The Romans moved water hundreds of miles via arches...nothing stronger than an arch.

i really appreciate helping me out posting pictures, i havent quite figured it out yet...lol, i have a few new pictures on my picasa web album.
ive got a " P " pump in the cabin cruiser and one in my truck, keeping my eyes open for one to swap into the aquasport... just missed a nice one when i bought this one, it went for $1200... my source will let me know when they get another one in, but realistically, the 160 hp engines with VE pump will get you an extra 100 hp for free with hand tools. motor homes had some VE pump engines rated at up to 230 hp from the factory.

I may have missed it in one of your post, but what material did you make the tunnel out of? Or is it being used as a form to mold the tunnel in place? Sorry for asking if you all ready posted it.

All the west cost commie boats are sweet. Check out Wilson, Radon, Davis(now Davidson) and Anderson boats. Solid workhorses.

the tunnel was formed over 1/8" fiberglass shower board, the minimum was 8 layers of 7108 biaxial with some areas re-enforced with more layers. early on, the subject was brought up about the risk of the stuffing box running dry, i have not encountered that problem in the past, tunnel or no tunnel, there will be a " ventury" effect where the shaft log/ prop shaft enters the water, i have always used teflon packing and keep my box fairly loose and have never had any shaft damage.
new pictures have been posted on my picasa album

slow going this week, motor is in for good and bolted down, working on the shaft strut now. been over 110 degrees every day this week and by the time i get home at 4 pm after a 10 hr work day ( 12 away from home ) im kind of beat and can only deal with the heat for an hour or so as the boat is outside in the sun...
should have the strut done by this week end and i can start on the controls and fuel tank.
