Default Re: Skools first redo project in watercraft

handles great, I've since changed the fuel tank from the stock 3 gal pictured to a WestCoast 6.5 gal, that made it handle so much better with the added nose weight. Helps hold the monster in the water. it has so much compression and larger carb that the motor loafs in idle up till it's mid rpms. sounds like a cam in a 2 stroke lol. went from stock 90 psi per cyl. to 220 psi per cyl. and from a 38 MM carb to a 46 MM carb. and a MSD Hot Box. Had to have the crank welded and trued to handle the power. She handles great even at 65+ MPH. I can't hold it wide open it gets to fast then starts jumping out of the water to much.
