YEAH!! I LIKE IT!!

YEAAH! WOOO!!! ( guess I'm up till sunrise now ....) YEAH!! :D

I'm going to invent an anti EPA engine. The goal is to cause the most emissions & use more fuel than any engine in history. I want it to smoke like a heavily loaded mechanically injected diesel. I shall unfurl it at the earth day parade! :idea: :D

Over the past eight months we have been building several Limousine Tenders for large private yachts. The 34' epoxy-fiberglass tenders are powered with Volvo inline six cylinder 370hp. diesel inbord/outboards. The white hull limo-tender was just launched this past week and went through several days of sea trials. The boat will carry 12 passengers and 2 crew with a top speed of 36.5 knots (41.5mph). I will post several pics.....

I was thinking the same thing. I thought we struck gold going for a ride in my dad's "little" 21' Sea Fox when he first bought it 2 years ago .... until we got on the water and looked around at all the bigger, better, faster boats all around. :lol: I ain't complainin' - I've been riding in much worse on land without money to even fuel the piece of junk. Just the fact that my poor ass has even been in a boat, I'm thankful for that.

But I REALLY want to go on THAT boat! :D toothy

Nice work Eddie - those things are MINT!!

The reason I trust them is because they back up their product with tests, white papers, etc.. and they ENCOURAGE you to send your own oil samples out for a lab test, either through them, or whoever. If the stuff is ruining your engine, the lab will pick up on it & tell you exactly what is failing, and why it's failing. If the lubricant sucks, they'll tell you that too.

When I first started selling the stuff, my brother bought a bunch of it for his Duramax. He's got it all tricked out, and it puts out around 600 ft.lbs. right to the ground. I told him he could run that oil for 15,000 miles ... and he didn't believe me ... so he sent a sample to a lab at 10k miles. They told him the oil looked (by "looked" I mean all the additives where there) just as good as any fresh oil does. They also found high levels of silica in the oil, which indicated his air filter was a piece of *censored*. Wouldn't have known that otherwise! 8-)

Here's some old iron I picked up this spring. I haven't had time this summer to work on it any, but I'm itching to get it on the road. Love those old Dodge trucks!
