hey artie

it is not as high as it looks. the old trs package has very very deep. over 6". doug (sabre marine) has some strong running boats out there that he has set up. ben and doug spent a lot of time on drive heights before they started.

Nice to see this thread.

Make sure to tell Sheri at least you didn't go with dry-sump 6's......:sifone:
 
Todd , we sure seem to burn the midnight + oil , wine for me and rum and coke for you . Todd , just by chance was it Captian or Sailor Jerry's ? HA HA HA I ,will give you a shout this week .
 
Good question..... Looking good bro!! Did you get your small boat done before starting this project?:cheers2:

hi jack
still working on the little one. spent about 3 hours with a grinder today. all that is left to grind is the transom. thank god.
hey you should take the ferry across the lake this summer.
oh and on the konrad thing, and i knew it would be brought up. i just love speedmasters, and i got this setup for a good price. plus my trs package was mounted so low, to make konrads work right i still would of had to do all of this glass work to mount them up higher .

Todd,
Ahhh, that makes sense to me. Bravos would have been nice for one reason, more engine room....:willy_nilly: The progress looks great! I cant wait to here how it runs.. As for taking the ferry over, lets do it this summer!! I have been wanting to for 2 years now. I would like to check out that side of the lake.

Love the 3a's, was just curious.
Nice to see the older rides being cared for properly.
 
progress report. transom assy's are on for mock up. port motor is hanging also, getting the new motor mounts in. starboard tab mounting bracket is back on after repairing the gel that got pulled off. also got the transom cleaned up real nice.
