Oh Jezz. I was trying to forget those days
Only thing on engine not touched is piston and heads. New alt, reman starter, Rebiuld original CARTER carb, rebuilt Sherwood pertronix. All rewired all new hoses and manifold
Blah blah blah. I got lucky motor is smooth and tight

Here's a thread on Daryn's boat before it was Daryn's boat, (minus a lot of pictures)

Ok. I’ll work on video next trip
Exhaust note at dock is cool
Sounds like a 67 barracuda car at 35mph
Muscle boat ??

10-4 on possible sinking, no crying about toys Could happen. I would be more worried about a hazmat fine and cleanup cost by sheriff and army corps

The small amount of foam I put back was to fill void only and keep water out from under bow and under my feet, much harder to check and get to (not for floatation )   Encased foam with several layers glass and epoxy. It will last another 20 years
Have good 4th

Glad you are finding stringers to be in decent shape.  Boat looks great by the way.  Now to really challenge you get a video or 2 of it running on the water up on Youtube and link them here.

Not sure I would have put foam back in.  I don't know how people feel about foam as a safety item, for me if my '63 (never had foam) sinks, it sinks.  One time in really rough water on a lake I shouldn't have been out on, I tied a lifejacket and inflated fender to my anchor line and the other end to the boat so if it sunk I'd have a chance to find it again later.  Not sure I'm proud of that one, but it was an adventure. Smile My point is having a bilge that is dry and can be cleaned up seems better to me than having foam, but maybe I'm wrong about that, not sure.

Removed all foam but replaced with new foam to the area only in front of bulkhead
Did not want water migration up front
May add more to side voids but that’s it
No new foam adjacent stringer

Stringers all looked amazing, glass still stuck really well. Replaced the side to side ‘ribs’ with IPE (ironwood). Also trimmed and cleaned up the glass connections between stringers and ribs. Trimmed back about 3”x3” , reglassed with 2 thick pieces of matte to fir out and match
Then 2 thick progressive larger with cabosil to fill then 2 thin to smooth out
Then carbon fiber (black) to tie everything
thing together and look uniform
Marine poplar plywood for new floor, several coats spar.
Ring and finger installed now

So pictures got hacked during ransom ware
Deal. Would love to try again got couple
Perhaps Keno@gmail can assist
Thx 63 for useful comments
Good news 10 hours on new blackfish cutlass no vibes no wear. I listen to CCF and got lucky
So a 13x15 can turn into a 13/14 after reconditioned makes a lot of sense
You saved me a step by keep existing on until I know more
My test copilot and I both said OK fast enough and engine was screaming 44
But I’ll try for 46
Y’all have great holiday

And not likely to hit 50 mph with a stock 318, but 44-46 feels pretty fast in these boats!

I'm not able to see the pictures from earlier in the thread, not sure if that's on my end or they are gone.  If you are able to re-post or add some pictures I'd love to see the boat.

Shaft spinning easy can be good or bad.  Good if it means dead-on alignment but maybe not so good if you have too much wear in the cutlass bearing.

Glad you figured out what you have for a prop.  I will say that once a prop is reconditioned in my experience it doesn't spec out quite the same as when it was new.  In other words you might not be able to say "13x15 gives me x for performance" since a brand new version of the same prop would give different results assuming there were some minor changes during the recondition.

There's a lot to matching props to boats to engines, but then again you've got an old school inboard with an engine that, if close to stock, puts out a pretty well known amount of power.  Once you can trust your tach you'll be looking at speed vs. rpm and deciding if the current prop, and then the 13x13, are letting the engine make full power throughout the range.  Don't change out the prop until you get the tach so you have reliable numbers to compare, your gps max speed is one part but you need matching rpm to know what is going on.

Thank you. I’m excited about trying the 13x13 with a accurate tach
50 mph would be very cool but not necessary.

KenO as usual is right on. 13x16 is way wrong, and would result in much lower rpm than speed and lugging that engine pretty hard.

Great info thx. Exactly what I was looking for
Tach seems to be set on wrong position
Like 12 cylinder seems to be about 15% low. Was reading 3800 when screaming at 41 mph, then WOT to 44mph at approx 4200rpm ?
But I will verify my tach or get new
Your right I need working tach
The 13x13 is on the shelf. I’ll check prop pitch on boat.
I have a medium fancy timing light, advance dial, no tach.
My girlfriend thinks it is a small grandpa type fishing pleasure boat. She is gonna be surprised when it jumps on plane and screams up to 45. It’s fast and loud and squirrelly.

You should really fix the tach or buy a new one.

If you can hear the engine screaming and it's sounds like it's maxed out with a 13x16 on it, you either have a really, really powerful engine or your "ear tach" is way off or it isn't really a 13x16. Wink

13x16 is too much prop on your boat and is most likely keeping RPM's down and lugging the engine  I'd probably re read the markings on the prop to verify it's diameter and pitch

13x13 would be a better prop, it'll give more RPM's at any given speed, lug the engine less and should be plenty of prop for a 318 to handle without over reving

But....... without an accurate tach, it's hard for you to know what you're doing.

Do you have one of those fancy timing lights that also has a tach feature built in?

How about a picture of those markings?

So camped at lake Sonoma
Tested 3 times over 4 days
Went excellent good alt, oil, and temps staying consistent   New fuel tank no crap in filter
Engine is smooth at idle, wot very quick
I can tell pertronix is working
Plugs are nice color. Super happy
44 mph on gps phone. Engine rpm maxed out sound like
My tach is off due to dial in back loosy
But I can just hear engine screaming

However lake is lower probably unusable in August
I’m running a 13x16 now
Gonna try the 13x13 next time
What will the result be??
Anyway that’s the update after really tests

I bet it's fast, and these boats always feel/sound faster than they really are! I've never been in an early SN, would like to ride in one sometime. The hull looks so much different from the 16 and 16 1/2 foot hulls, curious how the ride and handling differs. Also would like to ski behind one, just to say I did.

My reading comprehension is a little off this morning.

This looks like 67 ski nat is complimenting himself for having a classic looking well done rear end

Kinda tacky to be complimenting yourself
