Who in their right mind restores a BAYLINER?!

[FMP]

Heck, even a Chrysler 105 would push that thing along great. Not quite so modern, but still a goer

The thing I found with port work, is to be cautious. And with three all exhausting into a common chest, you can get all sorts of blow-back and reversion issues. That's why many race motors run stacks so that each exhaust pulse is kept separate from the others. Not saying that was the issue, but it might have contributed...

But the thing is, you are learning stuff all the way along. Stuff that others may not know. Stuff that you can use in the future as you go further in this sport

And building hot-rods is always frustrating, and fun

Yeah, I can see a tunnel with a Force 150 5-cylinder (with mods) on the back. That ought to get some attention

Such as these did.

It was a hit @ the river run! Got a lot of questions on it. The most popular was "How old is this boat?". To which most expect a reply like "50's or 60's". I see looks of disappointment when I say it's a 1995 lol. But it's got classic style.


By the way - - - By almost a month, we missed the BIRTHDAY of this thread !!! First post was September 2015~! haha.

Very unique boat. The bunny noticed it

Haha no kidding ~ Speedy 'Fiddy! I was suprised to hit 33mph with myself and a passenger with the 50 hahahaha. Kinda winding out @ 5700 rpm,,, Must get a bigger prop!

In other news, the powerhead for the 90 is 100% together. No pics yet, busted my iPhone this past weekend. Going to try and bolt her back onto the bayliner on Wednesday!

Cracking me up on a "Fiddy"! Just watch out Loch Ness monsters!

[home made tunnel]

Robby, that's hilarious haha. TREE FIDDY' !
wELL I about threw my back out today bear-hugging the powerhead onto the midsection. Had to take the lady out to dinner on the motorcycle because we have Summer in October today! Nearly 80 degrees!
But powerhead is on - Still no pics, still no smart phone, I'm in the stone age until I get brother or girlfriend to come down with me. Pizza and beer usually convince them to come down haha.

Got my Stryker 1300cc Raven edition. Couple extras here and there - Love the ride. Had sport bikes for 10 years or so.. had this one for a couple years.

[home made tunnel]

Swapped the motors ! Firing her up tomorrow - Need to set timing, carb sync, throttle linkage adjustments, and mixture screws. MAYBE put her in @ the dock and set idle speed too.
I'm excited all over again.

Stock block & porting
Bored .030" over
High compression head (will get numbers tomorrow.. May have to put the other head on due to the lower stock ports).
Carbon fiber Boyesen reeds

Also, a couple pics courtesy of Lady Bug from the Connecticut river ruN!

After sold my Super 90., as the Cushman, Vespa, and a kid cobbled minibikes!
