This boat was listed on here for sale a few years back, pre Covid. I am listing for a friend, Jim Johnson who now has the boat in Parker. Jim was going to restore the boat but some health issues changed his plans Boat will need a new interior, old one was in such poor condition it was...

This guy has an interesting Youtube channel. I first thought to share it with RD due to his previous interest in putting together a model engine with his son. I have not yet watched more than the first couple of minutes of this, but think it may interest many.

OK, anyone upriver from me see where this launched from, or know what it is, besides the obvious huge black wiener? Sounded like it had a motor, was heading towards the airport where it gained altitude. Not real fast but don't believe it was wind assisted, air was pretty calm this morning . I...

There is a live feed on Youtube of the sprint boat races in Washington. Almost time for intermission and a jet ski exhibition prior to getting to the match races. If you think you can drive a boat, check this out! Sunday live feed sprint boat races.

I talked to someone in the Keys today who mentioned there may have been one in the Keys over the weekend.

Got a long time friend, professional driver, currently off his normal job looking for side transportation work. He's bringing a boat to me, and I believe a machine to someone in Havasu today, empty on the return trip to So Cal but open to hauling anywhere I believe. He is a respected member...

Friend of mine runs the show, looks like a great time for car guys. I am planning on heading up even though I don't have a car to run. I am currently building an engine for a friend who is interested in running this type event!

Any Parker people missing their dock from the flooding the other night? It made it down to my place near Badenochs.

I have just started planning a tall deck 540 build using a brand new Brodix block that was purchased for another customer, and plans changed. I don't have a new crank for it, so that might be changed if someone wanted longer or shorter stroke, but I do have some 6.8" Molnar "power adder" rods...

This was SteveO's engine that I built for him some number of years ago. I have taken it apart to clean the dirt out of the bottom of the crankcase from him leaving the pan off for an extended period of time when he was sick. All parts were brand new with the exception of the dry sump setup...

I have decided that I will pull this dusty engine apart and freshen it up, even though all parts are brand new and its never been run! From what I understand it sat in a carport area with the oil pan off, so the only reasonable thing is to carefully take it all apart, clean the block and lower...

I've been working on this project for many weeks. As you can see on the valve covers, it was originally built at Paul Pfaff's shop. I actually called Gordy and asked him to share information with me, since someone else had rebuilt it in the interim, and some of the stuff didn't look like Gordy...

Roughly halfway between Badenochs and the casino there was a fire a short time ago. Buckskin fire boat responded and got it put out in pretty short order. I first assumed it was a boat, but it could have been on the AZ side of the river, there are some people that camp down that way. I am...

I recently built a matched pair of 489 cubic inch engines for an RDP member. I will leave it to him to identify himself if he sees fit. With some minor variations, these build instructions could apply to most marine performance engine builds. They left here as long blocks, but were destined...

After skiing this morning we headed to RR for breakfast. There was a boat upside down at Bass Point, Sheriff boat at the scene. I didn't recognize the purple and white bow of the boat, and we could not make out any damage on the bow that might have occurred if it went up on the rocks. Rumor...

Anybody going back to Glendora after the weekend? I have a clean, boxed camshaft that I need to get there, will ship Monday if no one is heading that direction. Thanks in advance.

Asking before I start, what particular parts of an engine build would you like to see? It's been some time since I sat down and did a write up. It's time consuming and to shoot my own photos means a lot of cleaning oil and assembly lube off my hands during the process. I just completed a...

Selling for a friend, Maha Race Ski. No damage showing on the bottom, believe it was set up right foot forward previously, but obviously that can be changed and set up where you need them. $300 in Parker

Some years back I put together a 621 cubic inch all aluminum engine for Steve Peterson. Since he was building it for turbos, the Brodix 10.7" tall deck intake that was with it was not used. When all of the parts in his garage got sold off, someone must have gotten that intake, which is only...

I would like to claim this as my own idea, but it's not. Gary Teague showed me this when I was doing some engines for him back in the early 90's Keeping ignition timing stable is important to engine performance. As the cam moves back and forth, the relation of the cam gear and distributor...
