How Fast Will A Quincy 6 Go ?

Oh I know just how fast one can change a power head and a unit. The hardest was the 500 Yamato with the 4 into cables to pull but it wasn't to bad. He made shorter ones for the lay down years ago. I knew of 4 with you having 2 of them on boats, my old boat and Geslers

I run a little 3' throttle cable on all my engine that go to (What I call a pendulum) linkage so that all the engines with different cable travel requirements can be quickly disconnected and connected.
I couldn't imagine running something simple... I would lose my mind even worse than I have already!

Lol J-Dub. Yeah the tricky part for ours was the pipe cable but we had the extra cables mounted to a board in the boat. On the water pickup we had a small curved piece that bolted to the bottom of the tower to get good a good flow of water. And the prop that he ran on the hydro and runabout with the Konig was x651. I changed power heads on your 2 boats so many times with Howard and Mark over the years lol.

Yup. That was just a 66" Deflector on fuel on a 14' Flat Deck DeSilva. I remember Paul had hurt their Stevens Six in the second heat and I ended up winning the Divisionals that day. Then a few hour after the races, Paul comes back into the pits with their Six Looper in the back of a pickup...
I remember that moment like yesterday... I was sitting on my trailer having a couple "Barley Flavored Soda's" with a few racers, Rucker being one of'm, because that's when Bill pointed out the obvious "You're screwed now Kid!" And the following day, Paul confirmed Bill's "Theory".
Good Times! I really enjoyed racing in Region 11 in those days. I met some great, forever friends in your region!
