Isnt that what working on boats is all about . Seriously, good job guys. Thrashing up the last minute in true SCJB style. I just wish I could make Parker next weekend to see that bitch run. Good luck next weekend and be safe.

The plumming on the hoses looks good

Nice..... How did that Quick Fuel tune?? I am leaning towards a QFT for the Brendella

right out of the box the rear float level was too high and spitting gas out the tube. that was an easy fix as you know. it tuned really well after that. there is only so much you can do on the trailer, with that being said i think when i am ready for a new carb that will be the direction i will go.

haha, my dad says this boat even looks faster than mine (and it does)
there is only so much HP we can get out of this motor in its current state. if he wants more it will require major surgery.

I haven't forgotten about your carb scoop Ralph. I'll get it back to you soon.

I wish I had someone to snap photos as I go along, or someone to do the work while I snap photos.

It's looking great!!!

did some final little stuff tonight. Just need a throttle cable. The one I have is about 5 feet too long.

This is the throttle setup i bought off ebay for the raspberry without really thinking it through...it was only a 3/4 stringer boat

man...goood looking sponsor sticker...............

« **Reply #439 on:** April 09, 2008, 10:53:17 PM »

got the foot throttle squared away.....i measured 6 feet for the cable...ordered a 7 footer for good measure....turns out i needed 8 feet

...so i used the cable that was way too long...as you can see it wraps around the motor in this big crazy loop.

got the steering extension on there so im not so tucked up under the dash anymore....then i whiped down the boat and gave it a quick maguires detail wax spray....and shes ready to go.

the new seats should be here in the morning and be installed tomorrow afternoon then we're headed to parker.

i just took a few minutes and skimmed through this thread from the beginning... wow. lots of good memories here.

this boat is a complete transformation from what it was when i bought it in January to what it is now....and without the help of people from this site, it would probably be sitting in my driveway the way i bought it collecting rain water.

Before:

After:

things like this get me a little mushy inside...i love this site, the people on it, and what it has become. I couldn't be more proud to be a part of this place. thanks to everyone who was involved.

for sure glad i could help

got my own place now in vegas...own garage space...no apartment neighbors to bitch about noise, no HOA.....it was nice to kick on the compressor and make some noise today without stressin about upset tightwads.

today i relocated the battery....ive been running this ugly ass floor for awhile only because i needed somewhere to mount the battery....so i stole ralphs idea when he did this to his liberty....turned out pretty good.

« **Reply #449 on:** January 21, 2009, 07:16:04 PM »

pay no attention to the cosmetics of the above post....im pulling it apart tomorrow to repaint the battery tray...clean up the rails and degrease the pump and floors.....as well as do some never ending glass work to the boat
