I pestered the engine shop again this morning. Block is out for line honing and balancing. I should use this time to finish the jet boat so I can concentrate on the v-drive later :stir:.
Busy week in my garage. Fixing the leaky toilet and figured while the bowl and transom plate was off I might as well buy a Place Diverter. One happened to pop up last night so I picked it up. As Shep put it, "Woooo 30mph rooster tails!" Transom cover, bowl and diverter will get all new paint before installation. I also ordered a ski tow today and a buddy sold me a nice marine CD player. Next on the list is to glass in those big tanks and I can call it done.
Still waiting for the shop to finish the 427 so I can pick up my new toy from Shep.
Freshened up the carb, had the intake manifold powered coated. Need to put things back together,install a Pertronix kit in the distributor, replace cap, rotor, and plugs and i am ready.
Dunno if u guys remember me? We chated some last fall. I have the Hondo V-drive arcoss the ditch in Canada... Anyways I haven't had as much time to work on it as I'd hoped but I MIGHT.... have it together in june when I will be home on vacation... if there are any get togethers/cruises or the odd (informal race :|err:wink2 around that time let me know, as the loud peddal definelty works!... The Hot Boat scene in southern Ontario F*CKIN sucks, to the point of having never seen another V-drive on the water at the same time and even the Jets and Whackers might as well be farting dust....
Eh, we live up in Ontario in the summer...we bring the v-drive. The opp & mnr don't like us...we have found the trick! we go to lakes on native land..Get loud, tear it up and have a blast....just don't have a fishing pole in the boat!
Ever worry about getting out of there with your boat?! See some pretty bold tactics on the reserve nere me... three dodge one tons tried to box in my friend and his race hauler with the pro-mod inside.... he made use of the chrome horn and ran one off the road to get outta there!
Im in the Niagara Region and people hate me! I've never been ticketed, i have all papers and saftey gear and "mufflers" if you wanna call them that but it is load as heck my father can hear me in the river and his place is about 8-9 miles as the crow flies from the ramp....
