Thanks RHR !

I'm a photographer and will be the 1st to tell you I know nothing when it comes to building an engine...

But now that I have generated some attention with these fine mills, the owner himself Speed Racer has now signed up with Serious Offshore ! :cheers2:

and of course, Shanghied Again has most of the details as he lives with this boat all week long... :D

Having hung out with Bob on the last two NJPPC Chesapeake Bay Rendezvous', I can tell you he's no lurker - the guy is a 100% participant. He!! of a dockboy, too...
 
Very much looking forward to Miami Boat Show and running the boat in the Poker Run. One engine was installed this past Saturday and we should be running both at the shop this weekend. Total re-rigging from the dash back as well as new sound and video system. Every hose as well as 24 gueages(many manual) were re-rigged.

Looking forward to getting behind the wheel again. We will start test runs out of Grove Harbor on Monday of the Miami Boat Show.
 
congrats:driving:, wish you the best on your testing.can't wait to get mine out for a run, I am hoping for 100 plus and you must be going for 180 plus with 1300hp a side:driving: be safe and have fun.
 
Both engines were in and running today !!! :driving:

Bilge hasn't been cleaned yet so excuse any filth..... ;)

Don't get me wrong... I am not criticizing the rigging at all, just sharing a trick. When you ziptie something on like the control cable to the braided hose, I like to space it with the ziptie going thru a little piece of rubber/silicon etc tubing, this prevents chaffing against the braid due to vibration. This holds the control cable in place, but also protects it and allows a little wiggle room by providing a slight stand-off. Motocross/atv aftermarket fuelcap vent tubing works well and comes in a wide range of colors to matc the motor/bilge etc.....

Straight from Ron Potter:
"...I can’t tell you how many times I have heard a customer tell me, the oil pump belt just came off...

I'm up to $20k in fixing crap on one mill just because of that this winter alone.... Plus the missed enjoyment. I can certainly understand Mr. Potter's logic.

I also had a oil pump belt jump off when I blew out a blower belt this summer.

I had billet Titan oil pumps in my 653ci/1000hp Zull's in my Tiger and they never had an oil failure.
