kiwi808 Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 Boaty McBoatface. I like jet boats. Down here everyone uses jet ski motors (cause easy) but the V8 ones on full song sound sooooooooooo awesome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
73crownwagon Posted October 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 Been sitting dormant for a few months as house build back in full swing. Used long weekend to my advantage and got stuck into the boat. Pulled interior out and hung it up on the gantry at work so I could get to the shit parts of hull to fix. Will spend tomorrow mucking around with it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post 73crownwagon Posted March 9, 2018 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 Yeh so I lost alot of interest in this for a while with house project in full swing and buying a datsun wags money was a touch low. So I stripped the motor completely down because the cylinder was quite rusty in number 8 and scored up in number 1. Pistons were already .030 thou over and next size up i could find were .060 so said fuck it and went full bore out size. I bored it out at work honed it up and now ready for assembly next few weeks in spare time. Plan is to work on boat hull over easter so I'll try keep up with updates. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
73crownwagon Posted March 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 Started making a baffled sump yesterday at lunch while I wait for my parts to show up from Aus. Have cut the sump out also have made up a template and will bend some panel steel into shape today at lunch ready to hopefully tig up tomorrow or after work at home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mistral Posted April 8, 2018 Report Share Posted April 8, 2018 While you've got the sump in bits run a loop or two of 3/8" refrigeration copper tube and link to the primary water , it works wonders for dragging the excess heat out of the oil, we did this in Grandads old '65 Hamilton J42 and it made a BIG !! difference 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
73crownwagon Posted April 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2018 @Mistral that's a solid good idea and I'll try sort something out for sure. Sump coming along nicely. Made up the gate baffles to stop surging oil slop. Mate of mine makes race sumps for rb engines so copied plans. Will now try and add this cooling system to it somehow. All parts have shown up for the rebuild so as soon as i finish sump can put engine together again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
