My bad I brought it back to life. Ive been away from the board about a year. The engines were back out of the Z33 again. Both engines and drive were redone again. A friend has 4 setts of props he is...
Those pics are great. They gave my friend and I some good ideas. His Z33 didnt come with a galley nor a head, so he is renewing his.
You guys are absolutely right. We have spent a dump truck load of cash around $30K and havent seen 85mph yet. But we are still running TRS's with 23 three blades. It winter know we are changing some...

Thank guys.

When i took it apart i noticed that the crank had a tight spot when turning it with no rods or main caps on it. I was turning with a 3' bracker bar. So i told the machinist to check it. With a dial...
Got bad news from the machine shop today. The crank is bent .090 in middle.
I got in touch with a guy name Bob Madara at Marine Kinetic and he has got me on the right path now. I told him all thats going on and he has made some great sugestions. He also has seen these 502...
