It so crazy how the loudest thing on a 600hp outboard at idle was the tell-tall stream hitting the water so they did away with it.

Lol that’s funny. I love playing 100 questions with my buddy over the design process of these engines. Last time he was up I think I peppered him for 3 hrs over the design of the v6 and v8 engines.
It’s absolutely awesome asking how and why they did what they did starting from a sheet of paper with some specs on it to buying a super large diecast press to full production of the engine.
He’s still working in the engine engineering department doing block stuff. I wouldn’t doubt they have more shit coming down the pipe!!

I've heard some interesting rumors. And the last few releases my source has been spot on. Lol

That's Smith Mtn Lake!! The pic with the mountain and the tower on it is right in front of my aunt's old house.
Boat's looking great. I spoke with your pops a while back about repowering my Grady. Ended up finding another OX66 to keep her going for a while. You have a guy down there who could sleeve an OX66 block? Looks like a stuck ring in #1 and that's all. New piston and a sleeve and it should be good. You recommend bearings too?

You nailed it! Loved that place and will definitely be going back. I'd send it to Macs Automotive in Kilmarnock. He does all my blocks.

I got it up to 73 Sunday with 2 people. Couldn't get it up on the pad and prop wouldn't keep the bow up. Still have a lot of set-up to do with the boat and some driving skill to work on.
Should easily be a 80mph boat
This entire thread gives me anxiety. This is all way too fast on water for my little nutsack.I got it up to 73 Sunday with 2 people. Couldn't get it up on the pad and prop wouldn't keep the bow up. Still have a lot of set-up to do with the boat and some driving skill to work on.

But this new boat--fuck this new boat in particular.

What's it revving? Sounds about 5700, is it a setback issue or are you pitched too high, numerically, to let it sing. Speedmaster case? Could be nose cone drag that wont let it free

Is there a better irate thread to consider “the boat thread”? Sorry for the thread-jack.
Semi local, semi trashed hydrostream Vector came up, price just went down to a grand for boat and trailer. No one came to look when it was at 2k. Transom claimed to be rebuilt, looks more like reinforced and probably trashed. No interior. Probably junk 115 with probably junk controls. Worth a 2.5 hour trip? If I could get it for a song I think yes. If it’s a semi firm 1000 I’m thinking no.
Curious your opinions having recently touched old junk. This needs a refinish way worse than yours did lol.

Ahhhh so where we at..... Got the wifes boat together finally. running mid 40s with 0 set up and a guess on the prop. I think she's got 50 in her with some setup work but the wife is happy where it is. I am too with a $1200 total investment.
Reason i finally had to put it together is the old C-Hawk had a rough trip to the Lake this year.... 1st a poplar tree about 3' in diameter tried to take it out while tied to the dock.
Then the floor (that I've known was rotten since I bought it) finally decided it was done done. Got separation at the transom and a hole so its coming apart and will get new floor, stringers, tank, and maybe transom this winter. Going to use Coosa. Think Ill probably drop 800ish lbs.
