Wow, ok Gregg, 6000rpms is not good, I think max for this engine is 5500. This was the set up from the dealer? Didn't think they would do that.
I passed Harborfreight today but didn't stop...
I will get a tach,
I will get a tach... hehehe. Ya, I don't want to do something stupid and kill that engine. I think I'm going to get one of the digital toys instead of installing a tach... original dash speedo looks too cool. Thanks for the tip Brian. I'm happy with it... not breaking any speed records, but then again, I don't need to with this rig. It's got a story, it's got a history, I just don't want Gregg to leave me in his wake when I bring this thing up to an annual meet one of these days!
Doug, that color sounds really neat... would like to see it if you get a chance.
Sandy and I were thinking of naming the boat "Gunkel" after the original owners... Ella and Earl Gunkel. Not that it will be painted on the boat or anything. Anyone want to throw their 2cents in? I'm up for any better ideas.
I spent this evening touching up the paint on the trailer. It had a decent amount of surface rust on it, even with sitting in the garage all these years. I should get the hub caps back from being re-chromed by Friday.
Steering still in front of me.
