    Digging stumps

    Pic doesn't show it justice, but dug down another 2 foot all around with hoe. Then 955 broke it loose. Now need to see if it can lift it out. First try, it's not happening. Will see what happens with more thought

    New Boat Launch Ramp

    I like the looks of how it's starting. Going high so they can get more angle to drop in. Just hope they can keep it from filling back in over time

    Mercruisier 7.4 litre gas pressure

    If it's connected to the rear of the fuel rail then it's item 5 and is called a fuel Reg.

The Reg on...

    V/P Duo Prop. Would going from F5 to F6....

    You said BB and at 310 to 330HP I take it's a 454 (Merc or VP) and MPI or TBI? The spec for the boat with a 5.7 @ 280HP says it will do 48MPH and your only getting 36MPH, something is wrong. Either the motor is not producing the power or the drive ratio is to high

    V/P Duo Prop. Would going from F5 to F6....
