Engines are ready to ship and should go out Monday or Tue. They have both been started and ran for a short time.

Parts stacking up, Had to remove the Thunderbolt ignition from behind the engines (see thread 101) and going with MSD ignition, also have to re-mount the remote oil filter from behind the engine. (101) Just don't have a whole lot of room behind the motors or anywhere for that matter. Going to need a shoe horn to make everything fit. Fat is good though. The drives are race drives with HD stuff inside 1" short and should look great behind the Imco boxes

Feel it out and in no time you will find yourself comfortable. I just came back from my first afternoon in the new twin step 35 Lightning, and I love the way this thing works.

I like that he figured it out by watching a promo video and felt ready after his 1st day !!! He didn't seem to impress Tres much . But I hope he takes his advise . Boating is no fun if someone gets hurt
