I had to order a bunch of silicone hoses and hopefully they will be here this weekend so I can get a lot of engine plumbing done.
That silicone hose is VERY pricy!

I know I have to fill in a lot of pics and information as I have been very busy..... But......
The engine took it first breath this past Monday!
I still have some final adjustments to make but it sounded Great!
Hopefully I will be in the water in the next week or so.

Yes there are.....
Sorry, I will finish this I promise.
I ended up having my back surgery and things have not gone well. I only got a chance to put about 30 hours on the boat but it is running great.
Some friends of mine got together and pulled, shrink wrapped and winterized the boat so at least I am all set for winter.
Thank God for good friends.

Yeh. +10 I love 2 stroke diesels. Hope everything is cool with Jerry, and his 6-71's are running strong. They are such awesome engines. Jeff should scrap his 318 plan and put a 671 in his 25er. He could do a 6v with a ZF.
I'd love to have them, but I can't get diesel unless I make B-100 or order a truckload on my waters.
Kinda sux.....

Ok look at your delivery pics and last weekends pics and tell me about big changes.
Used 6v71n in your boat would be pretty cool. Damn cool actually. I don't know if you could get the inline 6 in yours, but the 6v I think would fit.
