Sorry to hear this........
Are you still going for the record and also keep everyone informed of your progress?
I, for one, would hate to see this thread slowly get buried in the archives.

100% still going for the record. 100% will keep everyone posted. Just got to get through this weekend of getting Jon Wright's stuff back to Ohio, then I will get busy posting progress. Thanks

GOOD!!!!!!
My "little" heart skipped a beat !!!!!!
I think we're all living vicariously through your project...... That way, we can ALL run 200 mph in an outboard!!!

Good luck this weekend & be safe on the road.

I have the outrigger boat at my shop in Ohio now. To answer that question right now, I am not sure. We are down at Gina Wright's getting Jon's stuff first thing in the morning. We just got in our hotel and are so excited to get the work done by the professor.

Lol@Rock....I. Can't sleep waiting to see the next post on this thread. Shoot I am still offering to check the air pressure in the trailers and tow vehicles. To be able to read how this is unfolding is awesome !!!!!!!

We are back in Ohio with no issues, love Kentucky. We made it back with trailer, Tinker Toy, 9 motors, 6 gearcases, 2 Wright's devices (one being the one Jon built for me in 1993), lots of good stuff to work with. I think I am most excited about the turbo OMC. BAD ASS!! That is all I can say. I will start posting pics tomorrow. Right now, I am crashing and going to bed. Again Thank you Jon, Gina and Rodney Nance.

Earlier in the thread there was a post about Monty building a motor for this??? Was that for you or the "other guys". Trying to keep it all straight....I might be completely mistaken....again.
