I love the seperate exhaust dump. (huh, huh, i said dump) -that's for you sean.
Tom, I still can't what you've done w/ this boat!!!

**tomcei** · 05-31-2009 09:26 PM

thanks guys.
The water dump on the transom is from the chiller. I still need to tap some threads in the fitting and play with inserts to restrict water so I can get the chiller pressure correct. Need to replace a fitting on the oil pump that keeps dripping and some other odds and ends. I will feel great once everything is buttoned up and "cleaned".

Tom that thing sounds awesome.

Do you really not think that you will be able to make it to the River Rally?

**Out There** · 05-31-2009 10:15 PM

Very nice hardware! Cocktail cove for that beast.

**tomcei** · 05-31-2009 10:16 PM

Chris, I can't do squat about an outdrive until I sell some property.
Believe me, I'm hating it.

I have taken a vow not to buy with out cash.

**Perlmudder** · 05-31-2009 10:54 PM

that motor sounds AWESOME!

**Dude! Sweet!** · 05-31-2009 11:56 PM

Tom... you are the MAN! It's wicked. And you just cost me a bunch of money!

**duunoit** · 06-01-2009 09:16 AM

Does that mean you've finally made a decision (that doesn't involve fiberglass)?

I've got a drive you can borrow if you promise to turn the boost down to about -10 psi

**duunoit** · 06-01-2009 09:19 AM

oh yeah, you will probably need to pull two plugs, too.

**tomcei** · 06-01-2009 09:23 AM

funny stuff!

I'm going with the scx drive. I already mounted up the HP imco gimble assmy. I purchased the assy with the "helmet" for the scx. no trans and a bolt up application.
The boost is only at 5

**ar15meister** · 06-01-2009 09:41 AM

tom that motor is awesome.

my bilge is downright shameful in comparison as far as cleanliness.

I will have many questions next winter when I rebuild my motor and redo my bilge!!!

Wonderful job.

Ah, yup...

Hey Tom. Got your message. I'll give you a shout tomorrow. I really dig that external oil pump deal. I had a dry sump belt come off my race car the second time I had it out... total heart attack. I had a very bright idiot light in the dash panel though, so I shut her down as soon as I chucked the belt.

What oil pan are you running?

**tomcei** · 06-01-2009 08:07 PM

I was just considering a low pressure sw. I'm also told that the pumps are very reliable.

Cool Tomcei!!!

Excuse me, but I have forgotten what power you have in that motor?
