Note-Mods, sorry if this is in the wrong place. Its not exactly turnkey, but not really a project either...

nice good luck with your sale
-
Show me the money! ;D
-
trade for quad ?
-
No thanks. Too many toys. Need the room.
-
trade for granite countertops ?
-
If someone is looking at this and liking it, but concerned with the jacuzzi pump being a dog, I assure you it is not. I've got 2 people who have been in the boat before I removed my motor and they will both attest that it accelerated like no boat tehy have ever been in.
If I need to put my motor back in it to give some test rides to a potential buyer I will consider it.
-
Hang on to it and take payments?
-
nice boat

The talk about the Jacuzzi jet reminded me of these:

You have any kids racing the 85 class? I've got a 2007 CRF150R for sale. I'll trade ya.
-
Sorry, dont need any dirtbikes.
The sanger gunwhales have a dip in them like a lot of other boats. The Rogers, Brendella/Centurion/Hondos don't. Otherwise they look very similar.
-
Crappy pic, but this is a shot I took of the alternator mount. There is a spot to mount your MSD ignition on the plate as well, or if you want I can cut that part off. Mount will be polished for new owner. Wiring is super clean on this boat. All new. Runs from the terminal block down through a 1 inch grommet in the rail, back a few feet then back up through the rail. Wiring then runs along the bell housing. End result is a spotless wiring job that is hardly seen. Brand new Optima red top goes with the boat.

okay, how about $4000?

The work on this boat is impecible. Some real talented hands have been on this boat, top names in the industry.
$4K is a steel !

Thanks Jim,
a little story: When I bought the hull I had no idea what it was, if it had any performance potential or not. I knew nothing about boats. Turns out I got pretty lucky. Jack had a boat in his shop while I was entertaining whether or not to keep the jacuzzi or go berk. The boat looked really similar with exception of the t-deck. Turned out to be a Hondo Pantera and thats when Jack & I realized that my Brendella was a copy of the Pantera. Given the relationships between Brendella & Hondo it seemed fitting that Brendella would copy the Hondo's. Jack went on to say that the hull in his shop used to have a delta pad and that once it was removed the hull was in the 80's with less than 600 hp. This boat also had the Cav plate hardware which was beautiful. This hull has the recesses in the bottom for the cav plates too.
From there my horsepower dreams got out of hand. I went from wanting 600 hp to 700 to 800 and ended up with a bit more. This boat handled it masterfully. If I didn't have a 2 year old Id still be runing this thing. The hull is solid, no cracks, 1 inch full length stringers. Flat out screams in the chop.
-
Jack went on to say that the hull in his shop used to have a delta pad and that once it was removed the hull was in the 80's with less than 600 hp.
After reading this I tried to find information about delta pad design but could not come up with much information or pics to help explain. So in order to remove a delta pad was it necessary to reshape the bottom of the hull or was it something that could be easily removed?
Up until this point I have not heard about a delta pad, and don't understand what you are talking about.
Thanks.
-
A delta pad is a flat triangular pad in front of the pump intake. Its considered by those who know this hull that the boat runs better without it. Jeff Bennett reshaped the bottom to eliminate the delta pad. Ill dig up some pix of the bottom.
-
Free polished motor plates to any buyer who has a non Chevy motor going in. Buyer must supply a bare block with oil pan so I can make the patterns though. A built engine being used in this capacity will slow down the process but could possibly be done...
-
I'd like to compare some pictures to the bottom of my Hondo. I sure it has never been touched.
You mentioned improved mph, but what does it do for handling? (not that it really matters, mine isn't fast enough to have a handling problem) ;D
-
Ive got the pix but they are on my old computer. If you have pix of yours post em up. I am intimately familiar with the bottom of my boat. Ill try to get the pics up tonight otherwise.
no noticeable change to handling. The mod is done to increase pump loading efficiency at high speeds.
Example:
Take a knife or spatula and hold it vertically under running water, notice how the water runs off in a sheet. Next hold the backside of a spoon under the water vertically, notice how the water follows the shape of the spoon.
The knife example is the delta pad, the spoon example is of the modified entry. Im not saying the delta pad wont work, my boat ran fine without it(before the big power came). The goal was to go as fast as possible with my power though. The spooned entry loads harder than the delta pad does. Perhaps a pump with a delta pad entry could be loaded as hard, but it would have more shoe & loader which would create drag and scrub speed and potentially cause ill handling.
Also, if you dont know who Jeff Bennett is, he is a long time jet racer and happens to be a Rocket Scientist for Boeing as a day job. He knows the Hondo Pantera hull and I trust his word when he tells me to go fast it will require the removal of the delta pad.
As for handling, it handles great. It doesn't have a turn fin so I never got crazy with it, however the hull was used as a circle racer back in the day and did a good job. Most notably the Hurry Round Hondo was of the same design. That boat won lots of races. Its a safe hull.
-
Damn I WANT this boat! It's just what I want... a nice old style hull, white with clean lines!
Let me see what I can do...meaning I'll be doing my taxes tomorrow!!
-
Brendellajet,
I don't have any good pics of the bottom at this time, but I'll see what I can do when the rain stops.

I have a ford block and oil pan you can use. Let me know by Sat I am coming up that way to go to Brads.
-
Thanks, thats nice of you to offer. But Im not gonna make a set of ford mounts until someone gives me the cash. Hopefully someone with a chevy buys it... O0

Here are some misc. pix I have. (Ive got several hundred of the boat in varying stages...)
Impeller-This is aluminum. If someone wants to run big power Id recommend going stainless(I have one for sale). The good thing about the aluminum Jacuzzi is that they are fairly stout. With the extra vein there is more material holding it together, but the fact remains, its aluminum.

