Thanks Guys and thanks Jeff (for the thread reminder) the original deal here was supposed to be to make this "Boneyard hull" run 70 mph for 5k and that was done Any "overage" was excess bling (tach scoop etc) recently in fact,we swapped out the "box" carbs for a pair of 450's Josh scored on Ebay returned the 600's to stock and took <$200> off the top .The whole project Miller exercise (which started on another board and caught some sh*t from naysayers
) was to prove that the average Joe could build a fast clean Hot rod jet like this on a budget ,with prudent shopping ,alot of scrounging and elbow grease and perserverance ,
Needless to say we felt vindicated by the numbers and performance yesterday I think the boat has 80+ with some "tune up". The first couple passes were too "wet" (forgot too use trim
) Water was perfect , light chop nobody on the lake and no Rangers !
,Go Torco ! Hats off to Josh ,sweet little motor ,runs hard !
OH yeah this was a Jucuzzi WJ too
Note Kreg the Tahitis Next
