I have been working like a mad man to get this thing on the water for the Three lakes race in WI. I had some issues with the steering pulleys that Transomstand was able to help me out with-Thank you. After that I dropped the 280 on and fired it up Thursday at work and ran it for a bout 15 min in our test tank but didn't have my shifter made yet so I just idled it and checked everything over. After work on Sat I made my shifter and brackets. Back in the test tank again for about 10 minuets before it started to rain. Everything looked fine so I went to the lake with it sat and again on Sunday and put about a hour on it before finding I have a fuel delivery issue. I'm running a single -8 fitting from the bottom of the sump tank to a Yamaha 10 micron filter then to the pump all fuel lines are 1/2". It was starving for fuel at 5000 rpm so I switched to a merc filter and the starvation moved to 7000 tonight, I guess I will try a aromotive filter next. Anyways so far with the 30 pitch offshore cut I have been able to hit 83mph at about 7000 after about a hour and a half break in time. The boat handles great and is real comfortable to cruse at 75, I just can't wait to get a little more time on it this week.

Shifter and bracket.



Yes it's dirty as heck.
