It's keeping the hose off of the carb linkage. Nice boat!!!!!!!

 

[Toasty]

very nice glad to see it running what blowers are you using?

 

[Bertram38]

Blowers are 174s B & M. Pushing about 6Lbs of Boost.
Yeah, I moved exhaust hose over from Carb Linkage, rather not have any throttle problems you know.
All in all I had a blast, plan on going out again on sunday, More videos to come.
P/S I am on a shoe string budget with this bad boy. I will post more still photos down the way.

Thanks for the compliments everyone. :sifone:

Mercury had nice pipes for that configuration maybe some are still around. I ran them on my “M” Boat. That was all we were allowed in those days.

I was going to say need some real exhaust on those blower motors

Again, all evil cost money. I am on a shoe string budget. I am lucky to even run this bad boy after a long 3 year restoration on her.

I am stoked big time just to be on the water again. Whoo Hooo:sifone:

 

[FastTimes]

Congrats- very cool boat.

 

[Bertram38]

Here we go, the first splash after 3 year Restoration, Starboard Engine cooked in about 10 minuits, bummer. Two months later another bullit replaced. Now all is well.
