Top quality stuff Jim as always by you. Hope it finds a good racer home. Long time since I saw you last. I retired from the Army with 31 years in Oct 2014. Racing all around TN and IN now. Hope to see you around. LTC (Ret) James Beasley aka "Tunnel King"
 
Colonel Beasley, Bob & Jerry,

I'm working on the boat & engine as I write this Colonel Beasley. I have added custom built ceramic hybrid bearings with polished races for this year. Bob, according to our Stalker radar gun the coating makes the boat approximately 2 to 3 MPH faster. One characteristic of the coating, if it is properly mixed & applied, is it's resistance to surface scratching. I used the same type of coating on the gas rigger & found the same results. The coating is not sanded to a very smooth finish. Accurate determination of the speed increase is difficult because of changing water conditions. A large speed increase & precise control of the engine from low to WOT throttle was accomplished with the OS MAX 9 B carburetor mounted on the Nelson .45 long stroke engine. This is the same engine as the FAI speed engine, but with a left hand crankshaft. The crankshaft has a .750" OD & a flow ramp is used inside. Thanks Jerry. I have a Lee Craft XT-460, courtesy of Lohring Miller, that I may attempt to setup if time permits.
