    3.4m PuddleHopper

    Great wee two seater or three if a bench seat is put in it, generally powered by either a 2.0L turbo subaru motor or a V6 mustang motor, 7.5" SDM jetunit, quick, very nimble and a lot of fun.

    Just tested the new 4.65 Sport with 6L carbed and MSD ignition on the SDM852, There are some changes with this hull that make it trim up higher than the others...in short the hull is awesome and dosent feel like a big boat.
    The motor is good but we are only running a conservative timing curve until its done some more work, With the MSD we can also fit a map sensor and tune the timing to give more bottom end and mid range which we will do once it has done a couple of hrs. Im impressed with the MSD and would far rather it over the FAST system (comp cams)
    At present the performance down low (throttle response) is not as good as the injected motors but once the 2nd dairy s kick...its off like a robbers dog..or whores drawers whichever you prefer.
    I doubt the fuel consumption will be as good as the injected motor but man the sound is awesome :mrgreen:

    I have done some tuning with the LS364 (carbed motor) I fitted my dry pipe and O2 sensor and borrowed a jet board.....It took a bit but I got it pretty good considering its a carb. Adjusting the power valve and accelerator pumps were the hardest. The up shot is that it is pulling the same revs as the injected LS2 (maybe slightly better) and throttle response is now good but not as good as the injected motors....but all round its not a bad option for the ones that want the carb option.

    These are rated at 440hp and on the dyno the LS2 produces 425hp So i think the LS 364 is rated about right.
    The LS2 has injectors that run out at 430hp where as the L98/L76 have the same injectors as the LS7 and will run to over 550hp

    Here is a custom 4m, and a 4.45 with short nose.
    The green paint is very cool as it changes colour in different light and is full of fleck. another top paint job by Gouldy
