Sean again in Phil's boat.

 

The cottage boat house

 

Sean and his 25 Eliminator

 

My toy.

 

Another shot, notice Phil's son's mini cat in the foreground. Matches his boat perfectly.

 

Tucked away for the night.

 

Doing about 70 in light rain, ouch!

 

Doug & Sandy's 29' Fountain, luckily New Ark had an impellor to fix the blown one.

Very lucky, almost lost 1 engine.

 

Forgot this guy's name (terrible with names).

Cool boat.

 

Doing about 75 infront of the marina, and a neighbour calls in a noise complant.

 

Sunset.

My favorite photo of the weekend.

Thanks again Sean & Phil.

Look forward to the next GTG.

Robert.

 

Pretty river and boats!

 

Nice meeting you Robert. Too bad the rain had to come and spoil things.
The "cool" boat is a TUFF 21 built by the driver, Mark Weigl, TUFF BOATS.

 

Thanks again Sean.
Great weekend, a bit of rain never killed anyone.
I am now a true cat fan (not the 4 legged kind). Awesome performance and dead flat cornering :eek3: , I might have to trade my Rinker as I have had the experience of these cats.

Be sure to thank Phil & family once again from myself. Damn rain, took off from hid place to fast to get to New Ark.,did not get his e-mail or yours either. Can you p.m. me with them.

After you took off, Doug and Sandy (Sandra?) wanted to cruise(rain stopped). We went to Bala & back with the guys, girl & dog in the Panther behind us. Lucky, the Fountain ran great. (they must have big horseshoes).

Grand Theft - Lake Muskoka is not a river. The shots are in a "channel" area between the one island and mainland.

I forgot, does double D in Orillia have a website?

 

Airpacker, are you with Double D? I got your reply to my thread on the other board, but don't know what you mean.

RWB1, every summer we tell ourselves we should make time to visit the Muskoka's. But it never materializes. Gonna have to try harder, nice looking water. Nice looking boats.

 

Actually, its Double R Performance and no, I am not "with" them. Raymond Roberts is just a good friend. I have my own automotive and marine businesses.

C Jeff, what I meant was to replace the 1.7 to 1 ratio rocker arms with 1.8 to one ratio rocker arms. Its like adding a little camshaft lift and duration. IE: if you have .600 gross lift with 1.7's, you end up with .635 gross lift with 1.8's. Add an adjustable fuel pressure reg and adjust pressure up as needed to compensate for the increased air flow. I did swap cyl heads too because mine were cracking all over the place(cheap castings from GM) and went with edlebrock marine rpm heads. I blue printed the combustion chambers to get a true 9:1 comp ratio as well as they were really all over the place from about 8.35 to 8.8 to 1.Still dialing in the fuel curve but there is a marked improvement in mid range pull If you have any questions, call me at my shop Jeff. (416)233-7552 mon to fri 8 to 6. Ask for Sean.

 

I'll wait and see if I gain with what I'm doing. I do believe the major limiting factor with these engines are the heads.
