talked to piedmont and they recommended this or something similar to starboard. Now if the dude would call me back with pricing and color availability.

So I removed the side panels from the gunnel to the floor from the boat to run new bilge hoses. They are, as best I can describe, a plastic covered plywood. Maybe 1/8 of an inch think. The bottom is starting to determinate and while they are out, I am debating on replacing, trimming, or painting the...

living in New Orleans, we just turned the convention center in to a hospital. If you have ever been to that building, you would know it is one of the largest convention centers in the USA. It is over 1.1 million square feet. We are not at point of need for it yet, but we are close. In the US, I thin...

ford351c594

Fantastic and thanks for the pics. I will reevaluate it when I can get back to the boat........ Probably going to run to the shop later this week to make the struts and then I'll start with new bilge bumps and installing the new aluminum fuel tank....... Then I can start the new engines from 2.5 yea...

Thats great Tommy. They are awesome trucks. That is the correct part Im taking about. The small build up around the exhaust. On the right side it has zero strength. I barley tighten it and it collapsed. The left side solid as as can be. It doesn't look or seem important, but wanted to make sure. its...

Good morning. its been a while. I have finally recovered from yet another knee surgery and slow started putting boat back together.... made new struts and mounts and rebuilt the swim deck. When I attached the starboard side the corner just collapsed. The port side was strong as can be. Is this a Ber...

thank you. that is a great help!

ford351c594

mine are top mount GM style? They are brand new but sticking.... you know from being used about little as possible over the past 2 years...... So I was going to replace them and or have them rebuilt. I can't find any number on them to cross reference them however, so are they all the same minus reve...

Good luck with zero oil change under normal conditions. But then again the dealer makes a bigger profit off a new gear box than an oil change. 100% that it is very weird to not change the oil till then. Some dealers would build their own maintenance scheduled maintenance programs to "help" the cust...

hey tommy. I worked for Ford for over 16 years. Probably still would be if it were not for my 7th and 8th knee surgery. I served on Fords TRP panel as well, which is what they called the top 25 techs in the nation. Fords newer line of transmission are very stout. Your truck should have a 6R80 which ...

mine is in the forward locker just in front of the bench, along with my on board vacuum cleaner. That sounds much fancier than it really it... it is just a wet dry vac plumbed in with a nozzle fitting.

ford351c594

There is one for sale right by me for years. I think I posted it on here a while ago. It sank in Hurricane Katrina, and needs to be completely redone?

I thought about using that on my cabin door. I also love the fact he is wearing a hard hat to do the table.

Not sure if the area materials is the same as what they use on cars to create an "Invisible bra" to protect from stone nicks. If it is the same stuff I would say they if used on the hull it should be replaced every 5 years or so. We removed an invisible bra from our car end had to paint the hood. I...

ford351c594

There is a lot of wrapping going on in the auto industry. Some have been done and look good. Others look cheap and gaudy. I haven't seen anything past a couple of years that isn't starting to peel somewhere. definitely on hard edges, I also find a lot of people are fly by night on this stuff. There...

ford351c594

So with today's quality of "wraps" has anyone contemplated wrapping the interior to make it look more modern. Some are designed to last 10 years in direct sunlight, so inside I would think hold up pretty well. https://www.rvinyl.com/Wood-Vinyl-Wraps That is an example of some cheap stuff and it look...

pretty much all of what Bruce just said for sure. From experience with GM and quadrajets, 1) quadrajets are terrible, never over look ,even on remanded one, an internal leak causing a massive engine fuel flooding event especially hot. I don't think you can still get a new one, only remanded units. T...

ford351c594

is there another version of that on some velvet drives Bruce? I remember anything like that on the side and the starboard definitely goes in a distinctive neutral feel, however it is pretty light as well. I will check it out for sure tomorrow weather permitting.

ford351c594

So, busting it to try to get boat back in the water by middle of August and its not looking good. On port engine I can't find neutral by feel. Like a bad detent or cable? It moves smoothly so I don't think its the cable. So is there a detent on the velvet drives, where is it, and does anyone have pa...

ford351c594

Rob, I thought about center risers when I repowered my 28, and found I did not have enough clearance under the hatch for them. Because of the angle of the engines the further forward you go the closer to the hatch--that's why the heat exchanger is mounted on the aft end. I just did this with my rep...

