Re: 318/392 Stroker Motors

Blue Sky back in the water, port engine repaired. Mechanic ran it she turned 4100 rpm with throttle left, not sure on the speed. New bottom paint and the 4 blade props installed. She is pretty stripped presently. Give me few days to sort out minor issues and will post engine rpm/speed numbers.

Re: 318/392 Stroker Motors

Most of the marinas on Norris Lake have 93 octane fuel made by Phillips 66. I believe they call it valvetech. It has no ethynol. Thanks for all the comments! Starboard engine is still running great.
