heres a lil peach i found and bought today. 1969 Schiada 16' 355 SBC 10:1 rv cam berk B-pump. all O.G. including the upholstery.The plans are to either throw some towels over the seats and use it this season, or see if i can get a deal and re structure the seating configuration. carpet is high on the list. funds are low but shes a runner! the gel is in pretty damn fine condition since it is a 40 year old boat. the glass in the floor is gorgeous. has stainless tanks.
i do need to replace the cables though. i gotta figure out what model morse they are.
forgive my ignorance, but i have never seen a pump nozzle like the one i have. its got like some scoop deal where the fin normally goes. anyone shed some light on that? also i got a extra set of edelbrock exhaust with it.

hey deggo, Nice boat...I say if it's a runner, hold the towels to the seats with bungees and run it this season...JG pump and that scoop thing is the reverse bucket.
p-jet
-
Sweet peice.....different
-
I like it, that's a cool little find. Congrats ;)
Nothing wrong with a small block either, they run well and sip fuel like a fine Tennesee sippin whiskey.. :sly:
FWIW, i have a nozzle that will work a little better on that badboy if your not planning for a Place Diverter for a while.... 8)
GT
-
GT, you are alright!!!oh and I have a new large aluminum rudder for it too!!!
-
interested in the nozzle, hows it work better? im new to owning jets, since its been a whole 8 hours owning one. im coming from a childhood of whackers so i will probably have a few questions.
Were taking name suggestions as well.
brown trout... ole lady says no way
then she came up with "east bound and brown" anyone see the show on hbo?
-
Carefull with that GT, he'll have you driving your shit up a creek somewhere. :o :o

Those nozzles there have a bunch of material hanging down and experience some drag, the later ones are shorter, you will lose a little reverse action, but worth it in the long run...I will get a pic of it tomorrow night.
I will give it to you if you want it, just gotta get it to you...I would be willing to bet that there are a hundred of the later JC, JG nozzles down your way... :sly: (Everybody puts Place Diverters on their boats)......A boat that short may not benefit from a rudder..... ??? ;D
Forgot to mention the best way to budget for a new boat, everytime you have cash in your pocket, take all the bills under a $20 and give it to the boat :banghead:.
GTCarefull with that GT, he'll have you driving your shit up a creek somewhere. :o :o
;)
-
cool, good info. so is it just cut down? i can do that, i'm a metal fab guy. ill take the one off your hands, price is right! i'm not too worried about a rudder, everyone i know used to have one till they hit the bottom at the river. everyone says they're only good when docking etc. i don't plan on docking the boat much.
-
the starter seems to drag a little, its got the big ole 454 starter, anyone use a hi torque mini? wheres a good place to get one?
-
Well heres what i got done today
Got a new wiring light kit for the trailer
Got a new 2'' hitch to weld on the trailer instead of 1-7/8"
Got a new strap for the winch
Ordered a new steering kit and forward reverse cables. thanks tom
Ordered a tiki shifter knob
got carpet and upholstery samples
started removing the spray paint from the headers.
does anyone know if you can polish and then powdercoat clear the exhaust logs, or will they yellow?
Still got a ton of work to do!
-
Your name wouldn't happen to be Kevin and own a Raptor would it? Just curious, similar screen name...
-
Why yes it is, yours still turboed
-
Why yes it is, yours still turboed
Yup... hope to see yah out at the river one day, or maybe a race ;)
-
I was just offered a hot rodded Raptor for $3k today. Not sure what it is, but my son sure lit up when I mentioned it over dinner?
Ray
oh and welcome, good looking ride. I'll keep the brown comments to myself.....(Brad nearly banned me over the last ones). But sweet looking boat!
-
Yup... hope to see yah out at the river one day, or maybe a race ;)
you ever gonna come up to big river? pretty much dont go anywhere else
-
you ever gonna come up to big river? pretty much dont go anywhere else
Not really, I live only 100ft from the River in Bullhead ;D But when I do go out someplace else, it's usually the best section of the Colorado... Martinez ;)
-
them theres fightin words! hahaha
-
them theres fightin words! hahaha
I'm sure Big River isn't out of the question though ;D Same stretch as Parker right?
-
Hey Kevin... I have the old nozzle and reverse bucket off my pump that I'll give you. As for the mini hi-torque, there is a guy in Parker that builds them. I've got his card at home I'll PM you when I find it. As for the logs and snails, if you wanna drop the coin to polish them a clear p-coat them it will hoild up fine. My luck with clear p-coat in the sun is that it will eventually start to turn, but like anything else you spend the time doing a little up keep and you should be able to keep it looking good for a long time.
As for a name... Bo named mine "The Little Brown Jug." Since it won't be brown when I'm done I'll let you assume the rights to the name.
Let me know if I can help with anything.
-
Hey brian, I think gt has got me set on the nozzle. I'm gonna mess with the starter tomorrow and see if she quits stickin on me. I'm welding the hitch on this weekend, and havin a buddy of mine check out the wiring and stereo Sunday. Got alot of work to do before next weekend
-
What happened to the V-Drive with the Mopar in it? That's the way to go ;D
-
Pops bailed on the father son project, so I sold it. Sold it for cheaper than the motor was worth

Bastard! :mad:

Eh shit happens, I'm stoked on my jet
-
brad, i think we might need to move this to the project forum, ha! today i had quite the busy afternoon.
started off scraping off the ungodly sealer, silicon whatever it was off the transom, and resealed it with silicone. i think it looks alot better.
Oh yeah heres a tip: old credit cards from thieving banks work good to smooth out silicone. i used wamu since they raised my rate from 8% to 31% for no reason

BAMF Tom!!! thanks for the pix, and the parts, ill be ordering some angle bezels and a bilge switch from you soon, any chance of getting that in anno brown? lol. ill have more pic up this weekend.

