Total Sign Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 One of the best things I did on my boat. Makes it a lot more spacious and usable. I think I have some spare buckets too. Ever get your engine issues figured out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wnaplay1647545503 Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 Let me know on the buckets. After researching the engine issues, I am almost 100% sure its just a tune-up issue. I have spoken with a few mechanics and they have assured me thats more than likely the cause. I fired it up to winterize it and it ran perfect. Spring will tell for sure.

Total Sign Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v177/Hyperbaja/bilge2011.jpg Bilge now, gotta get rid of the motor mounts for an offshore mount, and move the bilge hose clamp back a couple inches to clear the new mounts. Also need a new steering valve. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v177/Hyperbaja/rear12011.jpg New water pickup, sea strainer installed with dump valve, drive was gone thru, cryo'd XR gears, ceramic bearings, all thats left is to drill the water passage out and return it as a dump on top. Thru-hull dumps for the strainer pop off and intercooler are in. With steering wingplate and the dump valve in the drive I wont run the current shower, after running the Cumberland Poker Run in dads sea ray this year he needs one bad.... coincidence?

wnaplay1647545503 Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 Of course if the right deal came along I would get rid of the boat in a heartbeat and buy something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FormulaMatt Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 both Kick ass. Who's it made by again? and its on hold at the moment, throwing 20k at the motor build cut into play biz cash, what do you need done, you may push me over the edge on it Well actually, the interior is good - already done. But, I was hoping if I could push you to start the interior biz, I can get you to venture into covers too. That I need badly. I guess eventually I will have to take it to your Amish buddy if you don't get into them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Total Sign Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 If your still going LSX, Hardin Marine has made a couple sets of headers. They probably sell for 5-6k plus the tail pipes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping for mid to upper 60's this yr. Maybe flirt with 70. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you feel like you can go more, the one I will be playing with this year will be a 25, you are welcome to use that too if needed. I'm hoping this will be the last one I need, prop guessing is getting expensive. You decide on a shopping list for your engine yet? Or are you going to do that same build as the "triple digits" project? Either way, cant wait to see it. Come on 70 degrees!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam1647545489 Posted March 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 Prolly gonna go with whats been proven. Seeing as it already will have the vortec heads, do a good cam, intake and carb with msd ignition. Then a few interior clean up things, more boom in the stereo and then run it. If it does 65+ I will be extremely happy. I cant wait to get all of us together for a boating day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
