A while back I did something REALLY stupid, I took a file to my OS 21 Xm exaughst port with out a measurement. I just ground until I though it looked good. MAN, I HAVE NEVER SEEN THAT KIND OF SMOKE COME OUT AN ENGINE BEFORE!!!! I looked at my NEW piston and sleeve last night, and was wondering how much could I get away with without going to far. I now have a digital caliper, so I can get exact measurements.

[billr]

HTB 260 (26")

-CMB Greenhead no mods except headclearence of .0065

-Carbon Fiber pipe out of Australia

-Lawless with cut skeg

-Standard engine mount

-onboard mixture contoller by Precision Boats

-A few ounces up front

-2 or 3 pos. degrees on the foot angle

-Ugly paint job-shiny yellow first then add a years worth of grime

-a few spots of epoxy putty for love taps

and you get a boat that has been radared at 50 mph(maybe more??).

my connecting rod has worn though, so Precision will be fixin' it up for me soon.

Mississippi water never gets to cold to run... just the wuss drivers who stay at home and whine.... hehehehe!!!!!

Hi Gene,

I love mine.. Mike Crawford builds a great boat.. No tricks so far. I don't know any ;D!!! And talk about easy to setup.. I set the prop 1/8" above sponsons and slightyly negative angle and away it went. No weight, no wings, no fuss.

If I ever figure out how to tune an engine I hope to race consistently.

I'll see if I can find any pics of mine running. I know I had a couple.
