The “untold” story……. On the way to Florida we hit a SNOWSTORM in Georgia…… Very Strange. The Freeways shut down while they brought in snow clearing equipment from other States. Jimbo and I got the last motel room at the last exit going South before it was entirely shut down. Prototype motor……beautiful boat….. can you imagine the phone call to Jack Leek to inform him we were hit by a snowplow in Georgia and wrecked the entire project?? https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/e...5/16/1f633.png.
Thankfully, after two nights we continued on to Miami and got there safely. “The Rest of the Story”.
Question RogerH, or maybe even Lars if he see this. I own a '79 200hp and I am looking at adding some louvers to the cowling to get more air under it. I have noticed several pictures, like yours, shows the louvers on top, did that seem to work the best? Suggestions?
