[VID] Boat is running and ready for the water

[DJ_Critterus]

Here's the port engine running. I didn't think to get video of the starboard engine but both are running great and start up easily. It's officially ready for the water and will be in its natural habitat after work.

Screw that. It has to hit the gas pump before the first trip. I've only got about 100 gallons in her right now betweent he two rear tanks and want to put some in the front tanks to even out the weight distribution a bit. :lol:

Next time I'm near your area, I'll gladly chip in for gas!

No bikini, though........:party:

Thank you...for both reasons. I'm always looking for a reason to get out on the water :cheers:

Good to see the hammer. Always useful on a boat. :Jeff '79:

Yea load the front down so it can't get on plane, or turn for that matter, you want the weight towards the back for handling

each freshwater intake for the motors has a valve on it. I have to close it off to hook the hose up to the boat and flush the motors. If not, the water goes in and pours out of the bottom of the hull. My arms also aren't long enough to reach down there to them valve handles with the seating installed so it makes it easier to open/close the valves :yesnod:

Other than that, I like hammers. Reminds me of me....hammered. :lol:

It'll be fine.

See, what had happened was I was getting the boat ready for the water. Had it on the trailer hooked up to water with both engines running. Perfect. All was good and then I turn the wheel to make sure the power steering system works. All was fine but after a few seconds the port side ps cylinder blew one of its seals. Looks like it's time to suck it up and buy a new set of cylinders and mounts for this boat.
