I always thought your boat was white (like the bottom)  ,  Nice job beerjet.

 Now, go crawl under there and do the bottom. 



BTW, Is that the original gell or paint ?    I just noticed its capped (no rub rail) 

Thanks proppy!

Stern drive boats require a thick transom and they have to uniform to one another, all of the drive power gets transmitted throught the transom...

I picked up a 2 HP polisher today also, you done polishing parts yet?

hope to see that Eliminator back together soon...

 Thats what I thought , I remember the Daytona Tom and Josh converted to a jet.  That boat had (I believe) 3 layers of wood in the transom.  I believe it went from a stern drive to an OB to a Jet. 

 Polishing
 No.    I spent the day rideing, while the weather is still OK.  Needed to remove some rubber from the edges of the tires before putting the old GSX R away for the winter 

 SKIP, YOU OWE ME A NEW COUCH !!!!

 

 Apparently "little Leo" got bored today.    He will now spend his days OUTSIDE (in the cold). 

 He is still growing 

 

    Cut the front plate today and set it back in

Now i got alot more to do I guess i need to get a angle finder or whatever you use to install the engine.

Well maybe i think i might have found a solution to the driveshaft angle...

Are the plates supposed to sit on the rail ? as you can see mine are elevated about a 1/2" or so..

If you remember when i got this boat it came with those custom angle iron feet i replaced them with the right ones but never drilled new holes. I think just by dropping the engine down and making it flush with the rail , it should fix my angle prob

 I think you found your problem  .   If the plates were siting on the rails before than they should be on them now.  But I still think you should check the angles just to be sure. 

Need to hurry before my neighbor gets home from overseas

 Did you park your boat in the neighbors driveway or on his lawn ? 

 

    But I can't start til you actually run her.   I am going shopping now in preparation 

This is a big deal tho so NO domestic shit.   Maybe some Fat Tire         yeah that's the ticket.

Yea right, no drinking until 2sav finishes his boat

look at you getting all technical and shit
whats up jeff

 I think I be learnin sumthings  .

   But am I right.  I dont want to give bad advice  .

 I call BS on that one.  To convenient that the trailer tongue wheel was down and the boat was still strapped to the trailer. 

 Its nice to your still working on it !! 

I have to agree with Gt (again) on the angle/offset of that drive line Steve (looks like alot of angle). And does that pumps front bearing seal go to the shaft ?  It doesn't look like the drive line would fit in there .    How far is that pump shaft inside the drive line ?

 Another thing, how much clearance is there between the flexplate and that line directly under it (fuel line ?) .   

 Here's a couple from my hood 

 Two jet hydros
