Boats back at the shop for the 25 hour break in.

Fuel consumption is around 2.0 nm/gal at cruise doing 4000 rpms - 20-22 knots pending sea conditions, better than I thought itd be.

Garmin connection got worked out, I have rpms, knots, temp, oil pressure, fuel consumtion and fuel flow, and engine hours.

The shop nailed the exhaust, two long pipe mufflers about 4 ft long to dual exhaust out the back has an awesome sound at lower rpms, not obnoxius at higher rpms. Good balance between wanting that nice sound but not sounding like a drag boat.

John,

Glad to hear you are up and running. I must be way over propped with my 16 x 17.
cruise @ 23kts @ 3400 rpm. Have any pictures of the dual muffler setup? I would pull a few spark plugs and inspect closely for any signs of reversion if you have not already done so just to be sure. The exhaust on these inboard run close the static waterline.

I don't have any pictures of the install under the deck. I can try and take some pictures this weekend and get a picture of the dual exhaust out the back.

Once we got the engine in the boat, we looked at the riser height in comparison to the water line. We played it safe, 4" extensions were added to the risers. Unfortunately this did not help with the console fitting issues, but well worth the piece of mind.

I've been bad with remembering the pictures, but my friend snapped this picture tonight.

Did you raise your console? Do you have starboard/PVC around the bottom of the console? Your T-top is also mounted to the console? Do you have more pics of the console and top? Interested in the console closed, side and front view.
Thanks!
I'm in the process of restoring a 76 inboard.
