Foam removal

Eric I would agree with not firing up the BFN, slep with the windows open last night but calling for snow again this week end. I think cold temps are still in the forecast for a few more weeks for me. The lake is open in spots but still alot of ice.

eric im gonna be sending out my 4 blade acme 422..i know santes decent, any others?..i know you mentioned something but dont remember details.

Alignment tommorow!!!
I'll get some pics tommorow

Eric the water test length gets longer everytime you mention it. I find that funny. Anyway any new pics for us? Did you get the shaft back finally so you can install it and the engine?

Doesn't sound like waiting until mid-April should depress you too much. You have got to be stoked about getting her back in the water though. Good Luck.

prop showed, sent it back

The trans looks great by the way. The boat is starting to look like the interior is supposed to look. Sorry you missed lunches and dinners.

looks like your pretty close to laying carpet in the thing.

Eric what's the deal with the manifolds? What made you want to put them in or you just messing with me? I was kinda looking forward to do some work on my own boat. But if you think there will be a problem with them let me know.

I think I will just give you a call on wednesday morning to see what's going on. I don't want to put you any further behind on your tranny work.

we'll chain it in there, and maybe a couple trucker's binder's

I did some work on Lee Braytons (indy car engine builder) small yacht that broke down here in Cleveland and we docked it down in the Flats about 300 feet down from Shooters. I needed the boat roughly for 2 weeks and he told me if i would like i could stay on the boat during the repairs. off to home i went to get some clothes. well on one friday night i counted 20 give or take people on the boat.
when the boat was finally complete he asked me if i had anyone on the boat and you know the answer, apparently he found 2 wine glasses and an empty bottle of wine on the back deck.
moral of the story.. dont lend me your boat

87BFN, I picked up your 514 Stroker from Robert Yates today. I'll go ahead and throw it on the truck headed for Eric's. You can pay me when you're down in May for the race. Better add a few more inches of pitch to that prop also.

Eric I haven't been on here for a few weeks did you make the floor out of plywood and then glass over it? It is hard to tell from the pictures

not only did i miss lunch i also skipped some dinners, I want to get her done, trannies are starting to roll in and i dont want to get cluster f-d,
probably another 2 weeks or so, the hard part is done,
Did you order a prop? and am i installing the manifolds? by the way they are 3.500 at the manifolds then drop to a 3.00 I spoke with the Boat Doc already
