I wondered how the later etec lower water scoop would work, its about as tall as a 2 holes in your v4 box?

Definitely get a water pressure gauge first. I filled the top holes with JB weld. Took a few coats but worked great. Some people tap the holes and...

I got a old pre load case that I ran for prob 7 or 8 yrs straight, took it off at end last year and put up for spare , always started in gear , has...

garzonstudio.com They have everything

I couldn't help but notice the nice stone work in the back

They don’t sound like a v8. They sound like a John Deere.

It is not even close to being as loud like open I/O exhaust. It is about 80% of a 2.5 singing.

I have 2 preload pin gearcases. a 2.0 and a 1.87 with a cone that came off a 80-81 225. Both are big bearing ratcheting cases. All V6 preload cases...

Hi Ron. The foam is there basically just in case the boat sinks it doesn't go to the bottom. Most people do not replace it.

Pull the deck, it will make the hull structure (stringers, bulkheads, and floor) rebuild much easier. Delete the foam inside the seam and glass it...

Hey Ron, you've got a great project boat, the biggest problem with doing something wrong in fiberglass, you have to tear it out to re-do it. (don't...

Currently into serious restoration of "ricks" Action. Coming up against some things not sutra how to handle. #1 at the moment is the boats flotation...

It's hard not to appreciate good music! ;)

Damn good rhythm

I should have added in my previous post, that that's what mine is: A 1983 preload type, ratcheting, with 1.87 gear set for the 2.4/200 it came with. ...

I still like the rhythm! :D https://www.youtube.com/shorts/KklDcXN6GUA
