Nice looking Mike. Sorry I missed you the other day I was at luch with Acceptence and Bobby. Just outta curiosity, how far off the transom is your engine??.

[Moneypitt]

It looks as though the puke lines are capped off. Are you running a pan evac system the pics don't show?............MP

[Snowboat]

I think the hoses are a work in progress.

[ColeTR2]

Thanks guys
Sweet set up. How long is that coupler?
It’s 3” and has a safety collar on each end. I like the solid drive shaft! It went together very simple.
Very NIce :D :D , did you do anything to the motor before you dropped it in.
All I did was change the rod bearings and did a leak down. I put the motor together myself, and it has seven years on it. I have to say hats off to Phaff on the machine work, the bearings looked like new.
Why change from a tr1 to a tr2? also just one seat?
When I first got my TR1 I took it to Cole’s shop and Jim Cole was there. I thought it was a TR2 and he was the one that told me that it was a TR1. He asked me what I was going to do with the boat. I told him that I was going to river race it. His response was (that is the perfect boat for that) and said it was safer than a TR2 because it had more rocker in it and was heavy. Then he said don’t put a lot of power in it like a big blown motor you will blow it over. That has all ways been in the back of my mind. So I’m done river racing up and down the Parker Strip. With the noise problem I don’t what to be a criminal. And my new TR2 was build as a Blown Gas Flat and is made for what I’m going to do with it. I do have a second seat for it. :)
Is it me or am I seeing no whirl away?
The Lenco works like a whirl away I don’t know how. I hear it’s very safe.
Just outta curiosity, how far off the transom is your engine??.
36” The boat from new was a BGF and is all set-up. It didn’t ever have CF numbers on it in tell last year. Richard said the boat sat for 13 years. It is a 1983.
It looks as though the puke lines are capped off. Are you running a pan evac system the pics don't show?............MP

Showboat got it!! I’m still working on the lines, it will have a pan evac system on it.

I only ran it about a mile. It was just a shake down run I didn’t go over 50. I need to get confident with it before I lay down a full pass. But from the way it felt, I can tell that will happen soon. :) It did feel different! My new TR2 felt heavier then my TR1 but I know it’s not. :confused:

[dmontzsta]

That thing is looking bitchen! I bet it is going to haul some serious ass, two of them. haha
I think your old boat is for sale again down here in LA.
