Thanks,I'm mostly in the Hudson but hit Sacandaga,Saratoga and (Lake George on rare occasions).What ya gonna do about those trim sender screws? That Sucks http://checkmate-boats.com/6/ws/,s,8626072361/Graemlins/irked.gif

[91 GTX]

GOING TO TRY AND GET THEM OUT IF I CANT I,LL DRILL AND TAP NEW ONES

[Eriktheviking]

Get yourself some quality bits to drill those little buggers out. I think you could go a little bigger on the screw if you had to. Good luck

[BOB'S 283]

eric,,,nope , the heads are the big deal . air flow research .cnc aluminum , beautiful pieces , were going to powder coat them clear . but decided to go with stock appearance.all mercury racing blue , just more braid . even keeping the hp500 air cleaner so far. everyone in the world knows its built though

[Eriktheviking]

How about some pics? Sounds like Jason has done his homework for ya.

[BOB'S 283]

jack boyd from mayfield built it . jason consulted . they have a good relationship . hoping i got the best . time will tell

[Eriktheviking]

The guy I got the other boat from had a 66 Nova SS with a Boyd 383 stroker in it.He was happy and had the burnout marks in his driveway to prove it!
