    Well after a month and a half break, I dug into the boat a little today. Replaced the potentiometers in the throttles, fixed the throttle faults. Pulled and cleaned the fuel pressure regulators, they had a ton of crap in them. Replaced the thermostat and water pressure sensor on the center motor. Port and starboard motors run great now, center motor is still starving for fuel. Gonna run on a portable tank to isolate it and try again

    Give you a ton of credit to keep banging away at the gremlins. Sounds like there could be a light at the end of the tunnel for you?

    short video running today cruising about 55 mph



    Seems like each time I run it I have some kind of progress, into the 60's with full fuel, responds really well to trim, outer motor height seem perfect, center motor seems like it can come up a couple holes. Will figure that out once I get the bugs worked out of the motors

    Well, after swapping parts from center motor to port motor all week and testing, the center motor runs better and the problem never followed to the other motor. Currently turning between 5950 and 6150 on port and starboard and 5750 to 5950 on center on flat water. Center motor is buried on engine height, port and starboard have room to go up. next is raise the engines up and run it again... only fault is a shift switch on starboard motor. My plan is to get these motors running nice and put them back on the market and look for a set of 300's or 350's

    Ok, this post may come to a surprise for y'all, but the project boat will be put up for sale in the near future. Not necessarily giving up on the project, I have the opportunity to get into the boat I have been dreaming of with a client of mine, and I just don't see the boat getting used much if at all even if it gets finished.... If anyone is interested in the boat as it is, or fully finished how you would like it, please send PM me.

    had a friend make me a switch panel, wired it up and installed it.

    Did a little work to the boat this week, installed the final dash panel. Also used up some gift cards and got a fusion bluetooth nmea2000 head unit, and a pair of jl 7.7's, gotta have some tunes for the fun run.





    Squeezed a little more speed out, half tank of fuel, 3 people, 2 yeti coolers full of food and drinks, 3 suitcases. Put 142 miles on her in a day and a half and she ran great. A little dissapointed they started the fun run 30 minutes early and we missed out on the helicopter shots, she was eating up the chop.... Picking up jack plates on Tuesday, hopefully get a couple more MPH out of it.

    Such a great idea, the cockpit can double in size with the conversion. A interior place could set up a nice wrap around bench in the back and a small sunpad.

    A friend of mine bought it and finished the interior with double row of bolster seats and a U shape lounger at the stern. He's taken the boat to the keys by water, and over to the Bahamas
