Hey Guys the vinyl finally got finished and was able to pick it up and add to the hull.

Not exactly as i planned but close enough.

 

[Beau Parsons]

Looks like its done know lets see some test and tune.

 

[Darren Elson]

LOL not quite

still waiting for flexi grease,flysky radio and cooling pipe

other problem is all the ponds are thick in ice

 

[Beau Parsons]

Well than you can test it in your bathtub. LOL We have the same problem here it is winter but we all cant wait for open ice free water. I guess we will have to wait on mother nature. Boat looks great otherwise.

Hey guys

managed to finally fire up the engine and test the cooling system and everything seems to be working,1 thing i have got is a vibrating sound so gonna check everything back over and make sure iv tightend everything properly,ill find the culprit and sort it before going any further and running it.

 

[Darren Elson]

Hey guy managed to get wet today

Not great 1st run but going again tomorrow due to running out of time today and need to setup the carb as its running too lean

but got some shots of it sitting on the water

Question time now

will the carb settings be much different since adding the K30 topkit compared to the standard engine and carb settings

If so how many turns from closed would be a good starting point
