    1966 MFG Rebuild

    I did it both ways, gravity helped but when you'd get the top out, the edges would pull and vice-versa. The best was going down 8 inches on each side, the weight kept it good enough like that.

    1966 MFG Rebuild

    I routered the tops of my stringers on my project as well. It was still a chore to get the 1708 to lay over a rounded 3/4 sheet. Mind you in most places, my original stringers weren't capped and the deck just stapled to them. Anything is better than that.

    Mercruiser 170/470 gear Ratio

    If still intact, you could also pop the top cap on the drive and count the teeth of the gear set and figure it out that way.

    cooking

    When I make beer brats I toss it in the mix instead of boiling or the like. I've had issues with stronger alcohols not cooking out as nicely so you do have to play around with it. Used a lot of test patties for that recipie.

    Just pulled one of the last Hawaiian and one of the last buffalo chicken sausages from the freezer. I'll do another batch in February.

    How do you like the collagen? I've only worked with natural casings but have been wanting to try.

    Using poly resin without glass

    I will preface this with the fact that I am not a professional and this is just based on what I've read and seen others do any my own limited experience working with the stuff... I don't see a major issue with it... I would just do a so called "primer" coat.... The only issue I think you can...

    My 84 4winns horizon 195 project.

    One thing I thought about... I have no capacity plate on the boat. Never had one as long as we had it. I'm going to have to reach out to get the exact specs and see if I can get one made.

    Please be safe and don't forget to use your venting blower when fueling.

    While mostly true, I still haven't been told how this one happened. (not a drop spilled by the way and luckily just a fire, no boom) Fire

    Rain needed

    We're also pumped storage so we typically benefit more from the short shots we got. We pumped up about 300 million gallons.

    Tinkering on the 4.3l this winter...

    One other thing noted I'd have to check... the 4.3 pushrod slots look like they could get pretty tight if I increase the ratio.... Might need to clearance them a tad if I end up using the 1.6 rockers....

    Tinkering on the 4.3l this winter...

    I actually thumbed through tailgunners threads not long before posting this. The hotrodders one seemed to go off on tangent but the iboats one was pretty good though had some gaps. I think somewhere I have a box of the offset keepers for a vortec as well if that does become an issue. But I...

    My 84 4winns horizon 195 project.

    Mine is as well lol. Done in 2003 and still looks new. Mine also suggested it to dad but the snaps were already there.

    My 84 4winns horizon 195 project.

    Taylor allegedly claims my trim is NLA is the problem. I took pictures a while ago and reached out and that was their response. I am hoping to take some measurements and find something close enough so I don't have to care as much... The other issue is the black spacers that hold the glass in the...

    My 84 4winns horizon 195 project.

    So I've started planning phase 2.... Couple of things on the punch list though some I may make a new thread for just for some better opinions... Also, since we had the photo glitch I may go through and do a condensed version of this thread with all the photos in the right place incase it helps...

    Can not stop wanting a Butterball Turkey.

    True. But poultry can be weird mainly due to more questionable handling during slaughter and processing when compared to say beef. Though you can get chicken sashimi... I'd pray they handle it right though and I'd never try it.

    Can not stop wanting a Butterball Turkey.

    I just do water, but we also have a certified lab and play with a whole bunch of things as far as testing...
