Gotta admit, its different, but still a cool boat!

Cool boat....I don't think I would want to sit behind those short stacks coming off the heads for very long.

They go down and out muffed and out the sides...watch the vid again.. (me? I would have Zoomie Straight pipes and a 4 speed trans to use the HD torquey motor) But its a novelty, and see zero wrong with that! Plus the guy that sent it to me lives north me here, and he built a boat similar this. Can't find his pic,

I wonder if it leaks oil just like a real Harley?

Of course my sister says they don't leak oil, but rather just mark their parking spots.

Old ones sure did leak (AMF years too), as vertical split CC would scrub the gasket apart. Changed later with the wonder gasket "out a tube" that would "give". As the rest the motor as a combo of Cast iron, and machined Aluminum (Shovels), all expanded at diff temps, so scrub the gasket out and leak. All changed when the Evo motor came out (had a 84 EVO Bagger, last enclosed chain, but wet clutch and 5 speed). Did over 90,000 CC road miles and never let down or leaked. It was all Alum cases, jugs, heads so all expanded the same. CYL head to jug base expanded .018 for "getting fat with heat".
Heres a link read and so some will learn..and they also liked "Pick Up" rides in the back too
