Status: offline 		Ok so I found a pair of K & B .67 engines the first just arrived and I don't see how I can move the exhaust to the front other than creative plumbing.  2. Where do i find the magical mufflers? and last question, a while back I saw a dumas scarab miami vice version that had a pair of ops .60 and both exhausts went right into a manifold that was at the inside top of the transom and 4 exhaust pipes came out of the rear of the manifold and through the transom  is there a way to make a set up like that work.
appreciate the input
Chris

This one is going to Florida. I have it all packaged and will take it to FedEx. Funny thing about the shipping is with the custom box it is $47.01 to ship. Just under 30 LBS
I guess it really pays to have a Fedex account.

Status: offline 		I already ordered the x457 props which should be showing up anytime now, but i do like those three blades, in going from a two to three blade all things equal do you go larger or smaller on a three blade.. I took a less bleary eyed look at the steering setup today and tore it back out, I went by the tempate that came with the hull to cut the steering holes in the transom, which now seem too low so I redilled them so they are even with the axis of the outdrives hopefully that will solve the problem. if not i'lll post some pics. was  just really frustrated after having to fab one of the trim levers then realizing after I shimmed the outdrive that they would not work because the previous owner had added ply material to the transom which made it too thick so then I made new a whole new set up to trim them.    It has beeen a comedy of errors. but enjoyable.
thanks chris

Status: offline 		your welcome for the stickers, Thanks for all the advice. I raised the steering linkage thru the transom and that fixed the trim issues. finishing up water and nitro lines should be ready to fire up next week or so. What fluid do you use in the outdrive?
