[cyclone]

ist run will likely be saturday or sunday. got a few more odds and ends to tie up like the steering, installing the impeller/wear ring, shifter cable, place diverter cable, pop-off accessories etc. the list keeps growing the longer i stare at the boat. I took some pics and video today that I'll put up in the morning.

[Big Proppa]

Way to go cyclone - you would have loved to run it at big river this weekend, about 85 degrees chrystal clear, and the river was up at about 9:00A.M and sofa king smooth - and not a friggin boat in sight
Mexrunner -

I got a question and no flaming is intended here. why is it with all that polished and blingtastic glitter on your engine did you use uncoated carbon steel bolts for the blower? If nothing else painting the heads on them would clean it up....I personally ran alot of stainless on my boat but then I am not bolting into aluminum either :2purples:
I think it would really clean up the look of your engine if you hit them bolts with some rattle can paint (aluminum color)......like I said just an observation and no offense intended.

[cyclone]

the bolts rusted when the my old boat was stored outdoors. even with a cover on it they rusted during a rainstorm. changing them out hasnt been a priority but i agree they look like crap. If i have time before FC i'll fix em up properly.

Hey I see that deck boat I want in the background! Hey Mike looks great!

[Taylorman]

Dude that boat rocks. Have you considered ARP stainless head bolts. I have them on my engine but i don't have nearly the power you do. Not sure if that would be a consideration or not.

stainless and aluminum do not mix well. even with anti-seeze it can become nasty. don't know why just the nature of the beast.....been there done that :messedup:
Now I have been known to poke a carbon steel bolt in some cardboard and hit it with some rattle can paint. makes for a pretty clean appearance. although with the quality of hardware cyclone has he would probably just have them powdercoated or something cheap like that.....lol :idea: :supp:

True, i knew that but forgot when i spoke.

Omega, I would give him the most shit you can about those bolts... I do! They really look like crap, and I make a point to let Cyclone know that when ever I see him :supp: I know's he's going to fix them... I just like giving him shit about them...
Hey Cyclone, nice photos!
HBjet

[OMEGA_BUBBLE_JET]

cyclone.......you should be ashamed to call your self the editor of ***boat with a backwards ass rigged up looking shitbox of an engine like that. Hell even my lawnmower bolts aren't rusted like that. Worst of all....you go posting pics all over the internet like showing off pics of your fat girlfriend.......sheesh what the hell is this world coming to??????

that's pretty good from somebody that ain't even been on a rope yet.... ;) are you still just the s&*t talkin crew boy????? or maybe gonna put your OWN deal out there :D :D :D :D
i hope they don't line up 'til they find theirselfs on the rope again... it'll be interesting to see how well the new boat does... or maybe someone would rather not see how well the new boat does?????

[cyclone]

now bob slow down there mr. big time racer guy. Dont try to bully Randy into racing his boat at Ming because if he does then I lose my large pit crew of one. That can't happen with the may race just weeks away.
