White Lake 2018

That boat is a 79 Ski Nautique and the Owner is Sherwood ( Bigbirdmk) and he is an employee of PCM in Little Mnt., SC. Yes the motor was a closed loop transplant. He arrived with some minor fuel line collapsing issues and he had some stronger fuel line with him. He did the swap of the fuel line Saturday and the boat ran great. Patrick, also with PCM had a 93 ish Ski Nautique with a newer PCM swap out motor too. Those PCM guys seem to have access to some cool motors. Mark Snider, also with PCM, stayed with the old 302 Form Holman Moody Power in is Mustang , Orange with Black interior.

I do not have a thread on here with it but look at my Instagram or on Instagram search for #79skinautique. I installed that engine last year when I bought the boat because the 5.8 commander was seized up. The boat is fast and very responsive, but when you hit 5000 RPMs the bot is going faster than what it can handle and starts porpousing.

The well known high speed Correct Craft handling issues, that's why I'm OK with my measly 130 HP! Just kidding, seems like a few full sized CCFans in the back seat is a help with the porpoising, That boat is beautiful, and has to be a lot of fun with the re-power.

Fully disagree with that statement, porpoising=submarine

Uh oh do we have a debate forming.... BRB gotta get my popcorn....

When I’m referring to the porpousing on my 79 it’s drastic, it starts as a small bounce and quickly increases to the point it feels like the nose is going to go under water. I will not hold mine at WOT very long.

Yes it

I finally found Sherwoods FB page, but can't find the Instagram page. I'm an OG and don't have an Instagram account. A search for #79SkiNautique doesn't bring up any results.

Now that it's documented that a couple of guys are working for PCM, how about some parts discounts??? I really need a FCC for my EFI conversion.

Damn, not even dinner and a movie first [/QUOTE]
