NEW PROJECT

[pfi572]

So pump intakes mounted further ahead with bowl bolts inside boat through the transom to bowl itself ?
Old school ? Lol

 

[NoBrakes!]

no sir pumps are parallel on the transom. motors staggered to keep centered. I'll find a pic.

one is short coupled with bell housing mount and side mounts, other is a rear motor plate and side mounts.

Yeh I thought that but are clean outs inside boat or outside .
All the older boats had clean outs inside and bowl bolts had to be taken out from inside engine compartment.
Disregard above comment as they are outside .

Its not that old, I think maybe 1990? original rigging was Kodiak 350s and 309s. I was born in 86 and grew up on this thing.

How did it work with all the weight in the back . Fuel can’t be moved a bit further ahead ?
Big long boat so probably not to bad the way it is ?

[NoBrakes!]

It definitely wasn't your normal family boat... but we are far from your normal family lol

This is an interesting project.

I've never taken pumps out of a box before!

Neither have I, I would think that they come with whatever impeller you ordered. That looks like a used A impeller laying in your boat right there. I guess with 2 engines, the A impeller should have enough thrust to get that boat - loaded- up on step quick enough.

Bow hatch cover is on and I had a rail welded on the windshield. Dual gas shocks and matching latches on the engine covers. It's pretty much ready to start rigging.

[snoflake]

Better get er going. Be a great pre run boat for the FSJ race this Sept. You can take a whole class to pre run at a time.
