I had the trans rebuilt and changed the valve body to a TCI Reverse Order Shift Pattern: Park–Reverse–Neutral–First–Second–Third.
All I can say is the boat is absolutely insane. I got it up to 4,800 - 5,000 RPM's in Havasu chop and we had to be doing 80 - 85 MPH. It gets there right now too. Need to track down some more gremlins but hopefully she will be gremlin free in a month or so. BTW Kevin, Scott used longer bolts on the direct drive so no worries.

Good deal Jerry! Glad you finally got that thing going.
Jerry glad to see Greg's boat in good hands and getting the treatment that Greg always wanted to do to it. Greg was always to busy running it instead of doing better repairs lol. YES! You better keep those flower pots on that boat, Greg loved those and said said there would be bad juju for those that remove them! Like jermie lol

Now that I am broke the flower pots will definitely be staying ☺ so no bad juju.
Looks like I have to replumb the dumps. If you have any pictures of where your dumping your water from post them up.

I plumbed everything to dump out by the drivers seat. Flatty style but it makes sence to do it that way. All them dump out that side that way i can check the temp with my hand and also see that there is water coming out.
Hey Westernaero, lets see some updates on your project... PLEASE???

I definitely loved watching Greg run that boat. I am glad to hear you aren't removing the flower pots... They make the boat identifiable. Can't wait to see it run when you get the gremlins worked out. Maybe you will be in Needles and I can get some pictures.
