Looked to me that what he was describing was indeed billet and not a cast piece. I don't see anything wrong there. Not sure why you think it is a marketing scam? There are definite advantages to billet materials over cast pieces in certain instances. Strength and weight savings are two that come to mind. Of course it all depends on how the original billet block was heat treated before it was milled.

Almost ready for its first run, probably tomorrow will be initial break in!

Thanks, I think we are ALL very interested in how im gone to prop it lol! Its a 12 in 15 pitch right now. I'll have to order a couple props from acme when the time comes

I can't believe how violent this thing sounds !!! Its beautiful! To drunk to take a good video, you'll guys will have to wait till tomorrow lol!

Ok guys, I've been working 50hrs a week at the marina and working on my own junk so I've had no free timeto post . If you guys help me with my current problem however I promise I'll put up a buttload of pics. Yes, I'm holding pictures hostage.

It's got a Borg 71c, twice now at about 3k rpms I've blown the input transmission seal. Wasn't accelerating either time it happened, just cruising. I replaced the seal when iI rebuilt the motor. It pushed out the seal the first time, the second time around I glued it in and it still happened. Cheap seal? Not the right glue? Something wrong with the trans?

I don't think it's heat related, the second time it happened I didn't get 300ft from the dock.


Couldn't help but notice the oil pump is right under the input seal, is there a lot of pressure on that seal?

Hmm that sounds like a pretty good answer to me! Would a messed up heat exchanger cause back up pressure? Mine has a couple dings

Nope, sounds like a tranny rebuild is in your future.

Too bad, I was looking forward to hearing how it ran out. When you get it back together, bring an extra pair of pants (just in case).

Well if its just the oil pump, cant I replace just the pump? looks like they cost about $210.


And yeah, you need your game face on above 50mph

That sounds nasty.

It's hard to capture the way an engine sounds in simple video, even stock v8's sound pretty nasty.

I guess we'll see if my theory is correct on the slow vs. fast mustang molds. I've noticed that the ones with the "transom pad" tend to run faster and exhibit fewer dangerous tendencies at high speeds than the smooth backed version this boat has. Peter, did your Skylark have the pad?

So do you guys think replacing just the oil pump will solve my problems?

As long as you have the trans opened up, rebuild it!! I caution you that there are tolerances that must be measured that are not in the manual.

She sounds mean

Hope you guys like pics.
