The motors are 454 MPI motors. Unusually low hours, right about the 200hr mark. Off hand I cant remember what year or serial number. They are in phenomenal shape, great compression across the board. They still look brand new. They are mated to the VelvetDrive liberty transmissions. with the 2.5:1 re...

Joe, Thanks for the update. I knew about the down angle transmissions needed to be lifted up in the aft end. I plan on getting all new mounting brakets for this aswell. Do you have some pics? if you cant post them on the site, please email them to me thomas.dalyjr@gmail.com Thanks Tom

WetProcess, how far did your engines move back, and did you have to get new shafts? I ask because I just purchased new motors and transmissions, and my trans are the ZF Hurth with the 8* down angle. They are about 7 1/2" shorter than the original velvet drive transmissions. I am doing all the m...

Its been over a week now, an I have not seen my new tenant, or heard from him. No signs of him on the boat either. I also lot a small SS cable through the zipper on the door, and locked it to the swim platform. cant open the zipper without unlocking.

FrankB, IT is well enforced that ladders be chained up at my club too. I dont even have a ladder at my boat. The swim platform ladder appears to be how access was gained. But I have removed that. our video surveillance is pretty ample for when boats are in the water. but when stacked up on land ther...

I have been busy with work and the house, but I got the boat all wrapped up, organized my tools ect, and prepped for the winter storage. I packed ALL of the pillows, throw blankets, regular blankets and towels up in the V-berth cleaned and folded before I put her away for the winter. I had tools sta...

Rick, Are you talking about the small forward facing shield on the bridge? I have a plastics shop that I deal with, they sell 4'X8' sheets. I was thinking of the replacing mine with a tinted smoke colored one (to match the cabin windows and black stripes) I want to say that a 4'x8'x3/8" sheet i...

Mine was under 13'6" with the windshield off, steering wheel off, and the gears were selected to reverse.

Fore River, all the way up in Braintree. I am taking a couple of days off of the boat. I will be back at it on Sunday. I plan on getting the deck op and fuel tank ready to lift out. I am replacing the ENTIRE fuel system. event he through hull vent is being replaced. Fuel fill line, vent line, vent f...

We were able to haul the boat out last night and get those motors off the rear deck. That all went seamlessly.