Mine is painless ;)
-
Pm me the specs tom, I am interested in the setup
-
question on the steering rack, do the teeth on the opening in the rack box face the floor or the underside of the bow, or does it even matter?
-
Yes it does, more than one person on this site has installed it upside down and had the steering reversed. Don't remember which is the correct way though, I want to say on top of the steering gear.
Call Tom or search other posts here for it. The info is here, just no time to search it out for ya.
Ray
I lied, found it for ya

-
On a jet the cable exits to the left and the rack mounts to the of the pinion , Very rarely the cable will run to the right and changes this Tom
-
ya I knew which way thecable goes but my question was referring to the pinion, which I may have installed upsidedown, at least it isn't fully installed yet, thanks for the help
-
Pops bailed on the father son project, so I sold it. Sold it for cheaper than the motor was worth
You dident happen to sell the boat to a tall skinny guy named Rod did you?
-
Yep he got a smokin deal
-
hit 2 snags today.
first i was beginning to finish the rack install and found out i need a new steering wheel adapter, quick call to tom got me setup.
2nd snag isnt so good. turns out the passenger side gas tank decided to start seeping. also tuns out the stainless gas tanks arent actually stainless, i was wondering why they were painted. im thinking about trying some of that epoxy stuff they use in motorcycle gas tanks, anyone ever used this stuff?
-
what steering arm do i need to get?
(https://www.socaljetboats.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi15.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fa376%2F00s-ten00%2F69%2520schiada%2FIMG_0331.jpg&hash=02d6669c288f5ce0b08b75df40012e81759cecf9)

That one LOL, what's wrong with the one you have? I have both designs, the one you have uses a 43C cable for the reverse gate, the otheres use a 43BC (the B stands for bulkhead)..
GT
-
tom sent me the bulkhead cable instead of the one that clamps like mine is setup. got an extra arm gt?

Yes I do...
PM sent
-
FWIW, you will need; tiller (gotcha covered), bucket (gotcha covered), short king pin(gotcha covered), I also have a later nozzle for ya ;), but you may need the hinge pin and the cable end hardware for the bucket to attatch to the cable if I don't find an extra one... :-\
Keep you posted!
GT
-
you are the man!!! ;D ;D
-
If your wanting to get by till you get the updated arm simply make a small "L" Bracket to Screw to the arm (strap screws) with a large mounting hole for the bulhead style cable connection anchor !

good idear tom.
today i got the gunnel tank out and it was a tiny lil pinhole. so after much debate i went and got some jb weld. slathered that shit all over the area of the pinhole. jb says on their website that it can withstand gas, so i figure i will try it. i just dont have time to make tanks right now.
i got my shifter knob in, and got that all painted up. and i started putting the lights on the trailer. tomorrow after the good ole jb is setup, i will throw some gas in to see if she holds, if everythings all good, i will throw some mat on where i cut to tab it back in.
im hoping to make my deadline and be on my way out to the river friday morning. i gotta get some tires.
-
Hey Kev- that thing is bad ass- cant wait to see in the water- my buddy has a 21 river cruzer with similar colors and he went with black switches and bezels and it looks so f n classy- I have the stock nozzle,fin, rev bucket and off my dominator- if you want it it is all yours, it has the tiller arm and all the shat- if you need a hand with anything let me know- just up the road- how was riches dealio??? bummed I couldnt make it-
-
thank bo, when you guys headin out? i hear you on the black, my boat already has a black pinstripe. we had a good time at riches. i will take you up on that if i run into a snag. will the dominator stuff work on the berk? (new guy)? if so then i will just get your stuff bo and save gt the trouble of sending that stuff out to me.either way its cool to be offered free parts. this board is the shit! everything went good today. got the jb welded tank dried up, put some gas in it and hooked up the air compressor to it, no leaks, so i glassed it back in. then mounted the shifter up. went to west marine, got a battery switch for dual batteries, and got a bilge with float switch. call it overboard but now ill be running dual bilges. whats the best way to mount the bilge pumps, i dont want to screw into the floor, epoxy?

do you think id have room for a bench with buckets?

-
one other thing, im missing the little barrel bolt to connect the fwd/rev cable to the shifter, anyone know a common place to get one?
-
Gotcha on the "barrle bolt" , re the seats "Brown duct tape" ?? BTW that shifter TIKI is "KILLER" love it !
-
Thanks again tom, I've been telling everyone I know with boats about you.
Today I mounted the bilges, and made 2 panels that go by the front seats to hold speakers. It's coming together, can't wait till Friday
-
That thing is coming togather nicely- I think that the dominator stuff will switch- If you want to come get it and try it you are more than welcome to- it is sittin in my garage taking up space- I dont think we are gonna make it out till first of June- my barge is in bad shape, and puck's is not far off, but he'll have me beat- fiberglass buckets would look sick in that thing- when is the first trip with it???
-
Friday mornin! Goin out alone, ole ladys gotta work. I'm anxious to see how it all goes. Gt hooked me upwith all the jet parts already, but I appreciate it. Dude June? That blows. What spot are u guys in? We moved up to the row you were on. Tomorrow I hope to button everything up.
-
update, yesterday
i got tires for the trailer
re wired and installed the new bilge and switch, so now i have 2 @ 360gph
mounted the speaker panels
made battery cables and wired up the battery isolation switch.
siliconed the trailer wires to the trailer on the inside
today i have to make some battery mounts, temporary till i can afford those fancy billet mounts.
finish up some wiring, test everything out
then clean the inside and outside of the boat.
tonight i work at 6pm, brown truck doesnt get here until about 7pm usually. so its a long wait for parts.
i got gt's freebies coming today and toms parts coming as well. im leaving friday morning to the river. cutting it close.
-
While I was at work tonight my stuff from gt and tom got here, if it wasn't for you guys, I wouldn't be going this weekend! Thanks Again! If you guys ever find your way down to big river lemme know, cold ones on me.
I'm leaving at 5 am tomorrow morning >:D
-
How large is the bank account. I've seen us drink, lol
Ray
-
Right now there really isn't one.. Nickel and diming. Shit all adds up I usually buy 3 30 packs for myself at the river for one weekend, that doesn't include all the jäger
-
Today could not have gone any BETTER!!!! Everything went perfect!!

