Very nice rigging....you could have charged yourself extra if it were an Eliminator being rigged...

 

[sean]

thanks mb:thumbsup
too all of you saying ditch the scoops...:fingers:
unless you guys will be at every destination to clean all that chrome...
im going to pop by the upholstery shop n get a better idea on options and prices. ran with the old ones but, got a check from their new owner so they need to be shipped off we just got a lil ahead of ourselfs on the aircleaners and hope to find a solution without fing the boat up.
she ran ok had some idle issues to work out and toying with a few other things. after about an hour of run time i got into it a lil bit and it shot right up to 107 ya shoulda seen brian (squirtn') need to do a photo shoot n post up the final pix.

LMAO.

He didnt happen to have someone other then himself drive yesterday did he?

 

[sean]

well dave... im not sure at this point. with all the issues we found with the old engines we figured that power number to be MUCH less that the original 600. the speed and rps told me it was right there. now im a solid 180hp more per side so i guess time will tell.:headscratch:

hello everyone. i was on another site (sorry dave) and saw this link. well its been a long time coming to the end but it's only a few days worth of work away from a photo shoot. i did get her out and ran 125.3 @5100 rpm's with throttle left. i had wanted to do a full run but too much crap in the water held me back. pix and more info to follow in the coming weeks just in time for summer:boobeyes:
