And because everyone likes pics...
Freshly rebuilt carbs!
This is what happens when you get angry at your exhaust and the riser wont budge from the manifold.
Here's a pic of one of my heads out of the "bag"
The twins in hibernation. Can't wait to get some fresh paint on these girls.
And a final view from below...

And I thought having one torn down in the bilge was bad. Your rebuild is looking good! It won't be long and she'll be purring again.

Best decision I ever made was installing two marine Carter Rotary Vane Electric Fuel Pumps. At 72 gallons per hour at 4-5psi, the Crusaders I had them on could get more gas to the carbs per second than I could afford to give them.

Just make sure if you install a electric pump to wire it through a safety switch ( normally a oil press switch )

Engines look great... The pumps can't be rebuilt, I would just replace them. I prefer the original diagram pumps vs. electric because it's one less electrical thing to think about. Plus they last for 20+ years. The electric pumps do start faster though, no priming. I only notice that if the boat sits for more than a week.

the not starting right away is a benefit, as it allows oil pressure to better build up within the connecting rod and main bearings as well as the cam bearings.
this should be viewed as a GOOD THING.

Thanks everyone.
On a side note, can i sand the hull to remove the stripes and then compound the heck out of it? Has anyone done that?

Re: Planning My Haul Out and Motor Pull (Update: Motors are out with Pics)
I went to the boat for the first time since fall and was greeted by this strange sight...
upon further review, I've got a fuel issue. Its in the bilge!
I called Bob up and he said its not likely that the tank itself is leaking and it may have come through the fuel line or vent line. I haven't removed the shrink wrap yet and the fumes were really bad so I didnt investigate very much. I'll be back tomorrow to hopefully find out some additional info. This is not what i was looking to find!
Any tips for the fuel clean up? The boats at my buddies house so I dont have to fear the DEC showing up quite yet...and there's not a curmudgeonly old man to yell at me about this. Of course i dont want to spill more fuel, but i have to find the source before I can stop it.

Also it shoudl be said that the back corner of the tank is wet with fuel on the underside. the boat seems to be titled a litle to the port, so maybe it ran down the backside of the tank from the top and that's why its wet back there. Or maybe there is a leak...

Check your fuel fill and vent hoses. If the leak came from there, they will show signs of wetness and or cracking. If they are tight and no signs of a leak, start looking for capillary action on the sides and bottom. The other area would be the tank welds.

The vent hose appeared to be pretty crappy. It was deteriorating. I didn't verify if it was clogged or not because the fumes were a little much. I'll get back into it soon to clean it up and replace those.

Before I replaced mine on my 32' Chris Craft, the vent hose and fill would seep if full. I knew I was replacing so it just sped up the process.

Re: Planning My Haul Out and Motor Pull (Update: Motors are out with Pics)
first off remember that those fumes are heavier than air, and will settle into the lower areas of the boat
second - it's the FUMES that are EXPLOSIVE
ANY kind of spark will detonate this boat like a bomb