Lol, OH YEAH! I get it. Tried to keep a file on the Moo project with every receipt and a ledger on the front to keep track of what I had in it, yeah, after a week I said Fuggit because it was, A: Too time consuming, and B: Depressing to think I sank that much into it in such a short period of time, lol. (even kept beer receipts when I had help). I'm a P&L sorta guy, and that sheit was a downer! ;D
Actually I think I'm still on the black side of it, even more so when we lose the "Dark" side running the economy. A lot of what was not used on the Moo, or came off it, will find it's way into the Blue one and the Yellow Submarine.
Looks good what you've done, and done in VERY short time, I'm impressed!
I vote brown duct tape on the seats for now and call it good. (FWIW, I have a very clean set of brown seats in my BLUE boat that I dunno WTF I'm gonna do this winter about (They gotta GO), but no where near the configuration you have currently)
Ray
-
3 30 packs ?? Lightweight :D
-
today was another great day, no problems at all, I have pics To post when I get back! Couldn't be going better!!! I'm getting the hang of driving the jet. Left turns are very sketchy , but right turns at planted and flat. I'm so stoked
-
3 30 packs ?? Lightweight :D
Lol yeah, sumpun like that, Tom, but more like 6 or 7 I think, ;D More than that if you count the yard work I hired out to spend more time on the boats, ::)
These "Skilled workers" are getting expensive!

oh and the brown ductape can only be found on the internet.
friends out there also got me ropes and towels, and one helped me change out the nozzle, fill the pump oil, greased the pump shafts and re tightened the stuffing box so my boat wasnt filling with water.
-
How about "A lil 69"
I had planned on using it for a personalized license plate for my 69 Camaro before I sold it.
-
Oh wow that's cool, lol
Ray
-
Lookin good, but you gotta ditch that pink zip tie, it stands out like an SOB.
-
lol already did to put the cover on the boat. my buddy said dont worry, he has more of em lol.
forgot to add, she runs a solid fifty. thats seat of the pants run, ill gps er in 2 weeks.
friday, i ran it out and a buddy that used to race said it was running very wet and couldnt even see the keel. so we pulled off the step'n'trim tabs off the back and she lifted way out of the water. im getting better steering, as its not bow steering anymore. alot less twitchy and more predictable. felt like it picked up a couple mph as well.
-
Nice lookin float you got there. ;) I especially like the looks of your brown bimini top. Was that something that came with the boat or did you add it? I've been looking for the right one for my boat but some of them look just funky. All together, very nice work and a good job documenting it. Got more pics?
-
Times 2 on the zip tie ;) Call me I'll get ya hooked up with the "double throw down" JBP thru hull cable seal (thru hulls and OEM threads) Tom

-
the bimini came with the boat, it's a nice thick one. Thanks for the compliments it was some work but I'm stoked. It still needs some things here and there but the wife said I can't spend anymore til the season is over.
Tom we shoulda went with the 12' cable, oh well. I'll hook up with you on some more parts when I get my allowance back LOL.
Hopefully I'll have some pix of me driving it today.
-
this was before i took off the trim tabs, ill try to get pix of it with them off. what do you think, scared of flipping it over its running so dry!!! lol

You need to air it out, odds of flippin are pretty high, lets get ya some trim , needs to be runnimg on the last 30 " Tom

yeah tom i know, i was being totally sarcastic. mama says trim will have to wait until winter, money is definitly tight.
tom just a heads up, a buddy of mine is redoing his old family boat. its a 74 wriedt maverick. if glenn or kyle call you i sent them your way. first thing they need is a helm kit like i got.
-
took it out this weekend. when i got there friday i did the meguiars 3 stage and am stoked on the results.
found the carb is a 600cfm 4160 series holley.
got a new starter in parker this weekend. all ball bearing hand wound gear reduction for $105 RB performance, guy is super cool and has a great product!!!
went in to launch saturday with a total of 4 people in the boat. got to the water and the bilges didnt work. after 3 hours of chasin it and going to town to get new wiring stuff. just a lil loose connection on the ignition. :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: got on the water everyone had a blast. we didnt have any other issues the rest of the weekend. O0
im going out this weekend, i decided im not launching the boat. it will be too busy and allows me to get some work done on the boat. my buddy is gonna rebuild the carb and im gonna try to church up the motor a bit. it needs a little tlc. or maybe some clr. do an oil change and plugs too. anyone run synthetic?
anyone know if a msd box works with a delco hei? my buddy gave me a 6al and a blaster coil. and where should i mount the thing?
(https://www.socaljetboats.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi15.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fa376%2F00s-ten00%2F69%2520schiada%2FIMG_0375.jpg&hash=ab69682176519b8cf725dec6dd615c856ae541f3)

Yes the MSD 6al will work with the HEI. I think MSD makes an adapter cover to remove the coil from the cap but I would just get an MSD coil that goes into the stock location.
Glad to hear you had a good run with it.
-
anyone run synthetic?
Yup, but you dun wanna know what it costs, lol.
Joe Gibbs Hot Rod oil. buck twenty five a case.

