Every year I look for one but never find 'em.

"Brand New" isn't what I'm looking for. Just thinking about keeping 'em somewhat noticeable. I clicked on the link (you provided) and all I got out of it so far is the guy running a thermostat. Who the f--- runs a thermostat in a boat ? I've ran the boat once with the new Headers. Dry of course...

My 454 LS6 is 60 over , 11 1/4 to 1, don't remember the cam specs but I remember 630 was in there and the shop referred to it as a V-drive cam(non Roller) solid lifters, Roller Rockers, 990 Heads. Shop said it was about 650 HP. Just bought a set of Basset Headers (which I paid too much for)...

water injected headers withe the basset T valve and the lines feeding both headers. How are you running your lines with the harmonic balancer in the way.

I'd like to see what the plumbing consists of for A wet Headers set up. Thanks

Give up at speed ? I said it starts to porpoise at 70+. And I or anybody that rides in it do not have a PROBLEM with it. Don't jump to conclusions that the boat is gonna break apart. I've had the boat over 40 years so I aint no rookie. I just putt around the delta and ski as much as...

Everything's there except A big block

Yeah, ok...I think I'll give Basset A call and see how much they'll make A sucker out of me this time, after paying $1900 for my Headers. Thanks for the pics.

I just bought some new Bassets (the long ones) and need some ideas on how to secure 'em and prevent 'em from cracking later on down the road. (I mean River)

I took my motor to these guys from the time they opened their shop in Pacheco, CA . up until they called it quits. Great guys , Good 'ol days. I'm trying to figure out how many seasons my motor has since the last rebuild which was done during the last days before they shut down. I know...

The lockout handle that allows you to take your foot off the cavitation peddle does not work . i think i needto open up the unit and inspect but not sure if i have to release the springs for the cavitation plate. I've had this boat since 1978. Never had to mess with cav plate.

Yup...OK thanks

The 1 1/4 is too big .

I've replaced the the outside drain plugs (1 inch) but can't find a center replacement plug which is slightly bigger on a '72 Sanger Bubble Deck. Center plug is working but the rubber shows cracks when tightening. Lol. I'm sure alot of guys wish this was their only problem ! Lol

I've only seen 'em on Jets. Not sure if I will like 'em on my V-Drive. Any Pics ?
