Thanks guys. They already have it stripped down to the bare block(talk about working fast) Bob, It looks like Raymond and Bob may have been right in that by not replacing the oil cooler originally that is the source of the problems as again it is oil not getting to the Crankshaft that killed it. This time we actually melted a main bearing to the cap. So it looks like she will get 2 new oil coolers as well

Takin em apart is the easy part!

Good luck with the build, John... hope to see you on the run.

Specialized

We are in.

Hey Dennis, I read something yesterday that was pretty neat " the turbine produces more power per cubic foot of size than any other engine except for a nuclear reactor" pretty cool

Maybe since he will be in the 'little' Skater the chopper can keep up with his azz.

Nuclear power in a boat would be pretty easy. You are already setting in the median you would use to turn into steam. I was on a Nuclear powered sub and aircraft carrier. Neat stuff.

You better make sure not to run aground or suck up a plastic bag etc.

Bob Morgan has his canopied 43 Skater in Cape Coral. I helped put the bunks for the 43 on his boat lift over Thanksgiving. I will call and make sure he knows about the run.

He will whip me like a rented mule.

I have a friend who was the XO on the Nimitz he has told me that he will get me on when close for one of the VIP cruises. That is the day I truly look forward to. Nothing like a 100K ton ship that can exceed 50 mph.

I hope we get to see the Canopied Skater out. That is one mean looking boat.
