Can I borrow someones prop puller?

Eric, I just so happened to throw my prop kit in my trunk today. Whats your schedule look like this afternoon?

Im picking up a prop in NH this afternoon- Ill probably be in the area between 3 and 5. If that works for you, Ill give you a call before I swing by. I think Ive still got your # and address.

Don't post it here we're all waiting to call a nineteen year old kid. Not

Lot's of sausage's here butt none in the bun!

Ken

did they smooth out all of the machine marks on that ACME prop when they worked on it? or is it still a little rough like from the factory?

Chris,

It's partially smoothed out. Seems like it's an accurate blending process.

For what it's worth, not sure if you can see the fine detail.

I saw that picture before and it does look a lot smoother than it came from the factory.

Ive driven an '80 with a 454 and I wasnt that impressed with the holeshot. The extra weight certainly doesnt help. It should probably have a little advantage on the top end though.

Chris, youre talking about this boat. He wasnt a member here- he just showed up for the land portion of the event. He was spouting all sorts of crazy numbers (400+hp, 60+MPH @ 6000RPM), but I dont think he had the hardware to back up his claims. He never showed up on the water, so I never got the chance to line up with him. I believe he sold the boat through this site last fall.

I agree though, in addition to being clean, the SS hose looks particularly good on his motor. I looked into buying some, but the interlocked SS duct hose that he appears to have supposedly isnt airtight. Perhaps he was running it over his regular water hose. I found some nice SS braided hose, but its upwards of $50/ft.

It's called "FlexiKool" radiator hose.They have it at Jeg's.I have seen it cheaper on some other mail order sites.You can cut it to length.Looks like the same stuff he had on his boat.
