FINALLY HIT THE WATER SUNDAY
So the 259 is alive again ! Went out to the local resevoir and tried out the new motor and I must say I am very happy.. had three adults and 1/2 tank of fuel and was getting 5600 rpm with a heavily cupped 28 bravo from BBLADES so I believe its a runner.. no gps reading yet..:cheers:- BASMITH63
