Beautiful!

Hey! Thanks bro! Glad you saw this. The Phantom is absolutely a solid choice for a first FW Flip boat. I’ve only got about 6 rides on it and I already feel like I’ve been riding it for years. I jumped on my buddies FX1 , and I had FX’s 20 yrs +, I couldn’t believe how much I had to turn the bars...

Never did this conversion myself but couldn’t you mount your FX mid shaft, you know that will work dimension wise if you’re not changing motor mount location, and set your new tunnel fore and aft to work with a pre 08 pump shaft? Or does that put the pump too far back?

What mid shaft are you using, FX or SJ?

Always used the plastic nozzle w/ trim from the X2. Worked out best with the FX steering cable.

In my FX1/Kawi 140 pump swaps I wound up using setback OEM SXR 800 impellers. On my 701 B pipe motors they gave pretty good all around performance ( surf, creeks).

x2 on that! No replacement for displacement!

Some good bones here!

I‘m wondering what configuration the new 5.0’s are. Windsor based? Our ‘02 F250 5.4 was a pia, spit 2 different spark plugs right out of the threads. Both b4 100k.

Nice!

Excellent Splice !

And an update on my Plan A primer. It works friggin great.

I also addressed what set in motion this entire failure chain, the shifting turf pad. My original just sat in the contact area, using hope and a wish to stay put. I made a new one that is held in place by the mounting bolts. And a cushion for contact area on the top of the tank.

I am happy with the hard mount strap. I really thought it was going to be the weak link but has held up well so far. Each time a Roto popped at no time did the tank contact anything ( PFP pipe, flywheel cover or h2o box).

I also addressed the bolt issue by using long bolts as "studs"with nuts that I run in finger tight and back off a 1/4 b4 tighting the nuts while holding the bolt with an allen. And of course there is no room so I have to use a crow's foot to tighten the nut.

So, getting more serious about this I wound up scrubbing the attach points with acetone, blotting it up multiple times. THEN I used a ball stone on the Dremel to make the attachment area look like the surface of a golf ball. My Roto's popped off clean so I 60 gritted the bottoms and re-epoxied...

Update to the hard mounted tank. It's been a learning experience for sure. All 3 of my Roto's popped off. No fault of the Roto's though. I believe my fiberglass was contaminated, used boat, I'm sure lots of premix and oils and silicones sloshed around that bilge for a while. I should've taken...

Kind of figured you seen that one.

What a helpful guy, seems to have everything.

Yeah pretty much the consensus on Chev/GMC. Between the Chev/GMC, and Ford , gonna come down to best deal bs, (trade , price, etc.)
