    Engine choice

    that drive will only match the ford 2.3 liter. the gears are too small for anything larger than a 3.0 liter. I would not ever ever ever consider a cobra drive from behind a 2.3 unless I needed a different drive for a 2.3 find a good mercruiser 5.7 or larger with an alpha or bravo and swap or...

    Did you ever wonder?

    I agree its a bit rude. however all the forums I belong to are full of one-hit-wonders. I myself have less than 50 hits on a few forums, mainly because that project/vehicle/toy/etc was sold. most likely they fall into one of 5 categories They are young people with their cell phones and the...

    Cybertruck

    Here is my take...... the skin is low-grade 300 series stainless. most likely 302 or 304 (they just call it 300 series). bird droppings and falling leaves will leave staining just like DMC did on the delorean when they were launched with 304 and later switched to 316. Tesla is NOT using 316L...

    I usually just dropped on a lower pitch prop and idled the main motor when trolling. I could maintain 1.1 to 1.3mph trolling for walleye with the 15p, and ~2mph with the 17p
