This is getting old yeah right ;D
you crazy foo, :D :screwy:Skip RALPH going to go through the boat get rid of a lot of B/S rubber hose and going to move the motor back Skip i need a hook up on the seats? re plum the fuel lines it had one fuel line going to both carbs :screwy: so basically only one side of the regulator was being use :thumbdown:
what you gunna do ??? put a ford in so you can go faster ??? if'n you need i gots a 60ish familly boat motor ya'll can borrow ;)
Any feed back on XRP Teflon hoses I got my eye on the HS-79 which is a black nylon outter and teflon enter. www.xrp.com.
How are those quickfuel carbs I have one that I wanna try but a little sketched out but I do need to 86 this edelbrockQuickfuel is the way to go billet base plates and metering blocks three times lighter then other carbs more tuning ability and they look great,But I think a Holley tuned right will work just as good.
Nice Brian! I guess I'll see your new boat at the Tom Papp event in January.
lets just see the motor in the boat already bro...you got just under a monthSounds good Josh the boat in pieces no seats no gauges pluming etc :banghead:
Hey Brian is this thing gonna be ready for the Tom Papp deal in Jan, or are you riding with somebody else?Boat will not be ready :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: what was I thinking taking it apart their was nothing wrong with it :mad: Probably taking my Dads boat maybe not a good idea riding SOLO so maybe I can bum a ride with someone hopefully Nate will still have room for me ;)
i'll be finding out a weekend before the even if i am driving down there solo or no...if i am going solo i got a seat for ya brianThanks Josh Its been a while :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

I think the only difference between the two hulls is the weight mine weighs 480 yours 800 ? maybe a little less, the light layup on my hull gets it hard out the hole :thumbup:
Brian at 480, your boat is no lighter a lay up than any other lake weight TX, they came in 3 wieghts,
Lake Weight= 450-500 pounds
Middle Weight= 380 Pounds
Race Weight= 330 Pounds
Brian at 480, your boat is no lighter a lay up than any other lake weight TX, they came in 3 wieghts,Wait a minute lol when I said the difference between the two hulls I was referring to my TX and Nates hull ,I don't believe his is a TX Youngblood its a 1987 TX 19 Condor, heavy layup lake boat so thats what I was trying to get at that his layup was a lot heavier then my hull we did some comparing on them the stringers on mine they are 3/4 x 6 his are 2 x 6 and a thicker layup hull all together :thumbup: also did some research with Jason the CP lake hull still weighs more then my TX 480 pounds for a lake boat like a potato chip thats way i said light lay up not referring to the lighter hulls ;)

So where is the pic of the motor in the boat?Just trying too button things up was going to but my breathers on today but the only drill I have took a shit :banghead: Wheres the best place too mount them on the covers so I wont get oil all over the place :o :o ;)
Just trying too button things up was going to but my breathers on today but the only drill I have took a shit :banghead:Wheres the best place too mount them on the covers so I wont get oil all over the place :o :o ;)Pan-E-vacs....
Hell I dont know. The oil is all over the inside of the valve covers so there is no real good placeOK this is how Im going too mount them directly in the middle of the rocker or else I will get oil out of the push rods shooting right up into the breathers,so that being said there is a good place too mount them and Im not putting any funny kitchen cleaning sh't in the breathers to keep oil from coming out ;) hahahaha
Omar do you still have the headers so I can run the P-vac.Pan-E-vacs....

Brian, looks like normal split loom tubing to me? The Depot carries it as well as Radio Shack in various lengths, if that helps.Ray its different then normal split tubing Its solid all the way round no split its actually call nylon braided sleeving thats the best I can describe it. ;)
While you're at it, I'd look at the black spiral wrap stuff. (Both places carry that as well) More of a bitch to put on, but cleaner IMO.
Ray
Brian where ya been ??? Haven;t seen ya in here in awhile. You about got your boat done yet ???Whats up Mark been real busy at work and all my free time Ive been working on the boat so I'm more then half way done.
sheesh, just use black electrical tape :Pgot cases of that too bri
