The SS has been splashed, but sorry.... no pictures yet. I have some engine overheating problems and was to busy watching gauges etc... :grumpy:

I promise some pics or video soon....

Come on CJ, you know it only really happened if we can see it.:grouphug: Hope the overheating problem is an easy fix.

Thanks JB!

I know Glen, right? Pictures tomorrow, whether it runs right or not!

I found part of the problem and am going back to the lake tomorrow for a water pump flow test. The weights in the distributer were not functioning, which caused it to be a real dog. It took 100 yards to get on plane if it got there at all.

I'm not sure what or why, but I've not been able to log onto the forum for over a week. I was able to get onto iboats.com... but trying to pull up the forum only got me an error message :facepalm: I got it fixed by giving iboats an email

So...... here's a short video of one of the water tests last week.

And.... of course had to do a little fishing while there!

I'm still having an overheating issue while idleling in gear. I need to find an exhaust elbow :grumpy: but might have to wait until after Christmas. Who knows???? Maybe Santa could bring me one

Very nice. Looked like she jumped right up on plane and was cruising nicely. Well done!
