the helicoil seems to be holding. i took the waterpump assemebly out of my old one and put it in the new lower unit. the new one was missing the oring on the bottom of the pump. i now have 3-5 pis at idle, and up to 12 at 3000 rpm. going to let the batt charge for a while and go for a test drive. il...

after removeing the lowerunit and inspecting his work, i found a waterpump housing bolt striped in the lower unit. he tried to fixit with jb weld. as an auto mechanic i know that **** is worthless. im off to find a heilo coil set and a complete waterpump assembely. i know there are many marinas open...

i installed my lowerunit, and was disipointed with the water presuer. the old unit kept 7-12 psi depending on rpm. this one barely holds 2-5. after a while running it in the tank for a while, the pee hole stops flowing and steam starts coming out. i imedatly shut it down. the guy i got the lowerunit...

Did you do the work installing the water hose stuff then or was there a cone on it previously so it was already there? I would start an inch below the pad or even with it and go from there. Where were you at before? the water hose stuff was allready drilled and taped. its tuff to mesure the prop sh...

i had a friend do the welding, but i finished the body work. my best run was 68 mph on gps with the old unit. i would have to shut it down when i lost water pressuere.(too much trim) im really hopeing to break 70 saturday. if conditions are right, ill have a 3 mile streach to let it loose. i havent ...

just finished the body work on my new lower unit. i blew my last one up 8 weeks ago. the last one wasnt low water pick up, and i was loseing waterpressure at high trim. ill see saturday if i get better top end numbers

still looking for a 20 inch midsection for my 99 merc 3.0 250 EFI. would really like to mount that motor on the virage this winter. also have a dual cable helm with cables its from a viper i parted out, for sale or trade. it turns freely, and i greased it before storing it.

8 flounder and 5 trout, before noon. my daughter got her first flounder, then a trout and another flounder. sure would like to find a hooker hull, the virage is not fisherman friendly.

What you see is a "floor support". I believe it was made in a mold and glassed to the hull. The bottom panel is a false floor for the ski locker. Notice the three drain holes? I don't think these boats have stringers. I am going to balsa core the entire hull. Factory only cored the pad an...

here are some new pics. we were on the halifax river. i wish i had some action pics, but i dont. the boat handles great. the intercostal gets real rough, and i can blow thru the stuff other guys have to back off for.
