14ft 1972 runabout. Fun to run around in. Rather vintage actually rather than the speakers and fishfinder I added which could be easily taken out to return to original condition. Throttle at about 3/4. Not bad for a 42 year old motor. These hydro-electric shifts though... getting gearcase oil is a PITA.
In storage right now so can't go take a better picture. River is STILL frozen and it is April 10th. Bad winter for sure.

Life changes every day! I made an offer on a little toy that if it works out I may not move forward with the new lift or the shocks. Will need to occasional tow this 38 foot 8500lbs dry weight plus three axle trailer about 2000lbs not to mention water and 200 gallons of gas. I don't think anything over my 5inch lift would be wise just my .02... Will keep you kids posted...
Don't need much towing when it's on a roller

I love the 7.3, just couldn't find a flawless one when I was in the market.
You couldn't find a flawless one, so you're saying the 7.3s are junk. Hmm, I can read between the line.
Stewart knows me well, I really enjoy being part of this forum but if I only discussed blown head gaskets, broken manifold bolts and it was too serious don't think I'd be here everyday. FTE is a great place to get help when needed, learn from others, but at the end of the day enjoy being part of a fun group .
Now, I've heard that the 7.3's will do high 13's in the quarter! My only question is, is that being pulled by a bullet proofed modified 6.0 or pushed by one?

With a couple of spark plugs lodged in the hood, I would imagine it free breathing. And how else would a gas guzzling 6.8 get the power to tow the extra fuel tank if it isn't deep geared.

I'll take my chances, feeling pretty good about my bullet proofing.

Don't get all huffy, it's not your fault you can't keep up with a Prius. (It's ok we all know).

Michael you're gonna have to change the thread title again if we're not careful.
