I use Zoro for business purposes frequently. Where McMaster supplies name brand top of the line merchandise without necessarily specifying the brand they are supplying, Zoro calls out exactly by brand what the are supplying. If you call McMaster and request what they are supplying they will tell...

Just run the Wax V3 curve.

I went back and edited my original post, my flush enters a tee on the front port of the exhaust manifold cooling inlet, not the head. With 4 head pissers and where you’re teeing in your not going to see a lot out of the head pissers, but you’re still flushing out thru the inlets at the pump.

X2 on flushing thru the pissers. On my 61X FS1 I used a bulkhead shut off plumbed to a tee on the front port on bottom of exhaust manifold: Or you can use open non-valved bulkhead disconnects for pissers and flush thru them: It's not critical where you tap in the starting point for the...

X2 on Vacuum test AND pressure test ! Always give the motor a Push/Pull test !

The stuff I'm running for pulse lines is rubber vacuum line I use at work for testing mechanical seals. Have it on a roll, don't even remember where I got it..... It's the same stuff I vacuum tested the motor with. Stays rigid and doesn't collapse even under a perfect vacuum. And pretty...

Thanks for reading! I’m old school and just a coincidence, I’m old, luv build threads. More enjoyable to read build threads than it is posting them, lol.

Quick write up on that fuel line. I always thought the OEM gray stuff was best and when I was collecting FX1's I had collected a rather large box of it for builds, all of it take off's. Last time I grabbed that box most of it would crack when giving it the fold test, so that box went in the...

Thanks !!! Don't know if you remember, when I first asked you about a hull I wanted a 2x2 twill visual carbon weave. I had to make turf match the Game Changer visual lay up!

Many De Nadas CD! Posting is kind of a pia, though luv having the record of what was done as reference for any possible future sale. Kinda sucks with Tony’s recent announcement that Tigercraft builds from kits may be a thing of the past.

Big thanks!

As far as the weight, if I were building this boat as a competition boat, with ZERO effort the weight could've been under 235#'s just by forgoing the epoxy finish on all the surfaces, no bulkhead or bond line reinforcement, no bilge, no cable sleeving, no PFP to Bun adapting plate for the water...

And the answer to the BIG question....DRY,

Ties on the fuel lines and snap in the breather hoses........and I think that about covers it for this build.

More drilling AND more epoxy !!! Just what I want to hear guys, lol ! Only kidding, taken under advisement, just want to ride it for now ! Yeah, running that battery WITH charging system for now Jordan, O2T Zeel and wheel from the 898.
