Hello guys long time no see !

The summer with F3 didnt go very well.. I managed to drive it couple of times but every time something was wrong.
On the first test a trim system didnt work properly so I needed to test drive without it. Here's a video from the first test: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2IlN9TiPts

On the second test our fuel pump broke and it might have damaged our other engine. I need to find out what's wrong with the powerhead. And on top of everything the tunnel of the boat cracked while pulling the boat on trailer.

But now the boat itself is fixed and the trim system should work now. So next step is to open up the engine and test out the other powerhead.

I also find out an interesting information according to my boat. It holds the finnish speed record at 157km/h (97.5mph). The record was set in 1991.

When I was over at the OMC factory in Brugge testing boats before going to race events my old teamate John Hill would go out and test his OMC 3 cyl outfit and in race trim he would be doing 96mph this was in 1977.
