Hey Zach, love the videos and great job, another suggestion, I know the cushions will help deaden the noise, but I think adding another sound dampening material would be pretty easy with those flat surfaces and would keep the noise down, there seem to be many available waterproof materials, and would make music and conversations better.

Boat looks and sounds great, Zach !

Merry Christmas! Great vid as always.

Merry Xmas to you and yours Zach!

incredible content bro. literally put on a class throughout the series. sorry to see you stopped uploading.

I’ve watched about 4 hrs of these videos I was offered one of these boats and after carful consideration I’ve decided to take on the rebuild may god have mercy on my soul

Merry Christmas Zach

Hey Zach, another Zach here, just a quick suggestion, not sure if you were going to relocate those two handles or not, but it would be more convenient to get out of the water if you put another handle on the back by the ladder, may need more fiberglass reinforcement, but it seems you have plenty.

Merry Christmas! 🥂🎄🎉

Suena bastante bien, en proceso

Merry Christmas！！

Merry Christmas! The foil really worked good eh! Did it cause a lot of extra drag?

When I had the trim as high as you can safely go at idle it wasn't a huge noticable difference in drag, just a little more. I kind of was hoping it would slow it down some because I have to the have my idle on the high side

As always great content. I have the same one on my Mercruiser 3.0. Faster plane and turn. Great for pulling tubes or whatever. What size and type propeller are you using? Have a Merry Christmas and New Years

Hey Zach, I'm also wondering what pitch you're using for your prop?

Hi, ive rebuilt Mercarb. Can You make a video how to make adjustments on the water Please?

I’ve spent hours watching this you have to give us the final product man !

I also found the foil made my 3.0 plane out better, until the cav plate broke at the two bolt holes. The plate is not really made to handle the added load of the fin. I found equal planing performance by going to a 4 blade aluminum prop, michigan vortex. Just drop down in pitch an inch from three blade.

Any chance you want to do a video on adjusting the shift cables? I am struggling with that one!

I've thankfully not had to adjust the shifting cables on mine, but maybe I can look into that at some point

Not sure yet, water is a bit too cold right now lol

Crazy how I know the ramp you launched from and the lake you were on just from this short video

what do you consider "pretty cold"? We were out this past weekend in 0 Celsius (32 F) and a snow storm... It was amazing, but I would take your "cold day" ANY day of the week!

And one question, what does Hydrofoil do?

@ZachsGarage1

Supposed to help the prop from cavitating if you don't have it trimmed down enough, also helps to plane out faster

Hydro Floyd!

@@ZachsGarage1 OK. That's the drawback with mercrusiers. They loose alot of hp thru the stern drive compare to an outboard. That boat may be a little bigger wider heavier but a johson 90hp outboard rigged to it may be a few mph less but better shot out the hole & mpg for a 1.6l verses that 3.0l.

Hey Zach. Been messaging you on Instagram with no response. Headed your way soon.
