Thanks i,m learning my new trade lol
Gary don't go eatin no yellow snow haha
Got the 2.4 200 hp powerhead rebuilt and close to finishing the 15 inch cut down mid. Gary see you called last night will get back to ya.
Some of you guys have a lot more skills than me. I was happy to get my newly acquired engine and hull mated together and everything working like it should. Time for a shakedown run if we can get a decent day of weather here in NC.

Well along with being covered up with the 5 nickle motors I have at the shop working now and the 10 in line , to keep my sanity I am building a hybrid long range AR platform rifle , building it in pieces , it's an AR - 10 in 6.5 creedmoore caliber , custom trigger , capable of 1000 yard shots , waiting on new Vortex tacticle scope that is in process of hitting the market in 5 weeks , it is a
4-24x50mm with illuminated reticle , should be a hog slayer , can't wait to get it finished ....

Cool Jay!! I owned a 300 acre ranch just outside of Harper, Tx from '80 till I sold in '07. Son & I worked up fantastic loads for our 300 Weatherby Mags and made 450 out to 1000 yd shots on those porky's from our deck on regular basis.Quote:

I sure miss those days down there but traded for retiring here in the Kiamichi Mountains and Fishing!!

I picked up a 1969 Byerscraft hydro with Merc 75H clone on the back. The hull is solid but needed the throttle and steering replaced. The motor is a direct reversing 75A so I was able to hookup and electric start key switch.The problem I'm working on now is the speedmaster lower which didn't have a water pump since it was used on an alky racer back in the day. Having the whole thing reengineered by a local machinist who's a genius with outboards.

This thing feels like a pontoon boat compared to that. Feels like it will plane at 15 mph. Sits very low in the water. With 20 gallons of gas, 200xs, battery and oil tank in back the rub rail was, under water at back corners. It leaked a bunch of water on one side so I pulled some of the rub rail off and tried to reseal it. Hope to check it out again soon.Quote:
