I got my fuel injectors back from Brucato. They really do a nice job on them. $25 each, cleaned, flowed, adjusted, hoses, orings and they look new. Total cost on all 6 with shipping and 3 needed calibration was $280. Worth every penny. If you have a outboard and haven't done this. Do it! IMG_3922.jpg

What thickness of wood did you use for the side panels and the seats? I want to build some side panels for my boat and I have looked everywhere for a how to.

Seats frames look great. What kind of plywood did you use? How thick? What is with the holes in the seat backs?

I used 1/4 plywood from Home Depot and put resin on everything.

Daytonas do 100 with a Promax? My buddy just bought Walt's and bought a Promax for it.

Walts is a classic. I'm not sure mine will do 100 with a non X promax but I would be pretty happy if it did.

The holes in the back of the seats are cubby holes instead of the pockets that stretch out.
Like this. View attachment 520093


I feel inspired to build a new bench. Are you building even with the sides of the boat or leaving the seat base a little short to leave room for foam and vinyl? Will your bottom cushions be removable?

The 2.5 ships out today. Boat heads to Martinez at 8 for interior, boat cover, and bimini. New promax should ship to me today or Monday.

New engine showed up
But with a little damage. Hopefully the insurance covers it.

Nothing new to report. Waiting on the shipping company to pay me to get the cowling repaired.

Got the new cowling stickers.

Got scammed on the gear case. Guy said he would take $800. I sent $800. Then he said he wanted $500 more or he wasn't sending it. Won't return my money either.

WTF!! Was it complete or just the case??

If it is complete, $1300 isn't a bad deal but if it's just the case he is out of his mind and should return your money.

How did you pay him??

I had a post on Scream and Fly stating I was looking for a 3 liter Sportmaster lower. This guy said he had one and wanted $1000. Just the case. I offered $800 including shipping. He agreed so I used my Capital One card to wire him the money through Chase. Once he got the money he said his business partner wouldn't let it go for that price and he wanted $500 more. I told him I didn't have anymore money to send and he stopped replying. Won't answer the phone. So I'm screwed. Lesson learned.

Can you dispute the payment through your card, or no because you wired the money through Chase?

I figured $800 on a case was fair. Guess not.
Price was more than fair. I sold my 4 hole CLE case on S&F for $300 + shipping.


You can dispute that charge with Cap One, you will get your money back.

I have a claim filed with Capital One but I don't think they will cover it.

You better blast him on S&F. They hate that shit over there. He won't be able to sell that thing at all after that. If he actually has it at all.

They better, I had similar difficulties and Master card was right on top of it..... That guy is quite the prolific scammer by the google search. He's been hitting every high traffic motorsports forum there is it seems.

Keep in touch with Greg, he's a great guy and will help you as much as he can. I'd stop posting about it though, the regular trollers there are all over it and most of the time it goes sideways.

I have a nice couple freshwater cases that need thread repair. If they come out to my satisfaction I'll hook you up.
