Imron is good chit, and not that hard to get your hands on. most auto paint supplys still cary it.

X2!! I painted a HS buddie of mines '67 GTO in silver with that stuff back in 1988. 23 years and 65000 miles later it looks as good now as it did the day we did it.

This is what had originally been in the boat and it was different so I kept it.  Just try'n to stay nostalgic and diamond stitching is common enough that I didn't want to blend in.

Mines the only one I'm aware of around these parts with diamond stitching, but you'rs is DEFINATELY different! Can't stop looking at it..........getting impure thoughts now on my big boat........

Where'd you get that done at?

Pickle does that now that she's outside! A few pieces of PVC, a couple elbows and T's, good to go.......

Right on fellas thanx for the info I think its cool we all have different colors and yep your right when I went to DMV they pretty much said it was a custom order back in the day. I dont see too many of them and when I do they are ALWAYS CLEAN! and damn they ride good over the rollers alittle heavy though

You ain't kidding! Got one of Brads here, gutted, takes 2 men and a small boy to lift the tongue onto the truck! One solid sombitch!

Have a great B-day ya Pirate!

Adding to the poo flingin', IMHO vac sec's would work good on a TR....Especially if shooting a little over on bore size to begin with, venturi selection may be tricky...

I can fully second and support that statement with actual performance..........

Other than that, every original boat I've owned, and there's satellite pics on here to prove this, came originally with a 750 vac sec'y carb. Probably for warranty reasons, but one quick way to warm them up is an 850 CFM minimum with no other changes. No matter 454, 455 or 460. Just my experience to get a few RPM's and actually fuel economy out of them.

Throw a solid build on the engine with a good cam, I ran twin 750's with no problems. The thing with tunnel rams is almost as, and somewhat more complex, than running a blower.  The sheer volume inside the tunnel ram intake is a vacuum nightmare, IMO, with a single carb. I don't care if it's vac secondary or mechanical, vacuum is vital with either. the slightest vacuum leak is detrimental. Now, with NO vacuum leaks, either carb is equal, in my experience, Mechanical or Vacuum.

With a single carb tunnel ram, provided the build is solid, and the cam is there to support it, personally, I'd be running an 1150 dominator on it, or at minimum a 950...........

Absolutely fantastic news, Ralph!   

I know what you mean Brad. I became one right after I found out Cindy's lung, kidneys and liver were used for used for transplant patients on the list. 

On that note, I don't think my liver could be used for anything more than a door stop or wheel chock, but the rest of me is fine! 

My, and the kids, Prayers and Thoughts are with you and your family! Godspeed to a speedy recovery!

X2 on Joe Hunt.......As Nordie said, his names on it, might cut you a break on that ordeal. Mag rebuilds on a Vertex are easily 5 bills and more.   

Ray

sad part is, you know moo and sewer pickle are in the garage right? 

I wasn't gonna mention that............

Ray

isnt there already been one jet boat in that pool already?

Yes there has!    Was even funnier watching their drunk asses get it back out! 

Kinda why they have padlocks on them locking them to the trailers.........

Ray

Soo, My neighbors been giving me greif about the armada lately. One of them states "Check out the Satellite pics of your house".............so I did.............

Guess which one is mine....................
