Set to splash on Saturday!!
 

Thats right boys, she's gettin wet tomorrow. I installed a new bilge blower, and bought some trim cylinder bushings, topped off the gear oil and aired up the tires. Don't worry ladies, I'll get pics for ya ;D I ain't gonna get any sleep tonight.

Well I guess Frayed is out runnin' his "V" ... I sure would be!!...good luck w/ 'er this mornin' and hope yer comin' back w/some PIX!! ;D ;D ...

the weather in N.Y. has finally gotten more spring-like. I probably will uncover the V today,drop the batteries in and fire her up. However , I REALLY need to get out on the water so I'm takin the tin boat out for a spin and maybe hunt a few flatties. Water temps are still in the low/ mid 40's so I don't expect to be mohawkin any fish....at least I can say "I went fishin today" ;D

Nice boat, don't know about the FORD though ;D(GM man myself). Did you get it past 2500? Or just takin it easy to break it in?

Re: Set to splash on Saturday!!
 

OK, you don't talk crap about Ford, and I'll keep quiet about GM ;)

Yeah Ferm, just taking it easy for the first 5 hrs of use.

Re: Set to splash on Saturday!!
 

You said before you have a V-8 right? If so, how does it push the V?




And I'll leave the FORD out of it, Should have gotten a F-250 though(DIESEL!!!).

Re: Set to splash on Saturday!!
 

YEAH-YEAH-YEAH should coulda woulda. My next truck will be sportin a diesel for sure.

The 5.0L Mercruiser really gets the V going. I couldn't imagine going with anything smaller. I don't have first hand records of speeds yet, that will come after the break-in is complete.

Oh Ferm, don't tell any of the other Ford boys, but the V has a Chebbie engine in it ;)
