I had an inhull that wasn't properly mounted, and was actually using the residual bilge water as it's connection to the hull. On plane, that water...

Yes, but not there. It belongs about 100 feet from where it is stuck.

My plan is to pull it up and get it unstuck, then lay it down and let it float. Drag it around to where I need to be, drill...

I only had the barrels strapped on with a ratchet strap and one started working loose, so I need to figure out a better attachment method for those.

The support arms are lag bolted into a corner of the fiberglass where it is thicker and stronger, however I found on working loose yesterday when I did my first lift. I abandoned the job and will be...

I don't know if this applies to your generator, but the Kw output also depends on frequency. For instance, my generator is the 5.0 bcg. It puts out 5kw at 50hz, and 4.5kw at 60 hz. Same generator,...

Yea, my first comment was really the comparison. Just was thinking about how much you really can squeeze out of the same displacement

Floated it the other day, and it will definitely need some more flotation on the bow. Picked up about 300 pounds, but the bow was getting close to going under. 2 barrels on outriggers should do it. ...

Our 1967 Firebird 400ci is doing over 500hp on a 650 cfm Holley and pump gas.

Nascar 350's do 900hp on a 4 barrel carb (fuel injected now) with a restrictor plate.

Not sure what's next. We'll see how she performs in her primary role, and got from there. May also get used hauling debris such as tires up out of the river.

Nope, no motor. That is why I'm thinking I may need to add outriggers for more flotation.

I keep laughing at myself, that thing looks so redneck. But I only have $200 invested in it, and if I can...