I already have the freeby blaster coil.
125 a case and I thought mobil 1 fir the harley was bad at 11 a quart

That's actually more expensive if you do the math. The kicker was I ran their break in oil first, which was 100 for THAT case, and to only run it a few hours was crazy, but I did it, lol. Now if I don't figure out where it's leaking from on the pan, this thing's gonna bleed me to death slowly like an ex-wife! >:D (Small leak, but after running the boats as hard and as long as we did sunday, quite a pool of oil in the bilge and it needs about a half qt.)
Ray
-
Naa the harley uses 3 quarts and doesn't leak :P
-
Lol there's the push. But you want GOOD oil, use what I use in the moo. The Blue one uses VR1 50 weight for now. Gonna change this winter when she gets a new engine! (And yeah, I'll figure out the oil leak, just a matter of cat and mouse time!)
We'll figure it all out, now onto the Submarine and the new Hallett, just dunno where I'm gonna go on those, lol

Kevin-
the boat is looking sick, that thing would look bad ass with a set of coated shorties and fiberglass scoop to match- MUY CALIENTE!!!
-
well memorial weekend i rode the harley out, almost got hit (by a guy on the other board) when he decided to run a stopsign. didnt plan to put the boat in at all cuz i kept the ole lady at home. so i pulled the carb off and took it to my buddies house for a rebuild. the jets were so damn clogged im surprised it even ran. got the carb all rebuilt and ran it on the garden hose. way better. also found out the have it setup up as a 2 barrel with the secondaries locked shut. so a new carb is added to the winter list. the winter list is getting very long and expensive. i need jerry lewis to do a tele-thon to raise some boat funds for the winter re-do

check out my alternator bracket. this thing is super custom. O0 O0 O0
gotta get a new alternator. i had to break out the paddle for the first time with the boat. is there a standard bracket that'll work or do i gotta make one?

i had to break out the paddle for the first time with the boat.
i think i saw you at big river over the weekend. i was the passenger in the yellow boat that hit the rock bar!! lol but your sounded good
-
I didn't see anyone hit the rockbar, but I was out there all weekend, was it the rockbar by the houses in front of the island up from the big river mobile home park?
-
yeah the rock bar between the 2 islands. only thing visible was the few weeds growing. guess we were not the only ones to hit it bc the guy that came to help us said he had just helped some one else. lol. only had a few rocks wedged in the impeller. :banghead: gottem out and she ran great!!!!
-
8 of us had to help my buddies wakeboard v-drive off that thing. he center punched it so we had to lift and carry the boat about 30 feet for it to float. if i woulda saw you i woulda helped. i know how it is to have people look the other way. who drives 20 feet off someones bow and then hits the place diverter, when the guy is floating down the river sitting on the bow with a paddle in his hand? i had 6 boats all drive past me while i was paddling and not a single boat stopped. big river is starting to get like every other place on the river.
-
Yeah i have noticed that as well about big river. sometimes i will go up river and float down and get the oar out just to stay away from the edges and for every 5 to go by one will stop.
-
i have been going there for 17 years, it didn't used to be that way out there sadly it looks like its starting to go that way
-
yeah i know what you mean i have been going there for 21 going on 22 yrs. basically i was like a month old when i started going!! lol as long as it doesnt get as bad as the strip i will be happy. big river still has a few that care. and dirty dan is one of those.
-
you hang out with dirt and the crew?
-
one of my friends had to park on his beach once because he sucked up a bunch of weeds and sat around and talked with him for a little then we keep meeting him up at the cove.

Holy chit that alt bracket is forked! That is Kooostom :o

Ray
ray i read on the other board, couple guys were having tossing problems. 1 culprit was the belt not sitting deep enough in the crank pulley, and the other culprit was having the oem pulley on the alt. the pulley was spinning too fast at the rpms we run. worth a shot i guess
-
I'm kinda thinking the same thing. But it stayed on forever until the Hyfire unit fell off the firewall and knocked it off the first time (good thing too, woulda destroyed the hyfire!). The belt flipped inside out and always is when it comes off. Ordered a reduction deep groove crank pulley, any ideas or anyone have a larger deep groove alt pulley layin around? Gonna try a new belt when the pulley gets here, hopefully that'll fix it!

well i finally got back from the river. did alot of stuff while i was out there the last 3 weeks. i painted the exhaust, made a new alternator bracket and got a new alternator. and put on the new to me holley 650. before i put on the carb i gpsed the boat and it ran 55.3 with a full cooler and the bimini on. with the same full cooler and bimini up it ran 58.7 but i had alot of chop which bounced the gps around and shut it off, so i dont know if that was my up river or down river pass. its nice actually having a 4 barrel that functions. i can feel the secondaries kick on. im very happy. next week i am going back out and im gonna put on another intake manifold just to try it.
-
well heres an update.
seems like everytime i go out something else needs fixin.
i jacked the motor up and replaced the flywheel. no more starter drag boat starts great.
couple trips ago the thrust bearing was growling. pulled the pump. this week started disassembling it, great news, the shaft is worn way down and the impeller is toast. found a local "legend" doing work out of his shop. this guy rules! hes sleeving the shaft and putting a new impeller on. the impeller has been cavitated to death. it doesnt look like itll be done before the blythe trip, but it will be done right. along with the new to me impeller, hes putting in a undersized brass wear ring. the impeller i have been running is a standard "A", per his recomendations we are going to a standard "b". with the rebuilt pump its like a dyno and i dont have the horses to turn the impeller.
-
hey im new to all this your boat looks good it has the same lines and shape of my chriscraft xk-18.
-
well heres another update.... about a month ago my buddy gave me a tandem trailer. its in very good condition with nice wheels and tires. it was for a 18". well it turns out that the extra length is awesome, although looks a lil weird. i can actually see the boat in the mirrors now.
got it swapped over onto the trailer

Bro, you're in Dago, head to TJ for some tuck n roll, I've had 3 cars done in TJ, good work, great pricing. My buddy just had his 54 Merc done and it came out bitchin.
-
thats what i was thinking, its not really outsourcing, cuz all the upholstery shops here dont really speak any english either. you got a certain place you go to?
-
you got a certain place you go to?
The shop is called Champion's phone number is 686-11-88 or if you have nextel 152*172220*1 the owner's name is Enrique Romero, son also is the same name son speaks English. It's only a mile or 2 from the border right near the Plaza Rio shopping center. easy to find and get to. You can haggle a little with them as well.
-
that might just be the route i need to go. plus i could get a cheap carton and a bottle of casadores

found a guy in moreno valley to do the interior for a really good price off of craigslist...i hope he does a good job.
started measuring and checking the bottom of the boat. long story short the intake was 3/8'' out of center. a little grinding and fitting, got it centered up. started notching for the rideplate. this took forever. sawzall didnt turn out the way i wanted, so a grinder and beltsander helped to get it right. i painted the motor, and changed the timing cover. pulled the pan and the inside looked great. no metal chunks or shaving. bummed i found out its only a 2 bolt main. the harmonic balancer wasnt looking too good so that got replaced as well.

