Do you still remember your first line? "This is my video diary of my huge mistake". You sounded so small when you said that first line.

I didn't see a bit of disappointment in that last video!!

Wow just doesn't cover it. I don't know what it is, you have this quirky little style that makes these videos fascinating to watch. Thank you for the story despite the hardships! I probably groaned and cheered at every up and down!

After you've had some fun (hell, you deserve it after all that), think about some piloting videos. I think you'd put a cool spin on an old material.

Looking forward to the naming ceremony!!

I was grinnin ear to ear watchin the last vid, and got goosebumps at the de-naming ceremony oddly enough super stoked for you and yours, as ive watched along with everyone else from the dock ...... I guess as they say, the lord works in mysterious ways.... Enjoy bud!


On a seperate note, I was talking to a buddy of mine telling them your story, and without realizing it I said "a friend of mine Jay" etc. etc...... Thinking back, weve never met, but I feel like were friends... All the best Jay, you earned it.....

Dang, I gotta get home so I can watch the boat in action. The vids of the Exhaust installation and the firing up of the engine in the driveway was awesome, but I can't link to vids from work... Getting off in half an hour... Great job on everything and I'm sure I'll be picking your brain for knowledge over the next year. Enjoy all the boating to come...

Got home and watched the videos... AWESOME... You did great work and I know you and yours will have a blast on her. Congratulations!!!

Regaurding the tack issue. If you are set up for a 6 cylinder engine the tack expects 6 fires per rotation so at sat 3500 RPM.....

3500/6=583.33 (number of pulses the tach thinks it's getting per revolution)

583.33*8=4666.67 (number of pulses tack is actually getting per revolution)

You either need to change the setting on the tack or get a new one (IMHO).

Congrats Jay! I'm going to be honest, I have followed this thread for awhile now, check it every night. I have to say I teared up when I saw you and your dad take off. Great moment for you and your family. Cant wait for all the cosmetic videos. Have fun, boat on, and request that this thread become a sticky because you could answer any question someone has about fixing a boat in one thread.

Enjoy the rest of the summer, YOU DESERVE IT!

It won't be stickied but it will be copied and the copy cleaned up and put in the completed projects section as the excellent reference that it is. We can then link to it from the existing stickied How To's thread.

Congrats jay. Scipper77 already mentioned what I was going to on the tack.

As for the oil pressure, you may already know this but I'll throw it out there anyway. Typically you can not use a stock automotive sending unit. You need to get a sending unit for after market gauges. They work on a different ohm scale. Most marine gauges work on the same ohm range so any marine sending unit should work.

Congratulations Jay! You deserve the break, what a fine job on your boat, I can't imagine going through what you have the last 7+ months and then accomplishing such an enormous goal! No matter what we may have said or done to try and keep your motivation going I bet seeing your wife and kids smile at you this weekend made it all worth while!!

Rushed home from work to catch your video. Not my project, but it was still emotional for myself and everyone else. Thanks for taking all of us on your maiden voyage. Great job.

I'm sitting here watching your video with a big grin on my face. It's as if it were my boat...lol. I am truly excited for you. A lot of hard work and worry, but in the end, well, we all know. Excellent job, beautiful work, thanks for sharing this and your videos. A big Congrats from Nova Scotia, Canada.

Congratulations on a job very well done. Knocking out that much hard work in this heat deserves a king size man card.