Well yesterday was almost your day until I had to buy the ole lady a plane ticket for $1200. Her uncle is dying and she had to be there right away, so family first I guess.
-
So, its almost like winning the lotto but picking the wrong #'s ;D
Sorry to hear about your wifes uncle though. Family comes first. I have a feeling this thing will be around for a little while longer. Phone has been ringing more in the last 2 weeks though. Only a matter of time, I hope...
-
I bought the ticket yesterday at 11AM took her to the airport this morning at 4. Short notice tickets are a son-bitch.
Any thoughts on hull less the pump? Intake can stay...
-
I've considered doing it less pump. Id have to take the intake though. Id sell just the boat for 3k.
-
hmm, without intake would actually be better. When I scrap some spare change back up I'll see if you still have it.
-
Lemme know. I wont pull the pump/intake without a $500 deposit in hand. might want to think about keeping the jacuzzi though. Its an ass kicker for sure. Setup and ready to run. But if you have another pump then I can understand. I can make room for the pump. Its the boat thats in the way.
-
Light enough without anything in it... Why don't you hang it from some rafters and keep it?
-
There is a huge truss in my garage that hangs down about two feet, otherwise thats a great idea.
-
Free polished motor plates to any buyer who has a non Chevy motor going in. Buyer must supply a bare block with oil pan so I can make the patterns though. A built engine being used in this capacity will slow down the process but could possibly be done...
Hey Brendella how much to have you fab up a set of those? Most likely a SBC.
-
If its for this boat, its free :)
Otherwise, not really sure. I would do it if someone wanted, but its helpful to have the boat handy, as every rail kit/boat install is different. If someone just wanted the plates drilled for the bolt patterns and they do the final trimming(for shape & placement) I would do it for $100 bucks plus shipping & materials.
My plates cost me about $35 to make, not including my time of course. Im pretty sure I've got access to a SBC block too.
-
I've got the block, and may have a hull pretty soon. I will keep you posted. Came across a 1 of 3 built tunnel hull. Thinking about it. I would like to pay you whatever you feel is reasonable. $100 sounds a little low considering you will also have time invested, I don't want to low ball you as you would be doing me a favor.
-
Like I said, that would only be for locating the bolt holes & locating pins and drilling to proper sizes. I would leave enough material so you could cut the final shape. Let me know. I can actually give you a great tip for making them. Without the boat in my garage you'd end up with a lot of work to do to them, be better to make them your self.
As long as you have a jig saw and a drill motor you can make them. There will be a couple more little things to buy, but it can be done on a budget.
-
its not hard to do, just time consuming. and the material is $$$$$$$
-
If you are local, go to Schorr Metals in Placentia, near the corner of Kraemer & Orangethorpe.
They have a nice "drop" section. Pick a clean piece and sand the scratches out. Takes a little longer, but it is much cheaper.
-
i think the material was 190.00 for 6061, thats for both plates

Damn, you got killed on the pricing...My plates came from a piece of 2x2 6061 and I paid no more than 35.

This (http://www.adi-aero.com/adi/index.htm) is where I work. Metal is not a problem, I just don't have time. If I could get sketches or something I could do it here... I just haven't done it before and have no idea how it's done.
This is what we build out of Titanium, Aluminum and steel.

If I can't do it personally, the resources are all around me...
-
I think Superdave013 has them. I think his name is Larry Nebb on the powerboats site. If you post up over there Im pretty sure someone has some cad files or atleast some layouts with the bolt hole locations...The hard part is locating the crankshaft centerline for YOUR boat.
I took a bare block, with a piece of straight pipe running through the mains and with the mounts rough cut, trimmed until the straight pipe would slide over the pump shaft. I purposely didn't make it perfect(but got it close) so the ujoints in the driveline get some use.
Im sure with the cad files or even the layouts(if hotboat comes back they are on that site) Im sure someone at your work can whittle those things out in nothing flat. Up to you to final fit. Otherwise Id be glad to help out, would just need some measurements from you.
-
If someone wants this boat with motor I have one available.
-
I want that boat without motor, I have to see what my tax return is going to be like!

bump for a sweet boat, good luck with the sale

Thanks Fork.
Would somebody buy this if I put a berk in it?
-
If you put a Berk in it, I would consider buying the Jacuzzi.
First bid, $50.00 >:D
That is the SCJB special, right? ;)
-
LOL, id put the Jacuzzi in my other boat. Im not afraid of them. I've seen what a good WJ can do...On the other hand, if someone wants the boat less pump, the Jacuzzi may be up for sale. I wont sell for less than $1500 though. Considering what I've got in it ($3k) thats a good deal.

Thats fockn funny right there
-
Is there any way to cram more than 2 people in there?
Absolutely. When I got the boat it had seating for 4 adults(5 if you get cozy). You would need to buy the boat without the current seats and put in some fiberglass buckets and then a bench would fit no problem. You would probably want to run the alternator in a standard configuration as well instead of the direct drive, or build the back seat around it
-
Note: These seats aren’t in the corbeau catalog. I bought the GTA low backs and shortened them about 6 inches. For the back seat I was going to buy another one, shorten it and widen it and then have it reupholstered to match. Im 6 feet tall and the placement as is right now is perfect provided your legs are as long as mine. There is room to move the foot pedal forward and the front seats as well which would make some more room for a back seat. There is very little room to store things like inflatables though, not that it couldn’t be done, you would just need to be creative-like put a swimstep on it and tie inflatables to that, or-you could always just drag them…