Excellent work. Those heads have hardened seats? You run lead additive? Anybody else have an issue w/ this?
-
I havent pulled the heads off to verify, i cant see a seat from the exhaust side of things. i run 91 with a little mix of 109 occasionally
-
I think the newer heads have "induction hardened" seats, it's not an actual seat. They put a but load of electricty near the surface to be hardened and it gets super hot instantly right in that area then they prolly quench it something. ANYWAY, the older heads didnt have hardened seats and unleaded fuel kinda lets the valves beat the shit outta the seats. Just wondering if anyone hadda problem w/ this.

my heads are old school camel heads. the previous owner said it had the 2.02 valves in it once again i havent verified

the chrome is starting to go on the manifold, but that can wait till next winter. I gotta quit addin crap to the list and just git er done
-
Busted my freakin ass all weekend and sanded sanded sanded. Filled some lows sanded some more. Did 2 lasts layers of glass on the tank mounts, and this afternoon cleaned the floor up to spray gel. Got the black in the gun and started spraying, then CLOG! Took the gun all apart got it cleaned, started sprayin again. Then the gel starts to light off in the gun... Pull the gun apart again, clean the living crap out of it and then finished laying the black on. Tomorrow the clear and flow coat goes on. Once this gel is done, it feels like I've got to the top of the mountain and the rest is all just downhill from here
-
Got a break in the weather this morning after my 8 am philosophy class so I drove over to my inlaws and laid the clear down, no feed troubles with the gun, but I did get some drips out of the cap of the gun. I have to finish colorsanding the boat anyways so I'll do the floor too. This is the first time I've sprayed anything besides primer. I should stick to welding
before clear

didn't get any pics of the second layer of clear cuz I folded the plastic back over it put the boat cover on it and let it bake
-
Did some colorsanding on the bilge, set the intake and mocked up the gauges and bezels. Matching tach is next on the list. Made a bezel for the bilge pump switch out of a extra stringer washer I ordered

haha, looks like my the same person wired my boat. your ride is coming along, keep the pics coming looks good.

thanks, with so few wires, i dont see how people mess these boats up so bad. i think im going to move the ignition over towards the bilge switch and put a cigarette lighter near the gauges. i dont like the key there now that the angled bezels are on

Meguiar's is your friend in this instance. Start with #9 Swirl Remover 2.0, follow that with #26 Hi Tech Yellow Wax, use Soft Buff 2.0 polishing pad for the #9 and a Soft Buff finishing pad for the wax, trust me I have spent a ton of money buying products to make the Hallett look good, this is by far the best shit I've found. For your aluminum, chrome and stainless, use Zephyr Pro 40 polish with some cloth diapers, the stuff's amazing.
Keep up the good work, and keep up the pics!
-
I'm using t.r. 311 for buffing compound, it's some badass stuff for buffing molds and stuff, then I'm using the polish and wax that comes in the meguiars kit

So? hows she lookin? im in suspence here!

I had someone show me the light about a year ago. Don't get me wrong, I Respect anyone that makes a honest blue collar living, but I also want to have a retirement, and not working on the job sites still when I am 55. I do kinda miss field work a little though.

So being the broke ass boater that I am, I couldn't justify spending 50 bux on enderle's inline linkage for my dual carbs. So I went to the local off road warehouse and picked up some heims, went to home depot and got a little stick of 1/4 aluminum and made a linkage. The heims are 10/32 thread so I loaded a 1/4-28 tap into the tap handle to lathe the 1/4" rod down. Then tapped it to 10/32. 30 seconds on the buffer and I think it'll work.

the heims had studs in them already, so I just need to pick up a couple 10/32 nuts. Heims were 10 bucks and the rod was 3

yesterday i did a little bit of work on the boat. got a bunch of stuff done on the motor. intake is bolted on, distributor is in,got a pertronix for it too. new fuel pump is on and new crank pulley is on. i also finished mounting my transom plate block offs where the steps used to be, installed the pump and transom adapter, sorry about the crappy pics. oh and i found a trick for getting the transom adapter on and still being able to use the bowl o-ring. my father in law had this stuff he got at a pool supply house called magic something, i lubed up the o-ring, then slid the bottom on until i could get 1 bolt in. then i just sat on the ground and pushed the top on with both feet. the transom adapter slipped on so easy, that i decided to do it twice. i forgot the rubber transom gasket the first time.

I hope to be able to drop the motor in this weekend. I gotta get some more misc stuff. I have alot of stuff to do before then. I'm under the gun to get it all done by memorial but my bank account is hurtin awfully bad

Did a lil plumbing this morning, and now i am mounting the tanks in and finishing my mini bottom blueprint.

