Major lessons learned. When putting a V-12 into a mahogany boat, make sure the propeller rotation matches the engine rotation. For a short time, I had the fasted boat in reverse ever recorded in the area. Since it is a water environment, change out the Lucas wiring. Increased water cooling in the exhaust jackets would be nice, discovered after my deck began to smoke. Even with short trial runs, bring a large reserve gas can. AAA cards won't work on the water. As my driveway attests, Jag engines, sitting still in any vehicle, look grand, and even better tied to the dock. At speed..., well, remember lesson one. A boat is a hole in the water into which you throw dollars. With a Jag engine, add British sterling. With working ignition, add yen. Uffda.
