emmm worst yet changing out starters IMO there is no reason to put twin I/O's in a 2750. Twin outboards currently yes until a affordable 600 hp outboard comes a lot and does not weigh a ton. Yeah I know Seven Marine but the 626 hp is like 92 K per one. the 557 hp is like 72 K. But there...

You are 100 percent correct about the Merc Racing side here. My post as I left that out about the Racing side Optimax's. But Merc still recommends the DFI oil for Merc Optimax's as I mentioned. And you are correct it is red in color for the Merc racing oil.

The boat is very nice and in person better yet. Seen it twice so far. Outboard boats seem to be selling very well for the past 5 years and year over year have increase sales hugely. And it seems builders are designing and marketing for outboard apps more so than ever. IMO for the money the...

Sorry for the change of pace here but wanted to add to help out whomever for longevity of the optimax engines - it is important that the air injectors and fuel injectors get flow tested and cleaned every x amount of years. I know cause I get them in weekly to perform that service from dealers...

nice boat and interior. Wanted to ask who is rigging the engine side of all of that ? This is a R & D engine build ? Hard to tell in pic of engine compartment for a water hose - inlet water supply - is there a water pick up mounted on the port side transom externally ? Or are you supplying...

the new stock marine Direct injection engines run at 2200 to 2250 fuel pressure -- the high pressure fuel pump under the intake manifold. Volvo for instance has the external Carter cool fuel cell with a low pressure fuel pump at around 8 psi and the high pressure fuel pump at around 60 to 70...

We use tracerline its the dye and lite combo kit. Been using it a very long time on prob over 350 if not more boats.

Not going to disagree about the sizing fuel lines as bigger ID is better in most all cases - but in the stock Mercruiser apps there is many corks in the fuel side of the engine. On the 496 for instance - 2006 and up with the gen 3 cool fuel the exit fuel line ID coming out of the back side of...

I will agree about firecore and throw in the mix magnacore wires as well. That is correct about resistance per ft means nothing as what to buy. That is marketing BS about one needs wires of lowest resistance. Actually its the other way around. If anyone needs the exact spark plug wire sets...

Found this as I do not post very much up here. One thing that was not mentioned is AVAILABLE POWER from a scan. If the available power is showing 100 % on the scan --- IT IS NOT IN GUARDIAN MODE as you are running the down the water ways. If guardian mode is taking place - it will show a...

We are not going to make LOTO with the 29. One is being picky with the boat build is one reason we are behind. The main reason for a while now delaying completion is the interior being the waiting game for the boat. As we all know many builders especially for Sportboat builders, they do not...

Who designed and made the interior for the boat and how long did it take from start to installed ? Thank you

Trying to post more

have a few more pics to show of the engine build. We reordered another cam for the better.

Hopefully these post as well

Here some progress for the machine work all of that end is done. Engine being built as we speak.

Hey its John and here is some added info about the Hillborn. The 4 back fittings and the back side of black manifold on the Hillborn do not have the hoses connected to those individual stacks sections yet. They will be. That basically is a manifold for vacuum per 8 that uses the MAP sensor...

Vroom Vroom I can hear now. Red for one fast sled

That is CORRECT Lavey Craft has been waiting on me. (John). They have worked with me better than anyone else in the marine world like no other. I requested 100 % to leave the boat in the mold longer and continue to - as they (Lavey Craft) has always been ready to move forward with the...

Lavey29 so your first name is not Lucas ? Just asking
