| :) They look pretty good to me, other than the third one on the right of your pic. It has deposits around the center electrode. Not being there to look first hand, I would ask what that white deposit is? Also, all three seem a touch lean, but that was probably due to the cooler air. I'm sure in warm... |

| Yes they did hurt the sport. In Offshore racing in the late 1990's early 2000's, there were Factory I and a Factory II classes. Factory I was a 30ft V bottom with a single 502 cid MerCruiser 500 HP. Factory II was 30-40 ft with (2) 502 cid MerCruiser 500 HP's. The classes were great and growing like... |

| :D It was the prop. and we lost an ear in the spring of 1988, and could never quite duplicate the original. We never ran as well after we lost the prop. Your right about the light boats up in Dunnville. We were all stuck with heavy boats to meet APBA weight requirements. Oh well! We still had a blas... |

That was the FJ class. I had a 16 ft Checkmate with a Merc 1250BP. Hope you doing well and can make a race thi... |

| I recall to no power trim rule. They changed that in 1987 or 88. It seemed it was usually a dogfight between Steve Huff, Todd, and Jim Starky. Todd and Jim would swap finish positions, but Steve using that factory Merc 650XS and light Delta always had the edge. We had a blast. I was running SE, whil... |

 Ahhh, the good old days. Todd was 16 years old in that race running a 14ft Allison, while everyone else ran 13 ft Deltas, Critchfields, Voodoos ETC. Hard to beleive that was 30 years ago. |

| :) Hi Don, I think you could rebuild a 4 stroke and get better power by cutting the heads, then re flashing the ECU with greater fuel delivery, and modified advance curve.
