It looks good i also have a seaducer but it is only about 36 inches. Its a nitro and it run's it little but off. And this video is with a prop that is to small. Got a new prop and never tryed it as of today. Will try it soon hopefully.

lol. looks nice but this winter im taking on the task of polising my 26ft pontoon logs like that. what sucks though is i gotta re-do it a few times a year and thats a lot of insane surface area. looks great though. like a show piece engine.

If you get the color code off your door you can paint it to match exactly, Just order the paint from http://www.colorrite.com/ They match any auto or Motorcycle paint, I was going to paint my WHH boat the same color as my zx14 but it takes 3 differnt paints and a base coat, Was about $400.00 just in paint, A bit spendy just for paint. Nice truck, But you better sell it Chrysler is going to fold.

well heres the progress on the seadunker. tuff to install a clutch on one of these bad boys but everything is comming together nicely. tell me what you think. next is to cut the flex cable. then mount the water pump. i picked up a ceramic coated cc racing pipe with internal sting so i dont have to buy a muffler. the pipe is comming with a 100 degrees header and a no leak water flange. got the whole thing brand new for $120 off the dock.

Looks amazing my friend ! I am looking forward to seeing it run, I will Follow your build close, because i am thinking about the same boat. But i can't understand the guy at seducer boat's. Me from the east coast and him from south of the border, I think. Makes for a communication breakdown. Nice looking paint job ! Reminds me of the old jet boat i used to have back in the late seventys. Was the purple clutch housing something you already had or are you planning some purple in the boat ? Post a video if you can when it's running ! Looking forward to [X(]

Looks like one from Walmart's sporting goods section. I picked one up a few months back. They have two sizes that may work for you. I think I paid $6 for the small one.

finished the mounting brackets for the radio box. couldn't get to the flip lid so i made some handles to pull the box lid open. not alot of room to work with in this boat. mounted the water pump fabbed a bracket for that also and had to cut down some of the rail to make it fit. also cut the flex shaft and added the transom water inlet.

if you look in the earlier pictures you'll see i had to mount the grey coil on the rail because the cowl wasn't fitting good it was slightly hitting the coil. fine and dandy. after mounting it i checked for spark. no spark i'am saying no i need a new coil. @#$% then i said i bet it needs to be grounded. ran a groung from the coil to the engine block. bingo we have spark batman. so if you guys ever want to mount the coil on the rail now you know.

well pretty much finished with the build. added a quick fill so to fill the iv bag will be easy. the pipe on the boat is from my hurricane mono. but its the same pipe i'am going with except the other pipe is silver ceramic coated with a SS 100 degree header and no leak flange. all thats left to do is a external switch for the radio box cut the cowl and the mounting bracket for the tune pipe and she'll be on the water.
