fukkin sucks ass!!! Is it summer yet!? :D
OK so we're in for a long winter...from the feel of it I'm thinkin' it may be another dry winter (perhaps worse than last winter...it's still 75* here!!!)....however I know we all have the list of winter add-ons/projects goin', so let's post 'em here. I'll start.
Your mom (yes I named my boat Your Mom) is officially in drydock. Propless and I pulled the motor out last weekend, and there's quite a bit to be done before it goes back in.
I've removed the Jet-A-Way from my pump...yes it's an awesome piece and does everything it says it does...and I'm gonna miss the "neutral" feature...however, I need more back seat space and my motor is sitting too far forward, which we think is messing up the CG of the boat, causing it to run too wet. So that will set the motor back another 4-5". Also, for some reason my U-Joint shaft had a little play on the end of the Jet-A-Way shaft, but has absolutely no play on the pump shaft itself. I had noticed a bit of vibration before...I'm hoping this solves that problem as well.
Tom at JBP is buying it off of me, and I'll be getting an AT split bowl w/droop and a Berkeley front bearing cap (to replace the Jet-A-Way). Also I'm thinkin' of changing my handhole cleanout swingbolts over to the billet ones Tom recommended to me awhile back to keep the cover from coming off in the event of shock loading the pump.
Hopefully before the summer hits I can send the boat to him and have him machine my intake for a shoe/ride plate, and also I'll be installing a loader as well.
As far as the engine goes, I had a fuel leak from when I first got the motor running, which stained my intake manifold (don't ever buy the el cheapo dual fuel feeds from Pep Boys..they suck!!!). I've since replaced it with a Holley dual feed line, which fixed the leak, but the intake is off and will be going to the powder coat shop next week, where they'll bead blast it and powder coat it to make her look new again. I'll also be getting a new set of valve covers for her too. Maybe throw on a second coat of paint to clean the motor up a bit.
Also...I never got a chance to carpet the boat before I ran her a few times, so the seats/tanks will be coming out and the same guy who upholstered my seats will be doing the carpet as well.
I'm also thinking of hardlining my cooling system like Beerjet did on his...Omar I'll be asking a few questions about how to go about doing that as well.
And last but not least, I'll be definitely neatening up the wiring on this bitch too.
All before next Memorial Day weekend.
Let's hear everyone's winter mod projects.
Winter mods=the cure for cabin fever! :D
-
When ever I get cabin fever I take the boat out. Even a chilly trip to puddlestone is better than nothing. This year nothing runs so I'm in the same boat (pardon the pun).
This spring I will be putting this...

Propless and I pulled the motor out last weekend, and there's quite a bit to be done before it goes back in. Because after some time behind the wheel of Propless's Mighty BBF I have learned that my old smoger BBC will never satisfy me again !!!!! So I'm going to switch to a SB Ford ! ;D ;D
This is what you should have said (the truth) !! >:D ;D ;D
-
Switch to a Ford huh? At the risk of breaking my oil pump in half!? Riiiiiight.

Thanks Tom! This boat is an ex race boat and I've always been a fan of Jamie Jamison designs.
