    Re: Generac

    still got a lot to tune... got to get it back on the boat... remake the exhaust that you had made for me so it will fit the Generac... get the prop right... then test it for a few weeks... break it back down and modify the engine stand for the Generac instead of the Briggs...

    Mike and I both will be at a ride together in S. LA and the end of July so he will get his feel of my boat before he starts work on his... I am sure he is gonna start pushing the Generac just the way we have been talking the over the last month...

    Time will tell though...

    Re: Generac

    Best picture I have of it... I am going to have to bend the top of the tubes just below the 90s in.... the Generac cylinders are closer together than the Briggs.. and will have to change flanges...

    I got to get one of those hulls I really like them

  13. #33

    Re: Generac

    well that one right there is for sale... hull that is... built at of .100 all over and 4 2x1 T-bars.... it was a little to light for my needs... it flexed a little much... my old hull would make a good water/soft mud ride hull but for jumping land and taking a wake not strong enough...

    Re: Generac

    What thickness did you go with on your new one

  15. #35

    Re: Generac

    .125 all over with 1/4" poly... heavy but still could run 35mph WOT with the old Briggs... takes a wake beautifully with non to little flex and can hop a few 100' of marsh without fear.

    Re: Generac

    Re: Generac

    well motor was cranked tonight for its break in... letting the ring seat and everything get oiled up with break in lube.... probably going to pick it up and the boat and start doing the final touches to put it back together....

    fyi.... this is the second strongest motor built at that shop.... i am excited and can't wait to get it all in the water.

    Re: Generac

    Well exciting day.... picked up the new motor and brought the boat back over the American Airboats.... maybe next week or the week after I will be swinging a Whirlwind 3-Blade Mini Prop behind a 1037cc Extreme Generac....
