tested it it hot and got another 5 psi per cylinder,added a little oil and got about 10-15 psi more

so i ran a compression test cyl 1-105 cyl2- 95 cyl3-95 cyl4-100 cyl5-100 cyl6-100 all a little low I would say but pretty equal.This was on a cold engine,i may retry it after running for a bit. Tested spark all cylinders reading 12kv at the plug. I also rechecked timing and found it 1.5...

Will do,thanks

I have an Inline 6 mercruiser with a 14.25x17 big ear aluminum prop. The motor seems to be running strong,timing etc all good yet I am only hitting 3400 rpm,speed around 30mph max with 2 people. Any ideas if I need to re prop or look for something else to get my rpm's up,or leave as is,TIA.

We were down in August,seems like a great location

lol blue runner,never tried it,i know Uncle Si swears by it. We are moving to Hampstead and I will be working in Wilmington,can't wait.:sun: thanks for all the kind words,it was tough to keep at the project at times. Removing bottom paint in july is no joke.

Here is the glassed in Deck. I had to build up the saddle tank platforms due to the raise in deck height,to prevent water sitting under the tanks per the original design. It needs a little sanding here and there and then fairing.

Nice top on your old boat

It's nice when they can be fixed for just a little of your time and no cost,good job

I understand the theory of using multiple squares but thats only possible if you have an intact surface to lay them out on,my deck had already had the center section removed by a previous owner to allow a poor stringer fix,or if you pull the whole cap and turn it upside down. I would also...

sometimes you can find a radar arch on craigslist that will fit

thanks for all the kind words, It sure does feel good to be walking on a deck again instead of crawling around in the bottom of the hull.

the deck is all in and ready for glass. I did away with the step down in the deck area, I felt it was treacherous for the kids. I re used the floor boxes,that was quite a bit of work to make them fit back in nicely and be create a strong mount.
