After reading about a few members hooking up there steering backwards (no names to protect the innocent )

Hey Brad (Mr. Moderator)......please delete Proppys thread cuz........uh........ Cuz he's pissing my off!!! How's that?

Boat looks awesome Proppy but I'm telling you, you're missing some fine boating by having your steering hooked up correctly.

Happy T-day..........john

WOW Brian, You really had that motor set forward !!

I told you I did ... but it needed it.

I'll be glad to see it on the water again. It'll be cool.

I'm really glad you got her and are finishing her up.

See you in a few weeks!

Brian

Progress, (finally) the floors are DONE !!! Not perfect but it will have to do for now, I have less than 4 weeks before the Tom Papp memorial event and I really want to take this thing. I really need to get it in the water by the 1st to do a leak test and hopefully set the water to the headers etc, etc. So unless the "jolly fat man" is bringing me fuel lines, Christmas is canceled

.

this pic looks funny (the black in the center) because its reflecting the ceiling.

It is smooth and shiny (for the most part

)

I know I must be reading this wrong, because I'm sure Bahnerboy is out working on HIS project instead of wasting time on the computer trying to be funny.

I'm going back to the garage now. More update shots later.

Dash is done, gauges mounted, helm mounted, tach done.

And yea the dash is angled just perfect the reflect the sun directly in my eyes.

I guess I'll paint that piece before summer.

This thing has been driving me crazy !!! I screwed up during the mock up (didn't put a gasket between the intake and suction housing) and its just enough of a difference that the pump brace and transom plates don't quite fit now

. Two steps forward and three steps back !!!

Got the pump in and fixed the brace, tomorrow I'll redo the transom plates.

A Lot of progress today, Billy / Ironman made a flex plate cover, a loader and a cool fuel distribution block for me. Now I have a new stack of parts to polish

. The good news is the motor is back in, the bad news is I have less than 2 weeks to get it done. Still need to do the wiring, plumbing (fuel and water), and rebuild the carbs, plus a couple other things I cant think of right now (to tired).

BTW, I don't like the new color of the motor, but it matches the dist cover and the seats.

proppy, looks good but, unless you are a die hard chargers fan

that color is gay. ask me how i know

my wife liked it but like i said

so i did this instead

« **Reply #218 on:** December 29, 2008, 09:35:51 AM »

Yea, the color is NOT what i was expecting. I should have got the dark blue one.

But its not comming back out now. Besides, I thought you socal types down there would like that kind of thing. Maybe it would look OK if the boat was pink?

X2... but then you'd have to put a lightning bolt on the bow and fly a flag off the rear.

safe call with the black ralph

That thing is looking very BITCHEN!!! good work!

Hey proppy, that be an alternator for your charging system that you are running of the pump

I be curious cause I have not seen that before

If so what be the benefits

Mark

« **Reply #222 on:** December 29, 2008, 08:32:57 PM »

Yea, that's the alt. No real benefit that I can think of for having it there, other than cleaning up the front of the motor a bit, and less things it unhook if I need to pull the motor. Now if I could just figure out how to eliminate the water lines.

For me tho my back

bench seat hides the front of mine, so wouldnt do me any good. But does look really look cool tho
