Where you get that carby isolator from Steve?????

It doesn't look like a zen clone one...????

One thing, turn the top plate on the carby around so that the hole is at the lowest point. Stops water from gathering in side the cover.

STEVE MARSHALL

Not for a while yet Mart, I just put everything in the boat and put it on the scales and it came in at 11lb, does that sound about rite.

martno1fan

Sounds good that mate,the last one i did of mine with a weedy came in at 12 1/2 lb so similar size hull lighter motor id say your about right.
Mart

STEVE MARSHALL

OK Ross, thanks for the loan of the carb isolator, its about 5mm shorter than the cloan one.

STEVE MARSHALL

Well I thought it was time I brushed the cobwebs off this project and carry on with it, set the motor today (C/G 30%) it's tight to get at the mount bolts at the front but it should be ok. Also trimed a bit more glass around the carb and header, might need a bit more fir the carb so I can get my bat fingers down there to choke it. Next is the flex tube support. Also got myself another to on it's way, should see it Monday or Tuesday. http://powerslideracing.com.au/index...oducts_id=2419

martno1fan

His Steve good to see you back on the case lol.For a tube support just use some ply with a slot in it fixed between the rails.
Mart

STEVE MARSHALL

Yea I was thinking along thoes lines too, nice and simple.

martno1fan

Yea and it works fine,just slot it over the rails or epoxy it in .

bentley marshall

looking good bro ...

benckie

Nice work Steve its comming along nicly, i like the stringer drive i think it will be alot easyer to adjust then the sliding struts i recon that thing will fly

STEVE MARSHALL

Had a bit of time on my hands so the boat got stripped out and a splash of paint, It will come up alot better with a wet sand and a coat of clear.

nooh

Oi Steve.

Long time no c... This boat has been around a Bit and had a few Colors You gunner stick with the Green ??????? , Must admit will look good with some Clear over it.

Take care m8.. Henry. ( Merry Christmas for when ever it was too m8.. lol..)

apache 56

so steve mate when are you goin to hit the lake with it. now you can spent time where you like ...

noahdear

My Feedback: (2)

I fished one out of the Brisbane River and use it for my car spares. Do you think they might want it back?

STEVE MARSHALL

Hey henry, yes it's been a while between drinks, When I went to Repco on xmas eve this was the best colour they had, it will look good with the clear on, too hot to do much here, hit 40.2deg out the back an hour ago, so been watching vids with the young bloke.

Hey Mark, settle petal, soooon I will come and play.

Steve

STEVE MARSHALL

Lookin' good there Stevo.

You have been a busy guy indeed.

Me, well, I finally made it back from the bush late Xmas eve (luckily or I would've been hung, drawn and quartered).

I now have the workshop powered and lit like a xmas tree so I am good to get building again.....................I've got a million projects to catch up on now..........................let the building begin. Just didn't pick the right day to do it (yesterday @ 40*C wasnt friendly at all)

If I don't catch you beforehand, have a great new years mate (and you too Ross....................apologies I missed your text @xmas, only just turned the phone on the other arvo and promptly switched her off again as I needed a well earned break)

Stay safe gents

Johno

STEVE MARSHALL

Thanks Johnno, Good to see you got back for xmas with the kids. i will have to come around and check out the new shed and projects sometime soon.
Got the wet sanding done today and a can (small) of clear on the top and sides. i will let it harden up for 5-7 days(says on the can) and give it a buff, should come up real nice.

Macleod

Hmmmmm....Green........ Going to be good finding that in the weeds when you do a peter in the weeds trick....

Steve sounds like a road trip to Johnos workshop for the grand opening real soon.....Hey Johno ?????...... I showed you my workshop and after how many years has it been, I've never seen your old workshop....[&o].

How much more you got to do to the mono Steve.? I will come around soon to look it over.

STEVE MARSHALL

Yep green again, mmmmm should I put the flowers back on?????????????????????????? I think not. Road trip to johnno's, thats a good idea, shame it's only 15 min away, I will have to drink fast.
ended up getting new engine mounts and a twin water pickup rudder off Collin, the mounts will be easer to get the motor in and out.

martno1fan

Boat looks good Steve i like the green .
Mart

nooh

Oi Steve

With 40degree Heat over in WA m8 Think your clear would be as hard as a rock in 24hours I just started putting the Clear on my New Boat as well
Started on the cowl before I did the hull just to make sure, Im no great painter m8, So still learning, But your Boat looks good m8.

Henry.

Squidhead Racing

Sure, we can do that once I am all settled we can have a snappy "rigger building partaaaaaaaaaaaaay"

Times are a changing, resigned from the current job this morning and moving onto different things that "should" enable me to get building again and even get pondside. A sacrifice on the pay scale (small), but that will be offset by being able to spend time with the boys (and in the shed) which is more important to me. Money isnt everything in this work, quality of life is now a big priority. Been an average 18mths with everything, but the new career should see me at home more and building

More soon

Johno

STEVE MARSHALL

not alot to report, been too hot, hitting 38-40 for the last few days. just got the inside painted.
