    Default My CSH, race ready...

    She's finally done! After many many hours of sanding (including the bottom fiberglass resin) priming and painting, completely rebuilding the 102 and getting the lower unit back from Tom (who did a great job) its ready to hit the water. Numbers and letters will be on soon and Saturday is Race Day! here are some pictures. Oh and I got my new safety gear in from SRP last week as well as a new helmet.

    **ADD** Also Will have the carb cover repainted tomorrow.

    Silas, 53-A. Cya at Standish!

    Cool!

    I probably won't see you 'til Whitney Point, though
    Since 1925, about 150 different racing outboards have been made.

    Your correct!!! Better to tow without the motor on. Good luck and be safe out there.

    Everything went well. boat went nice engine started every pull. The engine did have a crank case leak which was causing the top cylinder to run lean so we just richened it up until the top looked good and the bottom was running a little rich. We are going to break that apart and fix it, should be easy.

    I attached some pictures that I captured out of the video footage.
