I have purchased this boat and installed a 3.5 speed with rotary carb.I got a few runs but then broke the con rod.
I have a NIB 3.5 speed that had the turbo head and buggy(slide) carb.I took the head button off my broken 3.5 and put it on the new engine.
So now i have basically a new 3.5 ops speed that will take the standard plug.
I did get a couple runs with it before the con rod broke.It seemed to be plowing the water or heavy in the front.
I tried the x437/3 and she did not want to sing out like it should.
I tried the P 215 and she revved up much better and was doing o-k till the rod broke.
I have no experience with mono's what so ever but i assume it should Ride with a slightly nose high attitude and fly across the water and not push through it.
I have my new .29-40 ops pipe set at 8.5" and it seemed to like that.
Do you think there are any decent speeds attainable with this older engine or am i beat before i start it is new?
What props would you recommend to try?
Thanks guys.
Terry
