Central FL machine and speed in Winter Garden.

I’ve used the machine shop on Old Winter Garden Rd. just East of Kirkman too.

The Machine and Foundry shop on Kayley near Division.

He’s been that way for years.

I have a ‘04 and got the rebuild kit and rebuilt mine. It would loose prime when parked over night.

I had the same problem when trying to thread stainless rod for my linkage. I used the top jaws out of two of these pipe wrenches and my vise with the vise pressing the “tops” of the jaws pinching the rod. They bit nicely, almost need 4 hands to set it up though.

I’ve posted about this before. It’s definitely obnoxious. Especially big weekends with lots of traffic.

Nothing wrong with a regular ol head light. Just turn your head a little and viola, no one is being blinded by it.

The O320 H model uses a manual fuel pump that's toward the prop.

Just a heads up

Great job. A lot of the same scenes we saw in SE TX last year. We did a lot of the same things... bringing food and water to those that are high and dry but on a temporary island. We brought a bunch of feed to those areas too for the large animals that were stranded.

Great Job!!!

I went out to SE Texas last year after Harvey, had no Tasking Number and even shuttled sheriff deputies a few times. I didn’t get paid for anything and wasn’t looking to. I guess maybe that’s where the Tasking Number comes in.

They were taking all the help they could get and were very gracious.

Any noticeable difference? Same prop and pitch before and after trials...?

May ol “Olf” Rest In Peace!!! He was a wealth of knowledge, and a hearty source for wisdom.

Why anyone would use “adjustable” push rods is beyond me. It’s easier to cut yours down.

Hatchineaha, spring '02 when I was 16 yrs old. Went shell cracker fishin with my uncle. He let me drive. Its all I could think about while we were fishin was the ride back. On the way back I got ballsy and picked a trial that was a little dry and ended up near a fence line. I was cruising straight t...

Putnam County already has already got the ball rolling to arm school staff. None will be teachers, they will be trained, as well as have psych studies done. They will conceal carry and absolutely no one will know who the “school marshals” are except the principal.

MAKE SURE TO RUN A CAM ADDITIVE!!! Aeroshell Plus has the additive, that’s what the plus indicates.

Those engines are infamous for cam wear.

Dude, I’ve started across Hatchineaha during hunting season at 5am and got into white caps and thought to myself “I shouldn’t be out here, but can’t turn around now”. During the winter Hatch can get a nasty wind out of the north that will fool you when leaving the port. I don’t have a wind speed rul...

Perfect RPM

For fouling.. When the plugs foul, the cylinders turn into an oil pump and will push that oil out through the exhaust, and if the gaskets aren't perfect, it'll make its way out on to the headers.

Check your plugs first

Yeah I'm very familiar with the cam & lifter wear on these motors..this is my 2nd h model.. I've replaced lifters on both motors more than once..while these are decent motors my next boat will have something different..fixing to sell this boat I believe.. wanting something a little bigger..as m...

It also depends on if your oil cooler is above the motor or below. If its above, then the full oil charge will drain during an oil change and that extra volume the cooler holds will need to be compensated for. My cooler is below my engine with no drain on it (as of now) so that oil stays in the cool...

My 320 H model takes 6qts

I wasn’t looking for pity, I just wanted to let people know.
Thank you all though.

Something ought to be posted here about his passing. The man was a champion for airboaters and sportsmen, as well as a great prop builder and revolutionized the airboat prop industry. He was my Great Uncle, my father’s Uncle. So much to be said about him, so many stories to be told. Some meant to sh...

doesnt seem legal to me for an Alachua co. officer to wait for you on the Marion Co. sidde when you get back to the ramp.... Other than that, just have to have a fastere boat the the Alachua Co. dude.
