I'm so Sorry, Very Sad. Doug

My 525 only had 49 hours on it, cyls 7&8 but I bought it that way. One side had a pin hole in a collecter but this boat also had exahuast diverters. A No-No as per Mercury Racing. Donnie at Offshore Performance has been a big help. I put the repaired headers back on after JC Perf totally rebuilt...

I just replaced a set of 525 headers. The new set had a different fitting on one side. After some phone calls I was told that there is a Mercury mod to route all of the water through the headers and plug and remove the (bottom)bypass hoses to the tailpipes. If you still have bottom bypass hoses...

You shear a sheep many times, but you can only skin it once.

I mow an 1.5 acres in 25 minutes. I bought a Ferris with a 72" deck, 4 wheel Independant suspension, 34 H.P. Cat Diesel Power. I GPS 15 MPH on the straight runs. Get R done, Doug

I went to LED's in the cabin also, they use so much less power. Nice Boat. Doug

At altitude your indicated airspeed might be only 245 knots when you true airspeed is 500 knots. (very thin air and temp-40 C). % of Mach is used at altitude. I think a A330 cruises at .80 to .82 . Differance between high speed stall and low speed stall is very narrow up high, like 15 knots...

I use nitrogen in all my tires. There are some other advantages, althought I think the extra MPG thing is bs. If the pressure is rite, its rite. There is no water or moisture in nitrogen. Ever have a aluminium wheel corode to a tire or have the bead corode so it leaks? I have also been told that...

Top Banana, Who makes your front bolsters? Very nice boat, Will I get to see it in Miami? Doug

Tell us more. Did you dyno both a 500 and a 525? Doug

Answered my own question. Automatic tire chains, Onspot has alot of info and videos. I have never seen them on a pickup, but I guess their available. Doug http://www.onspot.com/

I see them alot on oil delivery trucks in our area. Don't they spin around from a friction wheel when they are engaged? Doug

My wife has one and she loves it. That being said, I hate it. She does't pay the bills. I've spent over $6000 on the engine in the past year. I don't mind turning wrenches, but I as stay far away as my wallet will allow. It now needs 4 new oxygen senors at about $500 each. I'll have to go...

Very Nice! Can you order a F650 from the factory with 4 wheel drive? It seems on the 650.com site 4WD is about a 40K option. :eek: Doug
