Thanks Bro! Hey do me a favor and send some of that snow my may! Just bought a Mini Z for my son and I want to get him some seat time on it.

You can have ALL of this! I don't even like the color!

Well, the GD forum got a little bumpy so I thought I'd risk a post over here...
The ice isn't going out for another few weeks, so I only have last years boat pics...but I do have new engine shots! 454's bored .060 and stroked 4.25 with the Eagle 11111 rotating assemblies, balanced.

So there!

Oh yeah, the "Old School Boat" pics from last September...1989 Maxxum 281, and it went into storage on October 1st....

I am sure this will bring some good responces but here it goes...

The pistons- they have a semi-circle cut out of them- why?

Gotta deal on them - they were cheaper than the ones with the complete tops.

They are valve reliefs to allow monster lift and cam timing adjustments...

I have some heads too...I'll pic them once i've cleaned them up.

Thanks for the complement.. I have been very pleased with it. It handles the rough stuff pretty dam good.

Yup, she's a real Beauty and looks in great shape - what year/model/power is it?

The portholes are futher forward than on the Maxxum 281 and you don't have the torpedo holes at the front! Your interior is probably a generation younger needing the porthole moved, but I wonder why no headlights?

And I just found out I'm buying a ski platform (married), although I'm too old and wise to ski behind me - I like the minimalistic approach, as to not take away from the transom line, kind like yours.

I still have my first Checkmate, bought new in 1974, and love the hull for the solid feel. This will be the first twin for me, so I'm looking forward to putting this one together. Here's the "sales" pics from when I bought her, can't wait to get it wet....

Its a 1995 283 Convincer Single 502 EFI The new one's are now called a 303.
No torpedo holes( Docking lights). The boat was bought in NY when it was new.

Holds 130 Gallons of fuel. Its does real well on fuel burn.

Its a full 28' long if you don't measure the swim platform.
I parked beside a 32' Sunsation and my boat looked as long as the Sunsation. Its 30' and change measuring the platform.

130 gallons eh? That's great news,, as I've been tring to find out what might be in mine..thanks. I don't even want to think about fuel burn at this point - I'm going "green" and running QJets/dual-plane/stock cams with the 9.1 comp 496 stroke kits this year.

The platform looks even better from that view. Nice ride.

Second block on the stand and now I'm ready for new oil pump pickup measurements..original 1994 pump had plastic pump rod coupler, 1995 was metal, but both standard volume.:action-smiley-055:
