Re: 1977 viper recore
I don't think I will have this done by this weekend. I could rush and get it in the water but after all this time it's not worth it. I spent tonight getting the motor and jack plate on, steering in and new-used cowl on.

Re: 1977 viper recore
I have been looking for some rigging tube without breaking the bank and I finally spent some time at the hardware store this morning and found what I was looking for 1 1/2" irrigation hose.
This is what I will be up to tonight, I hope to have the wiring roughed in tonight and finish by mid week.

Re: 1977 viper recore
Wow is this taking way longer than I thought but it's close. We had a boat show at work with our race boats today so it had to look presentable. I got 3 hours of sleep last night but it was worth it today. We had a set of scales and I made it under 1000 lbs at 997.
I bought a cheap water pressure gauge and took it apart and redid it in carbon, I wish I had more time to do it but it looks ok, I might try it again.

Re: 1977 viper recore
It will be getting wet soon!
I tried to take a nap but I just couldn't but I made some smoke.
I need to work some bugs out, my fuel pressure gauge is sticking and my gauges seem to be fighting me. I should have bought them new the older one has my egt temps and is not reading now and the probes won't fit in my new one.

Re: 1977 viper recore
Well after working on a pontoon all day and finishing up a rebuild on a 150 merc I was able to get it wet. I had the guy I rebuilt the motor for meet me at the lake to do a little test run while I did the same with the viper. I told the guy to keep it under 3500 for 2 hours so what does he do leaves it idle at 3000the dock while he parks his truck. I was a little pissed but he didn't think he was doing anything wrong.
So It was dark and I don't have any lights on the boat but I put in and ran it for about 15 min before my fuel pump decided to start blowing fuses. Luckily my dad watched me paddle my vegas with a waterski last year and bought me a nice collapsible paddle.
I just threw on a 27 srx and was trying hole shots and this thing is going to be fun, and this was without the spray. It was faster out of the hole than my vegas with a 22 merc et. So I'm thinking for racing I will end up with a 24 for the 85 mph class and a 26 and spray for the 95, but at this time it's just a guess.
I took the camera without batteries so I didn't get any pictures in the water, but i will try again tomorrow.
