 Well boys, Its all back together now.  Except for the loader (ironman is coming over to help me get it mounted).  It will be back on the water next Sunday for some carb tunning and some top speed runs .  Big thanks to Tom and Josh (JBP) for walking me through the pump work, hopefully I did it right.  As well as Busby, GTjets, and SnoC653 for attempting to explain how this crazy hull should work, and hopefull what it wanted. 

Keep yor fingers crossed for me guys, its all or nothing time.  I'm bringing the plates up and I'm going to let this thing set back and fly this time.  >:D

 Changes include, one very worked JG bowl, a Berk droop (also worked to match the bowl), a new A impeller, a shouldered wear ring, 750 vac sec carbs replaced with a set of 660s, and the heads were repaired.  Also had to replace the for/rev and diverter cables (to short), and add a steering extention.  I also drilled and tapped the suction housing for some temperary pressure gauges.  So I can see whats going on in there this time.

 Well I'm officially calling it DONE !  The trailer has fenders (that wont fly off).  And I finally got some time to finish up a few things on it.  I'm sure it will still need more work on the setup, but I'm done building.  I took it out to Moms house today, ran some water through it and did some tuning on the carbs. It was late afternoon before I was done.  So, it will be next weekend before it gets wet again.  I'll post some pics when it gets wet.  I just hope this thing works this time.  :-\

 Thanks guys, I cant wait to get wet again.  Its going to be a loooooooong week.  Cough, cough, I think I feel a sick day coming.  ;D

 

 Ray,  I cant take credit for the dumps.  The bottom 2 are the original dump holes, they were just covered up when I got it.  The top right was the one Busby was using, and the other one I added for the bypass reg.

 BTW Ray,  You need to get to work on that Hallet.  Its the same hull as this.

We're werkin out the details of who's doing what on it. Then we're just gonna compromise and do it my way, lol. Should be back over at my buds next week to start the grinding/recapping, glassing in where the Jacuzzi intake and transom adaptor were. Then paint before I get it back and cut it up for the Berk setup. I'm hoping it goes pretty quick. Still undecided on powerplants. Can go any way I want on this one, and think I'm gonna surprise everyone with what we're leaning towards.....
