Anyone ever compaire ?
Anyone have one they might want to part with or have part #s I can use as a reference to purchase one?
Original owner started years ago with interceptor 165 Eaton 2 blade prop maybe did 45mph. Zz383 450hp Volvo 280 solas 23 5300-5400Rpm on the edge of 70 gps speedometer
Agreed don?t know if it?s worth it I think I?m gonna get another regular Drive and see what I can do to modify a bit. It seems like regular drive housings have a lot of meat to play a little. I keep...
I have an opportunity to purchase an e drive what kind of gains can I expect and is it worth the risk?
I know parts are next to impossible but this drive is next to new. Currently running Zz383...
I think because I have the old school very thin secondary metering rods the qjet it?s easy enough to change them out and see what happens
Have any of you guys got black soot on the back of your transom? After I run all day to come back to clean off pain in the butt each time. Im thinking too rich on the top end. If I just tool around...
Yes thats why like I said above wondering if anyone had already done it I can learn from. As stated above I realized I was talking about other props not the solas
You are correct I don?t know what I was thinking I must have been thinking of my old Michigan props.
These props were designed and built by solas in conjunction with Big Grizzly for us guys with the older Volvos. I have tried many props and by far this is the best for this boat. Just wondering what...
I am running a solas 23 on my Volvo 280 those props have diffuser rings on the rear part of the hub. I realize those props were designed for us. Best prop I have ever had on that boat. 66 -18 2+3...
Yes it is very tight you can do the reach around to change the cables blind. You just need a pic of what you will be feeling maybe take a pick on a selfie stick. It is possible but not easy I have...
I’m not too worried about it. Deck off won’t matter lower strake is directly below the stringer and cannot be accessed from the inside. That being said I am pretty much thinking they are due to...
I cannot access mine from the inside unless you grind through the hull. I really don’t want to do that. My hull surface is flat on the inside
Yes my cracks run along the top and bottom of the lower strake my strake go completely to the back it is a 66 triple hatch. I am thinking I will fix the outside cracks by notching them out and...
Because my Volvo is a 74 never been apart and I do nothing but beat the snot out of it ! Currently running a 23 solas spinning 5500. Don’t think any of the Merc. boys can say that! Even if there...
What are you guys doing to make repairs to cracks along lower strake .
Cracks are running parallel to hull starting about a foot in and running about 3 ft toward front. Making rust streaks coming...
Running my old 280 for a long time thinking of converting to a 290. Looking to do it just to get power trim. Has anyone done this? That can give me advice?
Thanks Ralph
You can replace that without pulling the head if you make sure the piston is at the top. Keep compressed air in the cylinder using your compression gauge hose. Then use a valve spring compressor that...
I am still trying to track my boat down? How many triple hatches were built in 66 anyone know? My boat was purchased new by my dad in 66. He purchased it from Venice marina Lindenhurst Long Island...
Go back and look at my old posts. Search external hydraulic steering. You will see my posts with pictures. Single handed the best thing I ever did to the boat in 50 years!
GM performance ZZ383 is the best engine I ever had Set up with fwc and forget about it 5200 RPM 450Hp 450lbs/ft torque out of the box pushing 70 MPH Volvo 280 Solas 15 5/8 x23
It appears he said he did that in his first post
My dad bought it in 66 from Venice it is a good possibility that the person that originally ordered it did not buy it from Venice but returned it there who knows.
I can tell you that the boat had...
My boat was yellow top and bottom black interior and stripe 66 triple hatch 18 full not a badged Volvo Eaton outdrive 165 interceptor
