Water pumps fit and the Stellings headers are huge. Will know in a couple days what hatch we will need either a raised race hatch or a flat with scoops still debating.

Looks good VV........

Shoulda gone surface drive probably woulda been at 90. Not being rude your boat is real nice but that's fn slow for 850hp aside something ain't right thats 1700hp in a cat

It will probably do 90 or 100 anyways

Cutting #6 holes a bit nerve racking

We have been looking forward to this day as well a dreading it cutting the hole for #6 drives.
Checked 4 times , went to sleep, got up went out to the shop, looked again , spread the drives outward 1/2 '' , went back to sleep. re cked in the morning . all good , cut the holes . mounts are all cut , lowered the engines 2'' , alining the engines and installing mounts today and tomorrow.

I don't take you being rude, all input is welcome. S-drives were not in my budget. 70 MPH is probably a conservative number. :)

I been looking for awhile for just the right truck for the Cat and finally found one.
Make: Dodge Dually Mega Cab 4x4 Laramie package.
Model: Ram 3500
Mileage: 62,800
Engine: 5.9 Cummins Diesel
All stock except for the 2" front end leveling kit on it. Bed cover. I have ordered a 70 gal. wedge style tank for the bed. Seems to get 18-19 GPM empty.

Running into a hurdle , the shortest drive shaft is 10'', the dual stage sea pump is hitting the bulk head and still can't get the 10'' shaft in.
Even it the shaft fit, the sea pump would be unserviceable.

We went to mount the starboard engine , the outer engine stringer was soft in 3 spots, did a test hole , was wet , Going to cut it out and build a new one , should take a day to rebuild, the other stingers are good

I see enough material there to cut, machine and weld them shorter by an inch or two. Although that doesn't look like that's enough.

We just moved the sea water pumps from the front to the side to allow enough room for the drive shafts. This cat was set up originally for crash boxes witch are a couple inches shorter. All's good now.