I blame the last 30 years of telling kids if you don't have a degree you can't make a living. Not enough blue colors left to do it.

It's funny, an engine is an engine, is an engine. Unfortunately as as I knew then and experience now trying to find qualified techs for the custom car industry I am in now, most techs are one trick ponies. While they claim to be multi certified, a quick aptitude test finds out that's a myth. I love...

ford351c594

you can look for my post on new motors. I used 383's, all forged internals and no chains. cost me 11.5 ish for both. White Brothers.

ford351c594

So I am back from yet another surgery and I have had the new fuel tank made, the floors over the engine raised 3 inches so I can now close the covers and I am thinking about getting rid of the latter and just installing the step on the side? Anyone still make that or made one on their own? Pictures ...

I'm going to just ask a crazy question on this subject.... anyone ever run international 7.3 marine engines.... I didn't know they existed till I saw a pair for sale on craigslist the other day...... being a ford guy the thought of having 7.3's in my boat sound ungodly reliable.... but what works in...

for what it is worth I had custom engines built by white brothers in Tennessee and couldn't get the performance ignition to run the motors on the dyno either. Switched them back to GM HEI's and ran perfect. I even called MSD and tried all 3 of their wiring methods for different GM set ups. The would...

I am actually very very glad I read all of this. After working for Ford for over 15 years, I can 100% say I would never own an engine with a timing belt. We did away with all of ours several years ago for several reasons. First and for most is the cost of ownership. If it is a drive belt it will nee...

I didn't think the VC performance with Teflon had anti fouling properties. I also had my Vivid sprayed. Completely smooth. Trailers now for 4 (?) Seasons hauling close to 1000 miles each year. No issues. When left in water for a few weeks at a time, a soft deck brush will remove any water / scum li...

ford351c594

Ryan- In my experience it held up well with trailering and multiple launchings over 3+ seasons. We did fuss with the hull preparation and applied it by spraying three heavy coats. Good luck- Stephan called them today. They said it is very hard paint. The reggata and the VC offshore are both very ea...

ford351c594

is that trailerable?

I can't find that info anywhere on the website. I can try to call tomorrow.

ford351c594

some food for thought, 1 hour of usage is considered 33 miles at a normal usage. Extreme duty is considered 25 miles after 1 hour. Being as it is a boat I would consider every hour the equal of 20 to 25 miles of wear similar to a car or truck. You can interchange this into the standard life of an en...

Do a search and see what Kevin used on his 28. It is on a lift. Unfortunately he lives in the Keys so he is tied up and not monitoring otherwise I am sure he would jump in. he used VC performance. I am pretty sure it used to be available in black, but apparently not any longer. I like the product b...

ford351c594

So im looking for something like VC performance in black. Epoxy Teflon combo hard, doesn't need any anti fouling capabilities. Any one have any ideas? Has to be trailerable. I thought they made VC performance in black, but it says it is only available in white. I had my boat blasted 3 weeks ago and ...

ford351c594

I know they are pretty rare, but I may be able to get one right now, so that is why I am asking.......

ford351c594

How many were made and what would the value of one be in moderately poor shape? Nothing rotten, no engines, original out drives.

ford351c594

I have no personal experience with them, but my Dentist has twin Mann's in his Hatty and he absolutely loves them. I do recall him saying they are very very low rpm motors however. Sorry not of more help.

ford351c594

I would have to assume if it does exist between the engines? Can't see it fitting any place else? Anyone have some pictures? I have the chance to pic up a nice northstar right now for just a few hundred bucks. Guy said it ran fine about a year ago but can't get it started now.

ford351c594

yep, I pull that pick up out the back of the tank and take a very good look inside. Could tell you a lot. I am currently having a tank for mine made for about the last 4 weeks.
