Well Jeff i can relate,,i used to get mad cause people took so long,but i totally understand why it takes so long! people change the project along the way,other things come up! And there is only so much time in the day. i was ask here at work why i just didnt go to the parts store and buy the stuff i need? LOL well most of it is hand made,not like you can just go pick it up. crazy.gif Yea it takes a crazy amount of time,,,but your ride is gonna be way worth it my friend!TexasJet said:

You are correct, it's the extras that come up along the way that end up taking so much extra time, and $$$$$$. Joe figured all the water and oil lines were to small for this size motor. Sooo, all new fittings and stainless hose. Cha-ching!!!!!
You really can't build something like this on a budget. It just seems to grow and grow. It's the reason I keep working and not retire.
Talked to him this morning, wiring is done. Working on the plumbing. I know he wants it out of his shop.
It will be interesting to see what the final price is on this project.

This is a true story.
My wife and I was once talking to some people that my wife worked with, and they knew I was working on the boat.
One of them said, "How much did it cost to build an engine like that"?
I gave them a number that I thought was about right.
My wife quickly said, "you've got more than that in it."
The morel of this story -- "THE WIVES KNOW MORE THAN WE THINK THEY KNOW"

IT'S ALIVE!!!!! NASTY BOY is up and running. jump.gif OMG!!!!!!!! It is so much quicker than the old motor. And LOUDER, like past 4000 rpm I need ear plugs. I'm serious. I have the slip in high po silencers and they work up until 4000 rpm. After that it gets loud enough to hurt. I went to Somerville yesterday. Kuntz, Mike and a few others showed up with their boats. Black was there also.
Nasty Boy ran flawlessly. We just had to set the timing and adjust the fuel pressure. Ran great all day. What a blower surge, 900rpm then surge up to 2000, then back to 900. Over and over. You can feel the boat lunge when it surges to 2000 rpm.
All in all it was a perfect day. Can't wait for Bay City and Jet Fest.
