Long story, picked up this hull from Freezin Jim a while back with the intensions of running in the then Parker 300. First stop was Islander marine for the glass tank removal and new bulkhead work for the new aluminum tanks. Second stop was Prime marine for the pedal set up, v-drive rebuild, new strut, shaft and a few other things. Now shes home and being mated to a 540 TT EFI Billy Dunsmore motor I picked up here on RDP. Im to busy with work and other projects to rig this boat, so Bad Czek wil be doing the rigging and the driving. We are looking for sponsors and team members to make all this happen.
There you go Dave, Front Page

Stringer rails were abused over the years so Uncle Rick Snavely welded them up and I milled them back down and shaped the new plate blocks to fit. Whipped out a trans cross member cause that too was abused to death. Pretty much everything in this boat was worn out.
Meanwhile over at Joe's shop the motor tear down begins. :thumbsup

Anything that comes through the door. I have a small job shop, mostly machine gear boxes for frost protection "wind machines" and a lot of farm and dairy repair.
On the welding side we build boat dock frames, do some structural steel work and whatever else is drug through the door. Lol

Last night got her up on the stand, got it leaked down and the valves lashed in. Rick has the program down loaded from Autronics, gotta make a cable to connect to the laptop and then we should know how she is currently set up. Today we will drop the pan and the rod caps and if all checks out we will be on the dyno next week. Other than a bad front cover gasket so far so good:thumbsup Really cool to have Tom Masek (Masek Racing engines) and Rick Snavely (Snavely racing engines) helping on this venture, thanks boys !

Heres what was found, motor had a stretched timing chain, cracked oil pickup and a bad oil pump. While Tom and Rick buttoned her up I was milling the the plate blocks and making spacers to raise the motor plates up for the oil pans to clear the hull. We will be at the dyno this week :thumbsup
Oh, AJ approves !

I think that Scott is the new RDP intern. He took Nord, then Hammer now Pink Taco's place as the one who gets shit done.

Carl can we get you on board as the teams mouthpiece, low pay lotta beer and a slight chance at finishing :D


I'll get you a better seat than last year :thumbsup

If you need an extra hand in the pits I will volunteer my services. That is if I'm not "volunteering " for RD and working the enduro...

So you're offering the position of Vice-President of Team Communications with no pay, a couple of luke warm beers and no chance at the podium?

I'm all in!

:D
