Looking good Shrom! All you guys with your nice  and clean, freshly painted, engine bays. I'm kinda surprised you didn't take out the rear seat to pull the motor. It is nice on these boats how everything can be removed fairly easy to open up the engine bay if need be.

Thanks, I had thought of pulling the back seat, but honestly It wasn't really needed. The engine just lifted straight up and out. :)

For those who asked about the old to new manifold setup... Take a look at the picture. I will plug the center hole. and use the two outer holes. Direction should not matter. The water goes in the manifold and out the exhaust. lol All it is doing is cooling the manifolds/risers. As far as the risers go, That same hose that went to the original risers will go the new risers. Once I have it all together I will post more pictures

OK guys thought Id give you a preview of the rear end of my boat. I just got the tip holes cut out on Sunday. Tell you what out of all the work I did, cutting the 4 inch holes out was the hardest part of the hole project. Not only did it just feel weird cutting that big of holes in the transom but it was a pain. If any of you do this to your boat, Here is a tip that will make the drilling go faster( what I figured out and worked great ;D ) Cut the hole so that you get through the outside fiberglass, then peel that out so that you see the wood. Then around the hole drill a bunch of little 3/16 inch holes so that when using the 4 hole saw it is not cutting near as much surface area. Also allows the chips to fall in to those little holes....Anyhow. The tips are mounted and once they are cured I can put all the piping in place( hopefully this weekend I will have my 4brrl intake to put on also) If I am thinking right tips will all but one inch be under water line.

Looks great Craig! Can't get over how thick that transom is - Wow! :o You'll be chomping at the bit like Jeff and a few others this spring to get that baby in the water and hammer it! ;D

As far as your exhaust cooling I would route the port & starboard hoses from the top front of the engine to the existing hose barbs located bottom center of the manifold. That "T" fitting should also have a plug for draining. Or you could just pull the hose.

Yeah I'm pretty excited to say the least. All I need now is my intake to come and everything can go back together. including freashly airbrushed hatch. We had nice weather here this past weekend near 70 and now I woke up this morning and we had 5 inchs of snow on the ground...I'm ready for warmth.

Awesome work man! Those tips and the brushwork on the cover look great  :o

Keep it up...

Thanks my buddy was the one who did the brush work. I tried to incorporate the Glastron Strip as the underline and the pearl white "C" is Carlson.

more picture updates. This past sat I was able to get the S pipes and risers in place. This sat come the freshly painted new to me intake, and instillation of the 4brrl carb.  If it is warm enough out I will fire her up.

Looks awesome bud...I'm assuming it all went together smoothly?

When you get the chance, you should probably post of sound clip of it idling... ;D

 It did go vary smoothly, Once I have my intake/carb on and all my hoses ran, and of course nice weather. I will video it running at idle.

Looks great Craig! Nice and clean. 8) Personally I'd have to fire it up once the intake & carb are installed just to hear it! ;D

FYI - I mailed the engine cover screw to you today.

 Great!  :) As soon as I get It I will get started on a new print. I will keep in touch with you. I have to agree with you, I will be firing her up as soon as everything is together. I am putting it back into the garage this weekend to do more work on it. Including new speakers all the way around. Its got to sound good even with the engine off too ;D I have a few other odds and ends stuff on the to do list for it also, but there are not as exciting. I'm hoping my girl gets me a pair of the Carlson emblems for my birthday....she asked me what I wanted and that's all I told her lol

Those emblems aren't cheap but dang they just add so much to the look of the boat if the originals are trash. Money well spent IMHO.

Yes that is the sealant. That's stuff is made for making a good seal against wood, fiberglass and more.  Its sticks to surfaces better then your typical silicon.

Yup and it sticks so good that it can delaminate stuff if you have to disassemble so it should be used for faily permenant assemblies.
