Pictures of progress?

I did purchase an additional cowl 2 years ago and cut the top portion off, just never got around to actually glassing the top part. Partially because I didn't know what I wanted it to look like. I might just take the plung and start framing it and glassing over... Only issue is the darn pipe...

Haven't run my boat in a couple of years as its been tucked away under my stairs since my son was born. Happened upon it last night while cleaning up and remembered how much I hate the cowl. Has anyone done any modification to the cowl on the Proboat Hydros that works and looks cleaner? I am...

Just have this engine sitting around and I wanted to see what could be done with some port work to maybe squeeze anything more out of it. Worst case the engine breaks? oh well, its not really being used anyway. Just want to see what I can do. Any tutorials or pictures outlining work that can...

hey Mike, I cant seem to find these pictures in your gallery. Would love to see pics!

hmm... think I might give it a try :blink:

I was wondering if the the JAE .12 would be made to easily take twin .12's? I love the the .12 but wanted more speed :P If possible to do I would be going the way of twin Nova's from Glenn as well as his pipes. Not sure of prop choices (suggestions?) OR has this been done and I am just...

what would be a good length for the Q18?

that would be great! Having a hard time finding a strut assembly and cable local :( Silly Canadians and our lack of boating supplies @ our LHS... (well, atleast the ones I am aware of)

anybody have a MV Strut Assembly and Flex Cable they wish to part with? :D

what is a direct replacement for the not so good Proboat flex cable on the Proboat hydro? I hear "OCTURA! OCTURA!" shouted from the streets all the time. Are there other choices? Looking for direct links to these parts (if you have them) or part numbers will suffice :) Now of course, the...

its all done and painted.. I guess not bad for my first ever attempt at using HVLP sprayers :) Took it out this past weekend at the cottage (took awhile to get the new motor running). Flipped it a few and soaked the switch... no problems :) Decided after to put a rubber boot over the switch...

Octura Y535 seems to be a popular choice for that size boat/engine. Mark Sholund over at Props 4 U has good props and prices! Check him out
