Good numbers on the 82.8 best i saw was 81.7 with the old motor.

Did you buy the "Been There" 280?

I'm off on Fridays. can you get one off any time soon?

The drive was changed by the previous owner. The old motor was turning some big rpms. I like it because there are fewer and larger teeth on the gears. I'm pushing over 600 hp, I think they handle the load better.

Ah ok got ya. Sounds good answered my question. How is the planing time with it?.
-Mike

I don't think so......the ownership of my 280 has been tracked back to Hutchenson's in up state NY.

ME....Hyper.....Ragged Edge (for a week)......some guy dominic......Original owner.

I've done the motor, grapics (color change) dash etc....it's almost new
