Things are coming along so far.
1. Pulled Supercat engines, drives gimbals and boxes and all the nice rigging I put in it, resivors, battery boxes, trim pump holders, pre oilers, sea strainners, Fuel pumps, water seperators, VHF radio, swapped 380 K-plans to 280, Piratecom intercom system and such.
2. Sold XR drives, gimbals and Imco boxes,
3. Bought two complete 502cid-465HP mercury engines.
4. Bought two low hr. bravo one drives and 2 newly rebuilt B1 gimbals.
5. Found a leak in a header on one Supercat but no damage also found solid lifters instead of hydraulic.
6. Dynoed that Super Cat engine again just to check it, made 635HP ran it on up to 7,000 rpms "talk to me baby".
7. Cleaning bilge now for re rig.
8. Drives and gimbals will be in tomorrow and can throw the gimbals on. Motors arrive first of the week.
9. Next week, Dyno 465 HP engines to make sure they don't need anything.
10. Clean, paint and install 465 HP engines. Drives look good nothing needed as far as paint and gimbals have been painted already during the rebuild.
11. Sell the Velocity to free up some cash to rig the Cat W #6's instead of Arnesons
12. Still haven't totally decided on running the Super cats in the cat yet but still open to that idea.Last edited by Velocity Vector; 01-15-2010 at 12:14 AM.

I think a rode trip to FL when the cat is done will be on my agenda, we will test the 6-8 footers then. Deal?

Chit, you have been busy. Not going to get done just looking at it right?
I dont know about you but I get really anxious when I have all my crap spread all over the shop floor. I am having a hard time with one motor, drives, and all trim pumps off of one side.
Looks warm enough to get some glass work done this weekend and then start heading in the right direction.
