Now this pic is kinda bragging.....These are the ONLY custom marker lights made by BlueWater and I have to thank CR Customs for this one. newbielink:http://s1183.photobucket.com/user/Fishface1911/media/Boat%20pics/GEDC0069_zps85366e41.jpg.html [nonactive]

Really like the lights close to the floor in the cockpit area.
I do a ton of night fishing in the summer months and I use as little light as possible, but I could see something like those lights being pretty useful.

Red light district?
Actually, if you know Jimmy you know the affinity with red lights. That boat is one of the nicest tin boats you'll ever fish from. I can't wait for this spring and breaking in the new horses.

When we are done, there will be a complete CD of pics of the rebuild and modds. With all the lambeth(sp) rings needing to be replaced on the crankshaft @ about 70-80 bucks each I will have to put the Big bore throttle body on hold until after the break-in buts its still on the drawing board. We are hoping to push this motor into the 220-230HP by the end of the build. Next year in the off season...............Its Hull work time.

Seriously? 220-230 HP out of a 150? That's a serious HP increase!! What's your boat rated for anyway?

From what I understand 80hp is no big deal from the 2.6L yamaha's. This is the same block, pistons, crank and internal parts that the 200/225hp OX66 use. With the ECM re-flash from Simmon's to a 200/225 and the block porting/matching. Throttle body spacer, reeds, Tuner, gets you to about 210-215HP.(Stage 1 goal) After installing the Big Bore throttle body we should be close to the 220-230 mark we are shooting for.(Stage 2 goal)
My boat is rated for a 200HP.

What year are your boat and motor?
My G3 is a 2007. The outboard is the same. It's a 150 with carbs, not EFI.
