daytona rock climber project
« on: November 27, 2009, 03:38:01 PM »
Starting the rock climber project pictures  to come. Have about five holes in the bottom of the boat ranging from 5-10 inches big. The bottom of the boat is a delta bottom and was wondering if I should convert it to a rounded since there is so much bottom work to be done anyways?  Should I set the pump back. It will be a drag boat.

CJ222's boat is an Eliminator Scorpion, way different animal.


 
RTriebess,  Are you sure its a delta bottom ?  I thought they had a normal flat keel.  Either way, as a drag boat I believe it should be changed.  Its time to get in touch with the Daytona gurus !!  ;) ;D

Hmmmm gonna say different, maybe not way different  :-\, if memory serves the tunnels are roughly the same size, I wish I had some pictures of the aluminum picklefork we had.  :banghead:

Rounded keel tunnels stay loaded better and are more stable at speed, you give up a little something in the area of low speed plane, but probably negligable.

 Yea its a way different animal. Check out the before pics of the Scorpion again http://www.socaljetboats.com/index.php?topic=7243.msg105679#msg105679 , the tunnels look bigger then my 21', and its got steps on the sponsons and keel.  From what I was told the Scorpions where built to work with OBs, hence the reason for all the bottom work on cj222s boat.

At the risk of pointing a member to another website, get ahold of Tony Skagen on Skagenboats.com.

There's a ton of Daytonas up here and he's been involved in almost all of them.  He knows them inside and out and recently picked up a Scorpion as well...

Good luck with your project.....john

I'm confused. Eliminator Daytona had a flat keel or rounded keel. Delta bottoms were on semi-V's like a Sprint. As far as a daytona goes if you're going to put serious HP to it, go with a rounded keel. If not stick with a flat keel it will get up on plane a bit quicker and get more boat out of the water with less HP.  Rounded keel is for loading a pump with a lot of power to push it through.  My APBA Ski-Jet Daytona had a flat bottom due to HP, race team's Comp-Jet was rounded.
