hydrolift lynx 22

[Lars T]

Both engines had been submerged - I believe only one of them were able to run, Tmmy made them both run perfectly again.. So in the end I guess he made a pretty good deal

Like LarsT sad - they are both rebuild but no one of them did work
i got them in boxes separatet

they got new cranks rods bearings oilpumps starters wriringhardness, seals and a lot small things + 1 - pulsercoil, 1 - starter relay box and a lot of work over 100 hours.
so it has bin a challenge, but i like that. and now they run like new ones.

both motors has only 88 hours on them before i rebuild them so now they have bin runnig maximum 90 hours.
so i got a nice set of engines.

Sounds good with the stepwise setup changes.

Your Lynx is great boat withs loads of potential.

lets keep in touch in case you need a helmsman for a future run

People usually consider a dunked engine as scrap by the time all the electrics etc have been replaced - costs more than a new dressed powerhead. Did it work out economic to repair them or was it a labour of love?

i got 2 "new" engines for half price of one but did not pay for the work as you know.

the price for a motor in Denmark is about half the price in USA.

we have tax duty toll charge yes everything is taxed here.

a car has a vehicle registration fee at 180% here

i got a used 40000mph on the clock Dodge ram 1500 5,7 hemi from 2003 for $42000(price in Denmark)

thats the same prise as a new ram viber V10 cost in USA dammit!!!!

so i am happy with my engines.

all most 95 mph.



but i need some 34" props. to many rpm.

Hello Tommy

95 Mph on GPS is very good, especialy considering it was on your second testrun !
I thought it went very well when I was with you on the first testrun at 85 MPH.

What kind of propellers do you plan on putting on as 34's ?

Are there anybody here with more info or experience with the british Lynx hull ?
