Changing from external coil to internal HEI? Catastrophic failure!!!!!

the boat was a 50'...

did about 30 knots, with a healthy pairs of mann's

here's one of the jets installed...

and yeah, all hydro controlled... all joystick stuff.. we call it video game boating...




here's the transom holes..

here you can see the impeller...

intake plate/hole

here's the canbus engine control and glendennings synchro stuff

That intake plate looks about the same and those man's are sick. Makes the IVECO look like a honduh, and those engine controls, I would hate to deal with that while being shot at. Take too long to rig a fix.
Mad respect to you man.

iirc, those Mann's where about 40 g's a piece....

that was a hella job.. 1/4 million iirc.. took me 3 months.. i really saved that companies arse on that one.. actually, the CEO's job... they f*cked the estimate all up.. no one would touch the boat for about 4 months, finally i got sick of looking at it and volunteered to do it..

when the boat was built, the maker said it would do 30 and it had different jets in it that where MUCH smaller.. boat did 12 knots and wouldn't even get on plane.. with the bigger jets, it did 18... did 30 when i was done tho!

had to re-engineer the whole cockpit floor, stringers, etc.. here's the photobucket gallery for anyone who's bored.

We HAD to have both engines up for them to plane. From 3' to 12" draft.
