Hey fellas, finally got my boat back after the BS i had to deal with.

I purchased a house last august and I can now say I am owner of a 3 car garage WOO HOO!!! so i have the new tank, new oil pan.(4 gate, 12 quart with windage tray) for the trusty 351w.

im living in piscataway now and the deck off projec t will commence soon. I plan on rewiring the entire boat, installing the gas tank, pulling the motor and throwing ont he new oil pan and oil pick up. Fixing the crack at the starboard rear corner. new rub rails and dunking her in.

if this motor fails to start for some odd reason im just going to buy a FPS 501 stroker short block and throw on some worked over steel heads.

oil pan (all the rust was removed and primered with a special marine primer)-madpoodle reccomended it)

Welcome back.
AOTH this year?

I doubt AOTH, my van has a leaky oil pan GRRR, but it wil get me to the shore etc. Perhaps we can have a meet at the dutchmans and do a fun run to beach haven inlet and out into the ocean to the fornt of the shell so we can hear the bands play.

so long as the wamby pamby fresh water folks feel like dunking there boats in saltwater ;)

maybe next year who knows though.

sweet randy!!! I hop eyou wired it up for plasmas and a home theater here and there.

BTW, remember that chat we had when you were down at hondas R&D plant in georgia?

well that one quad you were talking about, (you said there were 3 diff setups)the one with independant rear suspension was just released this year, the trx700!!!!!!!
man you were on point with that one!!!

glad to see your doing well

whats up with the props? can you send me a 25p to test out?

My custom prop, short shaft 24 1/2p with a cup on the end hit the asphalt on the trailer on the way to my house :shocking: and needs to be reworked. I was hitting 5100rpm with it

the short shaft prop was a elephant ear and im thinking a prop with less surface area and alil bit more pitch will get my speed up and rpms the same, not sure though.
