Lets see if we can start a thread about boats

Tutorial for Bob....

Life Instructions For Bob

I spent the better part of 60 years perfecting this, and you think I'm interested in changing? Take another hit off the pipe Bruce.
if I was looking for friends, I'd have you "like me" on a Facebook page.

On looking back at the picture he posted, he might not have Jet Boat headers, but man is that engine angle up there. Not a good combination if you like to turn at speed..

Lets not sugar coat this snoc. THEY ARE jet boat headers. The engine is not on that much angle.

Seriously? RDP is ALL BOATS ALL THE TIME. There is no more boating content over there than there is here, and most of it is WRONG!

So, I take it that your heads are marked left and right, and no more interchangeable than the headers.

Using your logic, this must be V drive headers installed on a jet. OR, maybe you own this jet. :smile:
With your attitude, you may find yourself looking to the v drive experts at RPD for any advice you might need. I think that's where this guy gets his helpful tips.

Just saw your boat yesterday. Think it'll be ready for summer? Mines going back in for some touch up next week.

BUILD is usually more than a 2 step process.

With 2MM, making a cocktail or changing the sheets on the bed is a BUILD.

So much hostility around here. I thought/hoped things would be better over here at HB.
Same clowns, different circus.
Back to the OP's topic.
I saw your boat before Stu started cutting out the stringers. Man, good call on opening her up. Those timbers, and I mean timbers because those stringers were HUGE, rotted pretty bad. What's that hull weigh? Built like a tank.
