Thats a idea, a pair of inlines on the back of a V, that would look cool. BTW, check with CDI, they have new wire harnesses for older engines

Pair, Inlines, Yes..
SSI makes some nice inset pieces for drink holders and such. Maybe not such a good spot for drink holders. 8" Pioneers are good speakers. If the picture of the harness is the new one, you win the sarchasm award for the week.

Yeah I actually found a site last night with some cool stuff..... I'll look at ssi too..... nah that's the old harness... the new one had an inspection sticker from 1998 but I suspect that it was NOS just installed very recently when they were trying to diagnose the no spark condition

Well today I've done a bunch of grinding..... I now have the top of the transom closed up and waterproof. ...... I need to figure out something to cap it with at some point to make it look nice but at least it's not gonna rot now. I also patched the old engine mount holes..... she'll almost float now!
jjj 010.jpgjjj 011.jpg still need a couple more coats of filled epoxy and some sanding....

It's a good feeling to have an unknown motor run that well and push you across the water like that!!...glad to hear she runnin' that good...now your task is to get everything you need installed and ready to fish...and consider weight on everything you do...try to keep as much weight down as you can...it'll help the 115 keep the zip...

Even though she's only 115 hp, remember that an inline 6 has a lot more torque than a V6 of the same displacement. Don't be afraid to experiment with different pitch props to find the one that's "just right" for your needs. You should do fairly well with her. Congrats on the short lived hull wetting, sounds like you're on the right track for some major fun.

she's running a beat up 17 pitch prop now.... I was using prop calculators and they were recommending 15 pitch.... honestly I was surprised how well she did with the 17
I think I had a float sticking in one of the carbs as at one point she seemed to be making about 2/3 of normal power for a few seconds but she still got on plane and then gained power..... I realize that a carb running lean can kill the engine FAST but this happened within just a few seconds....
