We have a early Koenig engine that we have been told is a B engine. The serial number is 0301AH does that coincide with a B. If not could a number have been switched?

I was there. It was raining so hard I could not make the turn down the ramp to the pits so I was the first one up in the state park. We had our St Bernard with us who was supposed to sleep under...

The term bottom reveal refers to the difference in height of the bottom sheet of plywood next to the chine sheet. We used 3/8" thick on the bottom and 1/4" on the chines, sides and deck. Where the...

Ron. I never said it was put there by the factory. I have a picture of the boat given to me by the original owner and the hole is there when he was racing the boat with a Hot Rod. I believe he is the...

I just looked at the pictures on that site and as I was doing that I remembered I sold the boat and the 20H to a man in Maryland maybe four years ago. I looks like he never used it since it looks...

That is a boat that I once owned. I believe the boat was owned by Bud Hursh on which he ran a Champion Hot Rod. From what I could figure out the hole was for access of a fuel tank below the deck. ...

Sorry but your picture did not show. Try to explain it in words or try again.

Al, Yes I have been there. It was very enjoyable, Mark and Elaine are great people. I first met them when they picked up the red nosed Sid Craft and the Christener 20H at my house in Port Orange,...

I was beginning to wonder, but you saved the best for last in my opinion. The Christener 20H and Sid Craft. Best regards and happy fathers day Mark.

One thing missing, no beer on the table!

Alan and I had a neat tow vehicle, not quite a van but I guess it was close. It was 1950's Willy's panel truck that once was used by our father as a survey crew truck. Always had problems with the...

The difference between the top and bottom throws is usually corrected when the bottom bearing is installed which will force the crank up to the correct end play. It looks like the left side and...

I do not know if this has an effect on your current problem but it looks like in the photo's that the reed stops are not set to the same height. One appears to be open so nearly touching...

If some one could ask John Timmons to inquire of Charlie Strang (sp) we might get a factory tested HP rating for the 20H conversion.

In my 20H Book I have a letter from Strang while he worked at...

Squared ports still need an minimum 1/8" radius in the corners on exhaust ports. This improves flow and helps control heat build up which will distort the cylinder roundness. Per Harry Brinkman.

Here are some pictures of the engine and the props

Alan and I just purchased a 20H Conversion that had some neat items on it. The engine belonged Bill Monge but we purchased it from Bob Lemkey. We have not taken the engine apart since we only...

I am not familiar with this unit at all but it sounds like it could be a slightly bent shaft.

A friend of ours put us in contact with the widow of the Mercury dealer. He emailed us about two weeks ago and last Thursday Alan went to retrieve the engine from her. A find like this you have to...

The engine was owned by a Mercury dealer in MN. He kept it in a case in his home. It will be in the museum Alan is building.

That recoil sheave is like the later 55H. The 44XS has a plastic plate on the bottom and that is what broke. The plate is riveted on and it looks like a metal plate could be made to replace...
