My question is, it looks like the lift is seated on the gunnel, how do you propose getting the engine out rather than just lifted up?

unless there is a gaping hole in the block, I dont see a reason to get it out of the boat....LOL But if I did, just sling it to a tree, lift it and drive the boat out from under it. It goes up plenty high enough to pull the pan and change pistons..LOL

Yes, not going for style points...LOL Just had to replace that piston that leaned out on me. I had it done and back in before anyone even had enough time to get their drunk on....LOL

I am being an idiot I can make whatever freakin exhaust I want. Hm....flipped up shorty headers, with custom pipes thru the transom. Also, could coil them and keep them water cooled.

Run stacks right up thru the cowl on 30* and they'll match the angle of the rod holders!!...

I see you have been tinkering again. Is that the same boat as before or a different one?

New EFI to boot. I get it. That is a better mouse trap than the Holley Projection I was telling you about. Leaned one hole out? Burnt a piston, WHAT? Predetonation? Carnage of this nature must be supported with pictures. It happens. Try to roll the timing back a few degrees when you hit the NOS. and for goodness sake don't find the limiter in the MSD box when you do. Rev limiter isn't as "soft-touch" as they indicate in the literature. Ask me how I know?
