I love the build pics with beer in them! You never fill jipped drinking a Guinness Black? That 11.2 ounce bottle just feels wrong to me! Haha!

I would recommend setting the pipe up so that the flanges on the head pipe and the chamber line up. Also, you may want to put a support pad under the exhaust tube to the water box. My buddy Schultz helping me out, he ended up bending my bracket from the flywheel case cover to the chamber mount with coupling flanges being flush. The only reason I say this is mine kept popping off. I don't mean to say anything if you already have that figured out. Nice boat, I hope the build goes easy for you!

yeah i took a long time lining up this chamber and making sure everything was right before the start of the season....i only had one problem all year and the clamp came loose and caused an oily mess....but other than that the chamber works great, no complaints....

Cool, nice to get some good feedback. My chamber seemed to hit pretty hard too. Maybe next year I will have enough cash to get a
Power Factor and compare the two. Keep up the good work!

Are you riding surf or flat with it? Also how much room is there to move the ebox up on the firewall and install a recessed front foothold under it? Seem doable in your opinion?
looks good!
 
there is tons of room on the fire wall....i would say yes there is enough room for the front foot hold....but i ride mostly flat water, surf is only a few times a year.....

There is definitely enough room for a front foothold. I am hoping to put one in my boat over the winter.
