We may end up shortening the race up a little to 800' but we are still throwin that idea around. 1000 race just he's the boats up to a high enough speed it almost makes the turns dangerous and we...

Yessiirr they both do. Talked to one of em about it today. Got a friend wanting one done those two are about the only ones that I've drove or rode in a boat with their motors on the back. Hydrotec...
I gotcha so that boat ran 42 mph with a stock M40D that's pretty good. I'm hoping I can get around 60 outta the one I'm going to get this spring pending on selling the boat I have now. You aughta be...
Whata you wanting to do? Is that M40 stock or have you got it fixed up a little?
Yessiirr Id roll in one with ya! I'd def kill myself with anything much faster than what I've got, all depending in if the one I got doesn't kill me first!
That's what I was thinking appreciate it it Hank. Y'all gonna bring those gator boats up here in May?
You've got the first Havoc w a Mega if you're the same guy I'm thinking about. Thinking about getting one myself. There's abunch to be learned on here these guys have helped me out a lot. Can't...
Yeah I've heard the port timing was a little diff but in the the end after all port work was done wouldn't matter if it was a 40,50,55,or 60 - a 59 ci Merc block is a 59 ci Merc block regardless of...
I think the 40,50,&60 powerhead 59 ci were the same motor. Only reason there were separate part numbers was diff reed stops and carbs I would imagine. I know the 60 aren't held back as much as the...
Rabbit you done moved over to the BRF forum from AR Hunting? I'm Cache_Swamp on there. Seen ya down at float road this year in your new boat I believe
Can you drop the sleeves and fill the compression relief port and make any more power?
I reopened the thread since our dear friend is gone. Now we can get back to talking about our motors !
My 40 was done by Hydrotec it's running pretty good but I'm wanting to make this 60 block into a play motor for most hp I can get out of it. Can the 60 block be made out to be more or less than the...
Back on the drawing board! Looking for some Answers to see if there is a difference in the 3 cyl 59ci 60 vs 40 blocks and some porting info for a play motor just to get a round about guess on what...
Now we have proven a point that you're an idiot so now we can get back to questions. I've got a complete 60 powerhead assembly I am planning on building up for as much as I can get out of (play...
Damn I got off here for a few weeks and our resident troll done went and destroyed my thread!! Do us all a favor PDT... You don't have any info to put into this or any topic, your boat is a piece of...
We'll this motor must be a freak of Mercury then because it didn't change my idle harldy any and it will run all day long. Last time I checked all 2 stroke motor oil was flammable.... Kinda the point...
Also 11.25 or 12" diameter props for speed on these rigs? I am gonna be running it on the same ole duck boat with the same setup we've been discussing. I may break down and buy a atlas hydraulic...
Alright back on the drawing board. What's y'all's favorite or preferred type of oil to run in these motors? Had several guys throw Klotz outboard oil and that's the direction I think I'm gonna go....
14'36" flat bottom aluminum boat was made in Monticello, AR. Boat weighs about 180-200 lbs. Battery 25, motor 114, gas 6.6 gallons, me 250. Not trying for a record just heard you could hop these...
I've heard the 25 XD Merc from the 80's is the motor you can turn into the 25 XS. Trying to figure out what all can be done to these motors to slightly improve the horsepower. I know 400 CC is the...
I'm trying to find a 8k Merc analog tach so I can see what it's really doing. As of now I only have GPS to guess with and only one prop to run so it'll be a little while before I get it lined...
Yeah my boat ain't feather lite I imagine it would fly on a little Borel or something of that nature like Hank had. Thought about building a boat similar to that this winter if I get time I've got...
It's setting up about where it needs to be I don't have a low water pickup and its set up for hunting so I've gotta be able to turn fast and not blow out it curves. Haven't tried it out yet though
I'll try repost in them. CMC BA130 plate 5.75" of set back and I added what I call "trim stops" to the plate instead of using trim wedges to achieve the same 5 deg of positive trim I was needing to...
55751 Finally got some set back for my rig. Also added these "trim stops" to it instead of using wedges. Think they'll work just fine55752
Hydrotec did most of mine. Did all the porting and a new piston on the top cyl because it wanst getting enough oil I'm guessing.
The velocity stacks won't help from what I've been told. My motor has everything done to it besides the lightened flywheel. Haven't found a burnt up crank shaft to chop the end off of to chuck up in...
I shot a little chain live into those cable covers and worked it back and forth a little and it helps out quite a bit
Yeah I'm one of the happy owners! The 19 degree crank right up makes it even better. Hopefully it gets colder and I can stretch it out some more after those ducks!
The longer the tuner is the more low end you'll have and the shorter (to a point) the more top end rpm you'll have. I cut mine because everybody's I know is cut some are belled some are just cut and...
Think I've got it all the way back right now. May just need to check the cables again see if they are still tight or kick back the idle timing
I may have already asked this but for some of y'all that have chimed in later, what are y'all running as far as timing is concerned. Won't be turning over 7000 much if at all on this motor. Has...
My motor weighs about 195 lbs. Says 204 on the serial tag and that was before I chunked the oil injection, carb cover, and gutted the cowling and a few other little parts that weren't needed anymore....
Yeah I won't have a low water pickup so Ill be running mine buried. Mid 50's is all I'm after anyway but one day I might find another motor and go a little wilder with! PDT my hp rating on my boat is...
I don't have any setback yet I've just been trying it out mounted on the transom Cav plate about 1" high. Gonna try 5.5" first and raise the Cav plate about 2.75-3" above the bottom. I'm looking to...
Going to add some set back and trim wedges sometime in the next week or so and see how she does. Still trying to decide on a prop though haven't made up my mind if a thru hub or over hub would better...
That the one Brandon did?
Man that does sound mean! Where did you get your porting work done at?
I hope to get a few more mph out of it and I'll be happy man. This thing starts up just as easy as my old Etec did and runs good so I couldn't ask for any more. Going to try the setback and trim...
Nice! That's all good info to know. I've got a couple multi meters that have an rpm setting but one only had 4,5,6,& 8 cyl options so I may try one of them temporarily just to kinda see what I get....
Man I haven't figured out how to post any videos yet. Guess I'm technologically impaired when it comes to posting vids on here ! Lol. Somebody wants me to text a few to them they are more than...
Finally let her breathe a little bit yesterday. Borrowed two props from a buddy of mine. One was a Yam Black Stainless 16" pitch other was a Ron Hill 18" semi cleaver. The Yam had a better hole shot...
Haven't had much luck finding a part number for that 8k tach. Found several 7k but only one used 8k. Appreciate the info on install. Once I find one it will be easy to set up w the info y'all have. ...
Mike how do they hook up? You wouldn't happen to have a part number for those would ya? Thanks man
Are there any tachs better than the Tiny Tach rigs for these motors? Haven't decided what I'm gonna get and don't really know what everyone else is running on theirs
I cut the length of the tuner down and welded a bell to the end. I may eventually cut it off and try something else but it's got so much torque and hp more than anything else I've ever had its...
My bad I cut and welded the tuner. I opened mine up quite a but at the end may eventually do it different but I did it like a few guys told me and it seems to har worked real good so far
Don't know about the safe part but I will for sure be riding with a smile man! Thanks man. I never woulda thought these things would run like they do until you get one!
I haven't fully opened it up yet its got about 2-3 hrs on it of break in time and a tank of double oil gas through it. I'm gonna still take it easy for a while. It starts perfect everytime and never...
