    I need a couple pictures of a SBC powered AQ 290

    I just need to see how the raw water pipe and hose are routed to the pump on a SBC powered 290 or SP drive. I've swapped the 280 for the 290. I've just can't see how the hose routes. The 290 was a AQ131. The pipe is the same but the hose looks like it would have to go up over the valve cover...

    Making some more progress the end is finally in sight. I made a bit of a miscalculation on the deck height at the front which left me with a 5/16" drop at the seam. I had played around with how to deal with it many ways and finally today I had a idea that would solve the problem. Yes I know I...

    Made the stiffeners for the hardtop mounts last night and added the PB to the perimeter of the deck where the hull and the deck meet. The 1 gallon ziplock bag is my favorite weapon of choice with this boat rebuilding stuff. Put the PB in a gallon ziplock cut the corner and use like a caulk...

    I/O to outboard conversion

    Pod/Bracket that term is used pretty loosely from what I can see.

    I/O to outboard conversion

    The best thing I ever did on the 19 ft aluminum I had was to put a bracket on. It really made the boat work well and gave me all that extra space back. I would've put a bracket on the Bayliner I'm rebuilding currently but it wasn't in my budget for this year. I left the stern equipped well...

    Now we're getting somewhere. Lastnight I went as far as I could go with the center box the resin was not catalyzed enough for the temp, I went conservative for working time I should've we all in. This morning everything was ready and after a quick hit with the sander to knock down any high spots...

    So if you're playing with floatation foam and don't want it all over. I tried this trick tonight. A gallon ziplock fits inside a 2 ¹/2 quarts paint mixing cup and a quart bag fits inside a quart mixing cup. Do your bag with equal parts close the ziplock knead the bag like your girlfriend bewbs...

    Hey what do you know all the parts I was waiting on showed up today. The Y-pipe got here right after calling the place and leaving a voice-mail to get a tracking number. Then the resin showed up. The cabinetry work for the motor cover/bar/bench seat/bait station is laid out niw. I got busy...

    The springs are almost 40 years old so that's a possibility. From where the fenders are placed though I'd say it was about where it should be within a inch at most. 4x4's for bunks I don't think I've ever seen them used from a factory built setup. The trailer lights are done with exception of...

    The bunk supports are in no way connected to the axle. Somehow this boat and trailer survived together for how many ever years. The problem I'm still struggling with is how you put a axle in a trailer with v supports and then put the axle in where they are higher than the V's. Nearest I can...

    1/2" or less clearance? Yeah no thanks. If it needs to ride lower we'll get drop axles.

    Bout 4" higher may go to 14 tires. It has 13's what a joke.

    New starter is in. Quite a difference in size these new starters are. I've switched all my life ford's over to them and wow what a difference in starting cold. I'll see about sae 30 is only a few quarts. No huge deal

    I used 10w40 Castrol GTX hopefully that will be fine. This unit probably won't see many hours this year with the way it's going now.

    X2 on seloc manual uselessness. Whoever had it before me must have used gear oil. It had that distinct aroma, the fins down on the propshaft all looked good. Bearings and gears all looked pretty good I put new seals in the drive bottom to top. Everything looked pretty good the seals were...

    Not really got anywhere in the last couple days. The 5 gallons of resin I was waiting on got shipped way across town to a different address and fouled up part of my plans to have the deck done. Maybe it will show up and I'll get it set up next week who knows at this point. Dad in the boat...

    A little drive love today. I finally found the answers for the drive unit oil fill and type. Almost all the seals have been replaced. And I have a full length skeg again. Now if the weather would stop with the rain and if my polyester resin would show up I can get the rest of the boat built out.
