Here's the set up on the Fountain, the last one had a back cap mount as did the Velocity.

Looks like the same set-up I have reversed. My steering rams are on the inside, I think we tried it like that but the tie bar hit the steering ram and would not allow it to line up in the holes.

Shorter tie bar, set below in the inside position should work. The longer tie bar you have would probably bind up somewhere. Still don't think you will need to rag the trim off the chart with the boxes. You need to save that platform for the wifey and the young Miss Vector.

We decided to take the skinny bottom tie bar off and put the top fat one on the underside of the top bracket. Not enough clearance for the both of them. Like you said it is overkill to have them both anyway. Maybe we will get enough clearance not to rip the platform off while lifting the drives. It will look something like this cut and paste paint job I did.

We splashed today,

900 rpm from idle to 3000 rpm she poped up on plane and felt like a bird dog on point in just a matter of seconds best it has ever got on plane. Felt kinda like we were being pushed by a truck. Leon gave it a little more stick.

Then the starboard motor died and Daniel yelled cut the key fuel was pumping into the engine The fuel regulator wasn't working correctly and flooded the engine and we were done.

With any project you have to work out the bugs maybe the next outing will be better. It was well worth the trip to hear the sound of both engines running at the same time and seeing the people checking her out. I was surprised how fast it came on plane. We had the 4 blade 34's on it but no numbers just plenty decible's.

Well I'm off the work again for another 20-25 days so untill next time be safe out there my friends. VV

VV, glad to see it in the water. Sounds like the problem should be an easy fix. Sounds BAD ASSS!!!!! And I know the camera is not doing it justice!!!

Thanks D, Or the man behind the camera

Won't be long now , when it's finished it will be worth all the crap you had to go through . And if that is your truck you will be pulling in style . People will see , and hear you coming . One if by land two if by sea .

Congrats VV, sounds healthy!

So when does it go back in for the next run?

Thanks guys, They should have the bugs worked out by the time I get back. The truck is Derebery's