I don't know if i'm really happy with the lines but I am runnin out of time

-
lookin damn good...i'm trying to cetch up to you man I got no motor no jet....nothing in.
-
as long as you are just putting it back together you should finish before me. it takes alot of time changing everything. i have officially turned ever nut and bolt on my boat.
-
I may be dead wrong here, but are you sure you have your plumbing ran correct? Usually with logs the water comes in off the pump, into the logs, out of the logs to the engine, then out of the engine to the snails. Maybe yours are different, just some food for thought.
-
Funny u should mention that, I have that question up over on the other board. I was runnin the lines the way it was
-
So would it be ok to hook the pump to the bottom feed on the log, keep the lines where they are in the pic, and go from block to snail?
-

I guess bso, but it would be running the water "backwards"
-
You can see on page 4 of this thread the way it was ran by the previous owner. Sonofabitch! That explains why the motor never ran over 120-140

-
stupid question of the day, will it hurt to have the carbs facing the way i do? the secondaries are towards the front of the boat. the reason i mounted them in that direction is it would be a shorter run from the pump to the carbs, and i have a push cable.
-
oh and i picked up my 400$ interior. theres flaws in it but for that price, they are comfy and i can live with them. that price included all the foam and vinyl

Looks good from where I'm sitting!
-
same here, nice :thumbup: :thumbup:

also another dumb question, i see alot of guys make an aluminum "firewall" that goes on the back seat. should i make one or is it mainly reserved for guys that have the bench really close to the motor
-

I wouldn't bother with it, did your guy not cover the back of the seat? If not, get some carpet that matches what's in your boat, put it there and you're golden.

he did but musta ran outta white cuz he used the tan O0 :banghead:

you are in the same boat i was in at the beginning of last season. the beginning of this thread. now i have turned every single nut and bolt on the boat, redone almost every single thing, spent a ton of money, learned some stuff, and what am i left with? i still have a $2500 boat that will be hard to sell if i ever decide to. welcome to the world of jetboating
-
interior guys number please. how long did he take to get it done?
-
Well he originally quoted 2 weeks, like 6 weeks ago, if it hadn't of been so cheap I don't know if I'd be so happy. It was hard to get a straight answer from him sometimes, but all in all I didn't have 1200 for seats and he wrapped mine for 4 with foam so I guess I'd do it again
-
Actually to give the guy credit if mine wasn't full on cutom it would have been quicker. I took him wood seats and got back what you see, he hadn't really done seats like mine before. If you have seats that just need recovering, I'm surre it would come out really clean especially cuz he'd have a pattern
-
You've done an outstanding job on that boat! From what it was to what it is is amazing.
Are you building a new wiring harness or using the old one?

i was fighting a bad case of flashburn, so progress sucked yesterday completely. I did manage to get the pump tapped for the cradle. got the motor to TDC, made my plug wires and set the dizzy. and made a throttle bracket plate that bolts to the front 2 bolts of the carb.
-
bustin ass to get the thing done for wednesday morning departure to the river.
i have 1 hardline left to make.
tomorrow morning i gotta go buy carpet, stop by work trim down the rideplate and make a top strap for the battery box i made. i gotta get a couple fittings for the flexible fuel lines that i'm running to the pump. then when i get done driving all over san diego county and finally get back to working on the boat, i gotta mount the gauges, install the carpet, and wire the boat. hopefully by tuesday she'll fire up. I haven't started the boat since october. LOL in the first pic you can see my list to do.

oh and friday i bought a set of hooker headers with waterlines, but decided not to rush putting those on. it gives me time to clean them up and get them ready to install.
-
Wednesday we came out to the river, yesterday a buddy helped me wire the boat. After we did that we were timing it and got a fuel leak on the flare fitting that goes into the carb. The only line I didn't do freakin leaked. So while were fixing it... POP... CRACKLE.... FIZZ.... The coil explodes. Turns out my dumb ass left the key on. So I run into Parker and got another msd coil, while putting it on I notice one of the terminals is broken. So that was the nail in the coffin. Time to get drunk. Now I'm waiting till 8 am to go get a coil. I should have pictures of it on the water today
-
that thing looked like hell all weekend ;D Jk the boat came out super clean Kev- you should be stoke with the finished product-

Oil makes a black bilge shine. Thanks bo, let's get your deal on the water, they're never done dude

I brought it home with me to fix an oil leak, and hopefully get a diverter if I can find one CHEAP

got the diverter put on and had some fun with it. now i gotta see what happens when i pull the shims out of the rideplate. still gotta do some motor tweaking here and there.

dig the SS water lines..

nice smallblock i got a 383 strocker in my kona
-
thats a nice ol'skool retro boat! O0
-
well looks like this winter is gonna be work on the boat time again.
list of shit i want to do.
383 stroker (not gonna happen) LS1 type motor swap
send the carbs out to get dialed in EFI
rechrome the tunnelram EFI
rail kit
trim tabs
flip boat over to work on the bottom
new gauges
new rub rail
fab new exhaust and replumb everything
new fuel system.
winch and roller, clean and paint trailer.
-
so yesterday i started to take the exhaust apart and start looking at shit. I ordered stainless turbo headers off ebay. yes, im making a poor mans through transom header. now after looking at it in the boat it should be fairly easy to do. im gonna get a couple 3.5" U-bends and weld them up to the header. im cutting the collector off and making a new one so it will have a nice smooth transition. it will kinda look like manifold exhaust when done and i think it will work better than my logs.

and yesterday when i got to the inlaws to work on my boat, my father in law had already pulled the cover off and started fabbing this up for me. my new wakeboard tower to keep the rain out of the cover of the boat.

Soooooooo, now you have the framework to put some hair dryers in that bad boy.... :sly:
Good idea in more ways than one IMO, but.....How are you going to cool those off? They're gonna run hotter than hell dry (like 400-600 degrees)...

Not only does he let me rebuild my boat at his house, use all his tools, but also gets in there and helps me when i need it. truly a great man!

Soooooooo, now you have the framework to put some hair dryers in that bad boy.... :sly:
Good idea in more ways than one IMO, but.....How are you going to cool those off? They're gonna run hotter than hell dry (like 400-600 degrees)...

I'd love to run turbos but i dont know shit about them.
im cutting the turbo flanges off, essentially using just the 4 tubes. they will be injected, and the manifold dumps will be right before the rubber hose. hard to explain in typing. im gonna weld in injection bungs and drill some weep holes.
-
Hmmmm. Interesting idea you have there...
I think if it were me, I would make a flange and go from the flange to the TT...Easier, faster and cheaper, which is how I roll most of the time. ::)
Sounds like a cool project, if it comes out any where near as nice as the boat turned out, it will be awesome... :thumbup:

i want it to look really clean which is why ill be cutting the flanges off. im basically making a whole new merge collector and it should be real clean and smooth

Looks like that motor has an AC Delco oil filter on it. If so, that means the prior owner probably did his oil changes at the dealer.

the whole motor is very clean. Looked in the cylinders with a borescope and they dont even have carbon on them. It was a low mile wreck.

