I recently received a letter from the ATA Associates company advertising their services in forensic engineering. Apparently several people were...
I'm not familiar with that particular boat but I put a pair of 3208 turbo cats in a 36' steel hull boat and it was 18-20 knt cruise boat. I think...
When you get it running you are going to have to run it wide open for a short distance to make sure the props are the right size. If it won't turn...
I would be concerned about the transom/starb'd side being caved in as well as the 2-1' by 1' holes in the bottom by the keel. That boat looks like...
Where is Kemah? Kemah is about 45 miles south of Houston on Galveston Bay/Clear Lake, Texas.
It sounds like a detonation problem caused by too much prop or too much advanced timing. I would think a modern computer controlled engine would...

One of Bertram's "better" ideas- put the hatch edge over the top of the carb. where water can drip all over it. I wouldn't take it apart. Give it...
28 Bertram On the Judson when the orange light quits flickering or flickers slowly it's supposed to be sync'd. Listen to the motors at cruising...
