    Default Wow!

    You finally found a way to race without a helmet! Somehow, someone will make a rule to strap it on your butt..............

    Default Cool

    Very nice..... install air traps and front deck cowl. The deck cowl in front of the dash board will make the boat look better.... and look finished.

    With the air traps you should get over 60 mph for sure.... without any prop change. Then prop work will and raising the motor will get even more. Keep the prop shaft at least 1" below the bottom of the boat for safety. The older designs were not designed for jacking up the motor to the max. Also, the prop shaft should be level with the bottom of the boat to start with. Maybe kicked out just a little.

    Really cool..... keep up the good work.

    Good Luck.

    Default yamato 302 spark plugs

    Hi,

    Is there any alternatives for NGK R8102-10, R8108-10 or R7424A-9?
    They are hard to find...

    Default 302 plug alternates

    go to Rick Montoya site and look under technical, I think there is a link on this site but for sure on hydroracer.net. The 18mm are hard to find so if you have that head you can change it to the 14mm head or use 18mm to 14mm adapters and then use 14mm plugs. There are many of those available. Ric suggests to go 1 heat range colder with the adapters compared to what was in the engine with 18mm plugs.
