Post by: propless on February 28, 2009, 08:04:49 PM: Thanks guys, I hope this thing floats. :-\ I just got done changing the starter, I never saw smoke come out of a starter before :o . But every thing is OK now. The starter was very old (from the old boat) and come to think of it, I have never changed it before (almost 10 yrs old, at least). I'm out now, got to go put on the CF numbers, set the plates and double check everything. Its going to be a long night.

I hope my neighbors don't think there going to sleep late tomorrow. This thing gets to run on the hose for the first time at 9:00 am (got to check for leaks ;) )

Thanks for not posting that vidio Billy :-[ :-[ . Lets just say this thing needs lots of help with the setup(remember the TV show "Flipper" ::) ). First run it almost hopped out of the water at 35mph :banghead: . But, we got it in the water without to many issues, one very small water leak from one of the fuel tank bolts.
