    Well that's a bummer. Sounds like a 5 minute job too haha.

    Say wha?? Okay well thanks for the input so far! Mrfixx I will certainly check it before I go out this weekend - do you know what size the drain and fill plug are off hand? I'll search on the best...
  3. King Cobra (cone) chatter noise at idle in neutral

    So if you're following from the other thread, they fixed the timing and the throttle travel issue (I was right and apparently it wasn't even close to WOT when the levers maxed out).

    I mentioned to...

    Hmm, timing was 9 degrees off.. :boggled: So much for marking it - even if it's not exact it would have been closer than that!!

    We will see how she runs this weekend, wish me luck though.

    Pismo - EXACTLY! Thanks haha, that's my point - worst case a huge prop should just turn my boat into a pig, but it should NEVER simply kill the engine lol.

    oledawg - that would make sense, since...

    Yup I'm going to have them fix that 110% finally this week - but even if I was at say 75% when it went *poof*, I'm still not sure why THAT event happened. The other week when I was out with the 23p...

    Interesting - sounds like you've got a similar setup to mine, or at least relatively speaking it's closer than anything else people have been working on that I'm seeking advice from (including the...

    Thanks man, that's a good reminder - I'll keep checking the simple stuff too!
  9. Still cursed.. BBC 454 loads up while planing-POOF

    I just can't have an enjoyable weekend with this boat. After countless trips to the shop while working with the install (3hr trip) I really want to see some return on investment and watch this boat...

    First run with new 468! '90 black widow 24.

    Excuse the language haha (err, consider yourself warned!) we were enthusiastic.

    It's kinda a lame video but it's exciting to me since it was her first splash since I bought the boat a few months...
  13. Wanted - OMC King Cobra 4 blade props, 23-26p

    Re-power is complete and I need to trash my 21p 3 blade before my fuel budget is blown for the entire season :nilly:

    ...but seriously, it's like being stuck in 3rd gear in a car or something - I...

    Morgan's Cloud - took me a second to digest what you were talking about but I think I've got it now. Besides the water "creep" and extended tail/riser issue, is the waterline comment related to...

    Thanks for the comments and concerns anyone, it's great to look into this stuff before the boat hits the water. While I'm still not sure if this is going to be a buy/sell type of boat project, if I...
  16. New motor, first start today (vid) BBC 468, 10:1

    So for those who have followed my 24' Black Widow purchase, I obviously decided to trash whatever was in the thing (rusted up Gen VI, looked stock - not sure how it got so nasty for a fairly new...

    Thanks again for your input Ghost, I think we are on the same page - I actually installed 3 Interstate SRM-27 deep cycle batteries on the port side of the boat to counter-act my weight slightly.. I...

    I'm not doubting you, but I'm curious about the physics/fluid dynamics behind your statement.

    Technically if the weight of the boat is the same (say I have a passenger/cooler over there) the...

    Thanks! I actually got a PDF of the original brochure from Donzi (black and white) that thing is a trip haha. I can't believe they were shipping 454s rated at 370hp 2 decades ago. :eek:

    I'm confused though, with that kind of drive and limited parts, how could someone convert to...
  21. Black Widow/Z-24 capacity rating & fuel tank size?

    My Black Widow (24) never had a capacity plate on it when I got the boat recently - but I know that a lot of the boat has been repainted, and most of the interior has been replaced. Does anyone have...

    That's funny that they both put down the same HP - what was done internally to yours? That's a good point about coming out of the water - my last boat had 270hp (ahem.. 2 stroke jet boat hahaha) so...
