There's far more than I've listed, like stainless rod ends on the throttle linkage, new gear reduction starter, trailer lights, etc.

What is the top speed and where is this boat located?Don't know what the top speed is since the boat hasn't been on the water since '95. Boat will be tested in BHC next week, is stored in Anaheim.

Aluminum "A" impeller with little to no wear on the impeller or shaft, stuffer in the bowl. No surprises.... unreal how little use this boat had.

What's that grill hiding back in the garage?? 😎 that's a nice boat by the way! Good luck with the sale! Sucks that you are letting it go after breathing life back into such a sweet find...That's the wife's '31 peeking out. Finishing it was put on the back burner to get the Canyon done by Labor Day. In retrospect, it probably wasn't one of my better decisions.

Very Nice!!! :thumbup: :beer:Was a little breezy yesterday so waited until 5:30 to launch. 5 units and it calmed down a bit. I probably should have put the baffles in, but oh well ::) .

What is causing the reversion issue? To much cam?Right at the end of that run I backed off and turned left to head back up river. It didn't pull much water, but enough to kill a plug. This cam has too much overlap to just slam the throttle shut, so I'll just run it dry with baffles. It does just flat boogie though..... :thumbup:

Looking for the right buyer that'll appreciate this. Don't want to deal with CL and explain why this isn't an ideal fishing boat and what kind of mileage it gets :screwy:
I know that Shelley won't like this advice but I think you just need to throw the stroker engine in the tunnel and keep it. Trust your instinct you're not going to like CL. :banghead:

How'd she run this weekend?Was more concerned about motor than setup this weekend. Spun it up to 5k a few times real quick, and had about 10 minutes of consistent 4500 from Harry's to Big Bend.

That said, I have the ride plate at 4* and a couple things need to be addressed. The loader KILLS the holeshot (figured a blocker would), and need less shoe. GPS only showed 60 and I wasn't even in it. 'Course it fell in the sponson when I nailed it so who knows how fast it was REALLY going.
It would be faster with just a couple race buckets in it, but there's an ex-Placecraft TF racer in Texas interested so that won't happen on my dime unless I have it come Spring.

I have 3 choices at this point. Keep it, store it until Spring and sell it for more (after changing the interior), or put it on Craigslist (really not my favorite option.Keep it. Or you could put it on Craigslist and post all the stupid shit people ask you. The first question will always be what's the lowest you will take. Then when they have your information they never show up. It's like they are collecting phone numbers and addresses. Go get yourself a Google phone number and use that for your ads.

3 Choices-
1. keep it.
2. store it 'til spring and keep it.
3. Put it on Craigslist, get lowball offers, and keep it.
I think #1 is best. or maybe #2...Oh wait, #3 is an option.... :thumbup:

Not really a slingshot person.... more into short wheelbase altereds. If I start racing, I'd like to go on a western tour and have some fun.

I would fix the reversion issue. I think that might help sell it. Not many people like dry headers.Isn't worth recamming this to me. I can pull the motor, sell it less motor and part it out and make as much or more than I'm asking.

If there's any interest in the Canyon less engine let me know.If someone buys the hull and you are interested in selling the motor. Let me know. Thanks Andrew
