Post by: 76Mantra455 on June 10, 2025, 06:34:44 PM: Sweet it finally worked?. So took the mantra out first trip of year and the transom delaminated? I thought the cap split from the hull but didn?t. So we ordered all new wood and cut the stringers out along with transom. Pulled the intake and sent to mpd to have machined for shoe and ride plate. The 495 is at DNE to get valves adjusted and small oil leak fixed.

Post by: 76Mantra455 on June 16, 2025, 05:27:43 AM: The intake is getting for ride plate and shoe?. When it was originally laid up the glass where it delaminated never got enough resin it was still dry so years of towing a tube think did it in and wood rot

Post by: 76Mantra455 on June 18, 2025, 03:22:13 PM: Well the intake is where I have had a water leak so I needed to reset it anyways and while it?s out get the shoe and ride plate. And it?s more of a safety issue I am hoping to solve because around 78 mph all the way till I lift on the throttle it gets a bad porpoise and I lift around 82ish and the motor has more to go so hoping to eliminate that and be able to send it and not worry about flying out
