yea been out twice to cfw=saturday before memorial weekend to check new setup=worked ok except for blowing water lines off=was out fri/sat/sun at cfw for the holiday = boat ran excellent=alot of racin in 1/4 mile cove never lost= am doing a different cooling set up now and will be out for fathers day weekend on south shore side= we usually camp at the first paved road to the right down at the bottom = looks us up = southwind boat white/burgandy
and my kids boat is a youngblood yellow/black with stinger writtten on back and on the deck
hope to see you there to put a face to a name

first time out with this set up=not sure what to expect=so yes i still had same hose setup as before will be doing some change over and i thought someone on here  posted something about pressure regulating it all=i was working the water valves also during testing but was running out of daylight = thanks for the input

welcome=i have a 78 southwind w/half the hp=just did ride plate and droop setup=hopin for 80 plus-will find out this weekend at cfw

just did my boat for ride plate setup=the hardest part was getting intake out=i machined it my self and all fabrication =really not that bad to do=nothing to be in a hurry on=wwill be out on memorial weekend to check out results=have about 200.00 into doing it.

thanks ralph for sharing the experience=my brother served in nam and it is not pleasant memories for him=to this day he has never talked about it=yes we need to give thanks to all who served

not to get off track=my uncle is still alive and he served in ww2=and does not talk about it either

yea they finally got the boat off the bottom of the lake=it was a blown v-drive =was a nice ride=now has a big ol hole on the top deck on the drivers side==and greg watch out for those big ol boats on the river=get some 3 ft swells sometimes=good for wave jumping

folsom lake is not the lake you want to go fast in=its like an ocean and debri is always floatin around

this is on a southwind/460 ford

have bbc engine mounting brackets front/back will trade for bbf setup

blue oval ==you go
