1. waterthunder I am a numbers guys

2. maybe the new gold & red sticker adds the extra performance over the old green & gold ones!!

3. is it Tony480 approved??

Good one ! Maybe theyre secretly filled with nitrous!

As far as dollars per lb of torque at prop , probably gears and prop, however if u have a small boat and u want to wake it up a little go with the buddy branch recomendation

I've thought about starting over with a new crank, but my fear is the same thing will happen again. Dang, I sure wish I would have checked that end play after the rebuild. Thanks for sharing your experience. Anyone interested in trading a bass boat for a really expensive automotive self pace class ...

A good specked out caddy crank will last 10-15 years in a normal environment, now if you have a cad crank with 10-20 years of abuse and rebuild motor with out of spec crank, you will probably wind up with results similar to what you just experienced.

freehand measurement with a harbor freight caliper looks like I have about .030 end play with the new thrust bearing installed. if you have .030 with the new bearing in place I would bet that you had a very similar reading upon rebuild completion, new bearings wont wipe a crank flange out that quic...

Only mean theres much better choices,

If its a dun deel roll with it , otherwise a 454 isa turd in a blanket, much better choices out there!

After reading your post I'm very interested in the Dragonfly. I really like the set up you have. Just a couple question. I see you running in the grass, will it still run like that with a load (say three grown men and a ice chest, or three or four kids, or two adults and 4-5dozen decoys and dog)? A...

Seems like alot of drama plays out in this small world of digginfools range of realestate he plays in, gotta make a fellow wonder!

If the bolts are stainless replace them with 8 point header bolts made by arp and see if they break, stainless bolts dont take vibration well

Ive always heard the valves are a weak link

Yes Sir!! My drone videoed the aerial shots with Matt Siwula flying and using the video controls. Andrew and David Mossier JR *Plumcrazy* did the GoPro and operating their boat. Andrew McDermott did the editing. David Wine owner of the boat was the main man!! If I was doing a bowfishing boat it wou...

So impact ranem to 175 torque wrench only showed that they were more than 80

Yes there seems to be several airboaters in Nebraska. I am planning on going to Thunder on the Loup this summer.....We may have to make our own fun here in south central Iowa until then. I plan to run it on the Des Moines river and some other creeks/rivers in the area. Not too many swamps in this a...

I happen to have on hand a rubber mallet and a 100lbn anvil i could lease for say $100.00 with a $1000.00 deposit if this would help!

I have seen this in person, i use moths balls in my rv and they work!!
