Jim,
What OS and type of device are you loading pictures from. I teested upladinnng a 11MB picture and it fails as being too large. Upload states nor larger than 10MB. Occasionaly I do have a problem getting the picture into the post on the first try. But ussually goes in the second time. I am using Widows 10 PC and edge as a browser. Good luck. |

Sorry guys, I've been a terrible thread host. #1 is now running on its own fuel and hose hookup. Transmission seems to change gears fine and the controls are decent. Has nice oil pressure! I now have 120psi in all cylinders except #3 which is 100 and takes a while to get that high. Motor shakes and I'm not sure why yet, when I get it on the water I can fiddle with tuning.
Only major problem is the generator stopped... generating. I'll mess with it this week. The weekend of 10th is offical test date |

Steer clear of photobucket. Awful site. Was awful before it held everyone's photos hostage and, despite realizing what an incredible problem that was, is still awful. Send me a couple photos (tlhineline@yahoo.com) and I will see if I have any better luck posting. I have not had any trouble with photos.

Still will not let me post photos. Is it possible the file size is too large? It uploads to ccfan, I click to add to the post then when I hit post it says "error inserting picture" and then fails and brings me back to the "reply post" screen with the image removed.
Should I just pay for photo bucket or something else?

Here's a picture of me and my sidekick that uploaded after I changed the height and width from the original values, which I've never had to do before. I think I just got lucky though. |

Kenosaby says............. he can upload from his site files just fine, like this recent picture you'd probably remember, but when I try to upload a new picture from the computer........no luck today he's also uploaded numerous pictures from the computer during the week or so since the last problem that we're both remembering after Keith's change was made.....till today rolled around Then again Marty, thanks, you gave the best explanation of anyone on how to post links when the site came back.

I would bet that Keith is working on the site to repair the damage done by the hackers.

Right now you shouldn't be feeling like the Lone Ranger It's nothing to change on your end, seems to be a site issue or maybe you and me are the Lone Ranger and Tonto and everybody else can post a picture, but I don't think so |

I keep getting the 'Error inserting object into location' every time I try to upload a pic, what settings should I change to stop this from happening?

Unless regular use at night, I'd likely just go with the temp anchor light.

I contacted Leo about the anchor light because I am a little hesitant to keep it. This was his response:
"No, I never put an anchor light on our boats because we never anchored them out at night. I would also have been reluctant to put holes in that seat back midship hull strengthener where that ski hook is located. However, new owners have made changes to their Nautique hulls without any problems." I think the fact that it was originally built without an anchor light is a very interesting aspect of it being a prototype. I'm contemplating removing it and filling the holes. I could always get one of those cheap battery powered anchor lights for USCG approval. What do you guys think? |

Yes, as I recall it was close to 15/16". Now, I'm not going to say that the struts that Leo was using were identical to the ones made by Meloon Foundry for Correct Craft. My boat was a '65 CC. Shaft overhang plays into it also, of course. Rule of thumb as I understand it is one shaft diameter for hull clearance.

FWIW, I found that 13 X13 with medium cup worked best on my 312 = 215hp.

Jim,
If you have a choice, I'd suggest starting with a 12" dia. x 15" pitch.

Just noticed an annoying detail. In the 1960 picture the boat has a left hand prop, both motors I have are right hand... ...guess I'll be rebuilding the Ugly motor to be left hand and run the Blue motor right hand for now
Does anybody have any decent RH props they want to loan me :) |

Thank you Art, I am going to do the Interceptor ones as well, people that have seen the boat in person have said "Don't restore the lettering, leave it like it is!" Sad reality is that if I don't restore them now, they will be gone forever. And yes, everything is aligned, I'll have to pull the engine one last time to paint the floor. |

Looking good, Huss. Did you get the engine mounts and installation height worked out? I hope that you'll have the "Powered by Interceptor" label refreshed also. People associate "Interceptor" with high performance engines in law enforcement vehicles because Eaton Corp, (the parent company of Interceptor) besides marinizing Ford engines for marine applications, modified Ford engines for police vehicles. The engines had a label on the valve covers that read "Police Interceptor." When I had my '65, the most common remark I got if I opened the motor box at a dock, was, "Wow is that a fuel injected engine?" Lots of people want to know why the carburetors and side-draft and installed low profile. It saves vertical room. When installed in a sport fisherman type boat, the manufacturer can lower the deck over the engine room considerably.

Yeah, it literally says it on the side. It's literally spelled out lol. Sorry for the lack of updates guys. It's still been a crazy season for us. I'll try to upload some pics tonight. I almost have the floor completely done, I just have to finish the drop in sections that go over the driveshaft. I hope to have the floor painted this weekend! |

Yeah, thought this would start a discussion on here ;-)
Maybe it's just about the first one to have the "Nautique" 'decal' on the side ;-)
