  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 12 มิ.ย. 2022
  • In Episode 198 of Mike Finnegan's Garage we make a big push to finally get my wife's 21ft Eliminator Daytona jet boat read to rip the lake. We've got less than a week to make it run and then water test this rocket before I leave on a cross country roadtrip family vacation. This video will show you the Holley Dominator Electronic Fuel Injection system, Earle's Speedflex fittings and hoses, Speedwires relay/switching system, and some trick Motion Raceworks goodies like the stainless steel wastegate mounts. Special thanks to Kelvy Limon for dropping by to wire the entire boat and get the Texas Speed 427 LSX engine fired up for the very first time.

    Game Over was awesome because it’s over the top styling and motor and turbos just everywhere. This boat is awesome in the polar opposite kind of way. Everything so clean and compact in a “beware of the quiet one” style. Plus the hull lines and color scheme are beautiful.

    I've heard you talking about back purging many times before. Thank you for showing this example of sugaring and explaining the significance. I thought it was just for a cleaner stronger weld. Knowing why it's needed and the particular metals is nice. Thanks for how in depth you go with all of your videos.