Started cleaning up the motor. Cut, welded, and smoothed the valve covers.

Looking good....i cant wait to see the performance you get out of it...my question is...is the pan going to clear? Also i used to have that motor in my old truck...sold it with 160k on it and it still ran like a bat outta hell
-
The pan is too deep, I might shorten it if I can't get a deal on a used pan
Oh and the 07 was rated at 340hp and about the same for torque. From what I've read, people are gaining about 30 more goin carbed. I'm hopin to pick up performance. If it's not enough I can throw a bump stick in it and get me there
-
Do some research and see if the ls2 pan for a gto will fit...they are more shallow....also i believe someone makes a stamped steel pan for ls type engines for the offroad guys...because the cast aluminum well you know
-
yeah over on ls1tech they got a whole oil pan thread with all the dimensions listed

If I only had your talent and creativity!

thanks man i really appreciate the words

well made front motor plates, used a jigsaw, diegrinder and then used a carbide burr to square it all before i routered the edges. i used 2 different burrs, the one in the pic made a smoother edge for a nice finish. who needs a mill anyways?

That straight bar won't allow for any drive line angle to take up the slack , There is a good chance of a pretty nasty drive line noise. Once you get it set move the motor one or two degrees to the side and one or two degrees either up or down.

Yeah I know that already, this is to just get the rail kit and motor plates done.

Yesterday I drilled the stringers for my rail kit, stringers are thick and the wood looks brand new... Schiada sure builds them right I must say. 1-3/4" thick stringer boxes. The plan is to have aluminum plugs made to seal the holes in the subfloor. And at the same time getting some slots and decorative machining done on the rails and motor plates

Actually, just be a pain in the ass. You really want to drop both the front and the rear simultaneously and only about an eighth of an inch on the high side....
If you only raise or lower one side, the "bend" needs to be dead nuts centered in between the two joints, no small feat as far as I am concerned...
What this does for you is makes the movement in each joint identical and will eliminate all potential causes of any harmonics and keeps the joints loaded and lubricated properly.
This is just my opinion and how I was taught, but it has worked on everything I have set up in the last 20 years, even an 800 horse marathon motor at 6500 RPM for 40 minutes at a shot. ;)
Not trying to bust balls, just want to see this awesome project succeed to the fullest, extreme skills as far as I am concerned.... :thumbup: :thumbup:

The intake is set at 4.9 degrees up and the motor is set at 3.7 I believe. These measurements are taken from when the intake was set with the keel level.
I still have final trimming and setting to do once I get new pto bolts. The bolts that were sent to me are unusable and getting new ones are difficult as it's not a common bolt.
The marine company that machined them said to clean them with a wire wheel, last time I checked wire wheels don't put material back on

Would you trust these to hold your driveline on, let alone thread into the crank to cross thread it or snap off inside it?

Those are scary :thumbdown:
On the drive line angle, not trying to beat a dead horse, but it is not just the angle differential you need to be concerned with. the angle differential is all fine and good, but.... :sly: The angle needs to start at the center of the drive line joints, not at the motor mount or the input of the pump shaft.
I hope that makes sense, you don't want to "bend" the horsepower at the wrong spot in the drive line, it puts undue strain on the entire system including the crankshaft of the engine and the pumps thrust bearing. :thumbdown:
It is actually fairly simple to figure out, use your killer pilot shaft to figure out where the bend needs to occur as far as where the center of the two joints ends up when installed with 1/4" of "slack" on the splined shaft of the pump, then simply raise or lower the rear mount to gain enough height to allow for you to end up with the angle differential needed by adjusting the front mounts height.......OK maybe it's harder to explain in words than it actually is to do....(I talk with my hands a lot) :sly:
Anyway, I have somewhere a u-joint/CV joint 101 book around here somewhere, I will try to scare it up for ya.... :thumbup: :thumbup:

Best I can do for right now.... :thumbup:
http://www.4xshaft.com/driveline101.html (http://www.4xshaft.com/driveline101.html)
Notice in the conventional drive shaft (with one joint at each end) the the angle is on "both joints" not just at one end...This is crucial. 8)
The CV example even has the "bend" at the center of the CV, we could use CV joints on these badboys, but it's overkill, not to mention expensive.... :thumbdown:
Really want you to succeed... ;)

Glenn I am familiar with setting the u-joints. I've done it alot on trucks when I use to make 4link suspensions in my minitruckin days. I'm just waiting until I get the pto on because then it takes the measurement out of it. Right now everything is rough fit. It'll be right.

got some welding done today. last weekend i got the motor plates as done as i can get them without a mill.
boxed the oil pan in and modified the pickup tube. the pan was a deep rear sump. so i whacked the bottom off of it. then slotted the "front" part of the sump. Plated the bottom extending it forward. Boxed it in keeping the outside of the "old" pan in place acts as a baffle. this should give me close to stock capacity. would it have been easier to buy a corvette pan? YES, Do i have the money? NOPE

duct tape adds mph, especially red

Since you added the red duct tape, I believe that the prudent thing to do is add a drivers capsule.

