    Hi all, I have a Sanger Drag Hydro I'm putting together after a few years of sitting and need some help from you experts. Have owned a couple v drives in the past but never a Hydro w Lenco, and have never done the engine to V drive alignment or proper placement setup from transom. I'm a newbie...

    I realize this should maybe be in the "Outboards" section, however the history about Sundown Marine leads me here to "the professors" for some intell please. A buddy of mine came across an 80's Daytona OB tracing back to Sundown in H.B. CA. (DYL) The Biesemeyer top deck was rather obvious...

    Hi there performance boats!!! I am getting ready to run drop my engine in my newly refinished 67 Belmont. Its an e 85 injected bbc. My question is can I use my aluminum tanks? Or should I start hunting for steel ones? Is aluminum ok if I empty them after the weekends? I have a lot of people...

    Hi Guys! So, this retired fireman in SoCal used to have a 1961Mandella with a 331 Hemi. That was about 40 years ago and a faded memory except to know that it was a fun boat. I’m to the age now that I’m ready for some more flat bottom fun but this time I am looking for something much faster...

  9. Jet Boats
    Spent some time in the search function and couldn't find a definitive answer on a couple of potential issues. I injured my 454 engine (Jet), it's out of commission for a few months. Located a 427 TD for cheap, thinking about popping it in if I can get it to work without too much trouble. It's...
  10. Jet Boats
    I've never owned a boat but can't think of anything I'd enjoy more than a boosted (screw/roots or turbo) big block Jet. I've built turbo and roots blown cars and want to have some fun on the colorado river since it snakes through our land. Occasional lake runs would be likely as well. I don't...

    Ok changing a motor from a offshore to a V-drive timing cover. First what is the torque on the three screws in the cam? Im thinking 15-18 inch pounds? Im thinking some Loctite won't hurt anything. Next the old cover had a button in it to keep the cam in the block. Im wondering if just having...

    Thinking of going with a shorty on my 1991 Daytona/Fundeck. Planning on mating it to the Bravo 1 upper, anyone have any good pictures of a B1 and -3 shorty so I can get some ideas of what it will take to move the factory cav. plate? Has anyone here done it on an early 90's Eliminator and have...

    I'm about to start plumbing my twin turbo motor and I was wondering how to plumb the water lines. I have heard some people are doing a secondary water source for the intercooler. Is it ok to come off the pump, through a strainer with a pressure relief, go through the intercooler, in the logs...

    so i was thinking of going carbon fiber on the floor of my flat but the material alone is very expensive on top of the epoxy resin and everything else. I've decided to look into other avenues I've always loved the look of a clean balsa floor. my situation is this the floors of my kurtis are...

  18. Outboards
    Hey people, looking for some advice or where I can get advice. In my fathers basement are two Evinrude Starflite 4 cylinder Outboards that did run at one time but have been 'hanging' for maybe two + decades. I'm not seeing ANY serial numbers anywhere on the engines etc. I'm trying to find out...

    ... starting a project to replace the toe board and the side boards in my Bezer. First, the toe board is still in good shape but the access hole is huge and it's not glassed in all the way around. I planned on cutting it out and replacing it but was wondering if I could leave it there and glass...
