I agree the weight I have forward helps me out a lot even still I get some proposing at certain speeds and conditions could just be me still getting used to my set up though... Wasn't really thinking about it but without all the nose weight from the cuddy it would probably porpoise a lot more...

I just finished installing a bracket on mine a few months ago. Granted my boat started life as a I/o but I don't see much of a difference between the way it comes off plane now and how it did before with the 5.7l v8. It drafts the same as it did with the I/o. I installed a 250efi merc that used...

Merry Christmas!!

Same to you Vic!

Lakeland also has a Aebi terra trac tractor (also sold by the menzi dealer) and that thing would be pretty awesome just to run off road with no mowers on it also made to run steep hills and the seat adjusts to level no matter the angle! But also around 100k

I think the one Lakeland has was over 200k I'm thinking closer to 250k. Yeah your menzi powered truck would only run maybe 15 or so mph.... I think you like speed a little more than that!

I used to work for menzi muck in Lakeland and I will say they were fun to operate and you wouldn't have to worry about getting stuck! Just don't blow a hydraulic line they used panolin hydraulic fluid and it was $100 a gallon for the stuff and that was 5 years ago... But I'd like to see one with...

Thanks Ridge! Yeah not runnin too bad for a 32yo boat! Kinda reminds me of ole Shelby the swamp mans boat! Lol. Still have a few bugs to work out and loose ends to tie up but all in all I'm very happy with the outcome!!! And tried to upload pics again and still won't upload so I don't know.......

Not sure why but this site only seems to let me upload one pic a day then all other attempts to upload a pic fail

A few pics

Finally got to take the boat out and run it today for the first time since i started this project. Have to say I'm pretty pleased looks like the hard work is paying off. Still have some stuff to do but at least I can say I know what it runs like. Top speed was 53 at 5700 rpm. So I think my prop...

Happy thanksgiving to you and everyone else on here!

Just been lacking some motivation but hopefully will be testing it out the weekend after thanksgiving!

Ridge every time I see pics of your boat runnin like that it make me want to hurry up and get mine buttoned up and out on the water!!!

Bella still isn't sure about it...

Pretty much same pic I posted befor but now with trim tabs and steering installed.

Nah bud not quite finished yet... Had a lot of stuff come up I've had to take care of the last few months with family and work. I actually started back on it a couple weeks ago. Have the hydraulic steering installed and bled now. Bought a set of used Lenco trim tabs for $10 that I've installed...

I'll put together a better vid and post it when I get back working on it! I've got a 21p prop right now and I'm gonna try it first... Hopefully it will be pretty close otherwise I'll be saving for a new prop also. What prop were you running on this engine when it was on your boat?

Got the engine fired up today! Sounds great on the hose at idle!!! Getting closer one tiny step at a time!! Still finishing up wiring does anyone know if there are several wires not used in the engine harness on these efi engines or are they repurposed? Like choke, magneto kill wire ect? I mean...

Just went out and measured mine it's a little over 5" but you should be fine with whatever you have if your other measurements are good. The measurement your looking for really doesn't matter and has to many variables to make a decision based on it. But sounds like your pretty close to where...