Lol good call
-
Looking good with the headers! Loving these ls/lq swaps!
-
This boat is gonna be bad ass when finished! Good job!
-
Thanks guys, this winter has been one setback after freakin setback. Last winter the boat work went alot smoother. Hopefully the rest of the build goes smoother
-
got the headers fit and tacked, and last night i made the end piece for the scoop.
Still gotta buy a carb.
This weekend i am gonna pull the motor out for the final time to bolt the oil pan on, mount the remote oil filter, finish welding the headers, cut the hole for the scoop, mount the ignition box, and start laying out wires and hoses. I'm hoping to fire it up next weekend after a birthday party.
I'm waiting to drill the rail kit cuz i still dont have the GD pto bolts :mad: Man i wish stuff would sometimes just go right

finished welding the headers up. i welded the inside of the flanges with ER70S-6 GTAW rod and put about 1/2" tacks on the collectors with it on each tube. Then I tig brazed the outside of the flanges and the collectors with silicon bronze. took a bit to get used to running it again as its been about 5 years. they came out good enough for $150 headers

So got the headers fitted on.
Started running my ignition

Few questions.
Can you mount electric fuel pumps sideways?
I have the selector valve on the transom and I'd like to run straight down into the fuel pump.
When wiring the fuel pump up, is it best to run it to the acc on the ignition or on a dedicated switch?
The overboard dumps for water, should these go out the side or out the transom?
-
Don't know if it's right or wrong, but here's a pic of my transom. Tank selector and fuel pump.
I wired a seperate switch on the dash for the pump.
All my dumps go out the back. Most racers like it going out the sides. This is so they can see the water coming out.

I dunno if they can be mounted sideways or not. Don't see why not, :sly:
You can run the pump either way. I'd run it, and the ignition, through an oil pressure switch though. That way. if oil pressure drops, or engine stalls or fails, boat catches fire, etc, etc, etc, the pump isn't putting more fuel into a potentially hazardous situation. Pickles wired this way, although I would rather it be on a separate switch just as a preference, but it is not. Moo's is such a completely strange, alien and different deal that I will not go into it on that thing, but it's kinda close to similar but not the same damn thing at all. ;)
I wish my boats had the O/B dumps on the drivers side! ;)
Ray
-
You're running A holley pump right,....you run those upside down if you want....no problem. Run the pump through a relay....hit up an alarm shop if you don't have Any....10A will be fine.
Water dumps......run it it out the side in front of the drivers seat so you can see it.

Lookin' good
-
You should be able to run an electric fuel pump sideways. Tapping into the oil pressure circuit isn't a bad idea and remember to wire up a relay so that way you have consistent voltage to the pump. Also, remember that there are pusher and puller pumps. Figure out what you need first before making a purchase.

No more expensive parts to buy now

If anyone knows where I can find some 14mm 12 points please let me know

Try giving a call up to King Bolt in Covina, they usually have what i need or know where to go.

-
Who are you getting your bolts from , so I know to stay far away!
-
The manufacturer of the pto, who is a well known marine manufacturer for the last 50+ years
-
Have you tried a mcfadden dale or similar. Probably just easier then waiting around for junk to show up.
-
What's the thread pitch? Mcmaster has lots of M14x2.0 in an Allen head, which should work. call up arp if you're stuck on 12 pt.
-
i would go to mcfaddendale! thats where i got mine, and used a socket head bolt, it will fit inside and flush with the pto...im guessing thats why you wanted 12 point...i got the black alloy bolts "equivalent to grade 10 or 12" :thumbup: oh yeah and i would take them bolts and throw them at the people that made them!
-
I just got my 12 point bolts the other day from Rex Marine. My boat uses 7/16"-20x1 The ones Rex sold me were a little long and needed to be shortened. I tried using allen style bolts but I did not have the clearence to torque them and that is why I want with 12 point.
-
Well I was able to get them in very carefully. They don't make a 14mm 12 point. It uses a 12 point because the way the pto is designed. I got them in and torqued. Now I'll just have to have another beer to get it out of the back of my head when driving the boat.
-
McFaddendale Hardware is definitley the place to find everything rare. I have allen bolts in mine but this hardware store would be worth a trip, atleast just to find other stuff you didn't know you needed! There are a few in so. cal one in Corona, Anahiem, and Santa Ana

Tired of trying to make stuff pretty and I'm broke so this will have to do until next season. Polishing it too expensive and that damn harbor freight buffer bogs down too much. I'm putting the boat back together for what seems to be the hundreth time.

OOOOO looks nice :thumbup:

Got mynew rack in the mail today. Also made some waterlines.
.5" .035" wall stainless tube, and 1/4" .035" wall tube. Total cost to make these water lines will be 45$. Sorry Bassett but 175$ is way too much for waterlines.

Before someone else says it SHOW US YOUR RACK!!!!!!
Scoop looks great.

Well first day on the water went great!!! It runs faster than before. It's alot more fun now and is way torqueier.
I gotta play with the tuning and rideplate getting it dialed in.

Throw another couple of grand to hit 79 MPH. ;D

Have fun.

Time for a bigger boat. This is for SALE pm if interested
-
What? I thought things were just getting interesting! Not going to attempt racing it after all?
-
After the last couple holiday weekends at the river I've come to the conclusion that this boat isn't made to deal with the chop of roundy round racin. Wife wants something bigger(story of my life) and I don't really blame her. I'm lookin for a 18-19.5 v bottom. Either a spectra or eliminator formula. Something closed bow that rides through chop. It's a shame what wakeboard boats have done to the river, but in big river there's just too many.
-
I dont have any desire to have a boat that big at this point in time. I like being low on the water. 19' would be pretty ideal. 19 spectra,formula,rayson, schiada all good 19' low profile boats that cut through the chop like a hot knife through butter. I would'nt be opposed to a tunnel either
-
somethin like this

Dude those spectra 19s are bad A$$. that one in van nuys looks like a very clean boat
-
I'm also looking at upgrading to something bigger as well. I currently have a 19' and I want to step up to a 21' like kaOtyk mentioned. I've never been in a 19' that cuts thru chop like a hot butter, but it definiteley will be better that what you have now. If I were in the market for a larger boat now, I'd offer you my Rogers. But with a kid on the way, I'm gonna have to wait. Good luck with the boat hunt.
-
well since nobody will buy this piece of crap I'm looking at another winter of working on it.
plans are:
do the bottom
make a set of stack tanks and put them behind the back seat.
paint the boat. Gonna go old school metallics and maybe some lace. capped and shaved.
paint the trailer
might make new headers.
