| I happen to trip over this video by mistake. As a GM muscle car guy from the 1960’s I played with a lot of small block Chevy motors. I always thought the 400 cu. inch motor should have been the best one. The cooling system and the crank shaft were the issues. The 302 and 1970 350 LT1 solid lifter mo... |

| I’ve always wondered if there was a better material other than aluminum to make pontoons. We’ve had a few high performance big outboard horsepower pontoon boats on our lake.

| This Aussie gentleman loves to mess with a lot of small hp motors. He modifies them with similar ideas used by others on much larger outboards. The has come up with several of his own ideas. This video shows his transom mount water pickup, his reworked gearcase among other things. The view of the ge... |

| A few takeaways from the video. - I never thought of margarine as a release agent for fiberglass on wood.
