And decided on this new look for the Cougar.
I broke EVERYTHING in the driveline running the blower and injection so I thought I would try something different. Prop shaft, prop, rudder and driveshaft all broke within 3 weeks due to too much HP. So I'm thinkin instead of upgrading all that stuff (buying again) it's all still new. I will tone the HP down a bit and just spin it 8,000 RPM.
So I give the engine a few more cubes, a bit more compression, new cyl heads, T&D shaft rockers to live at big RPM's and maybe the boat will survive.
Soo... I'm putting this thing together. Edelbrock tunnel ram and 2 Alcohol carbs I got cheap off of e-bay. Still fitting it up. Will look a bit different this year.
And NO I'm not selling the blower and injection.

Hmmmm, what are those funny little holes at the base of the runners? Hmmm kinda looks like nitrous provisions, but you wouldn't want to add any more HP, right? :idea:

LOL one of my local friends says "who you kiddin, just put the blower back on and save yourself some time"
Seriously though. I was gonna kill myself or my son. And I only had 4 races in three full seasons. Nobody would race unless they brought out their race boat. I'm thinkin I will have more fun lake racin even though it will be slower.
