im not sure? i dont claim to be an exspert onthis at all? but the ass of the boat looks more like a placecraft

« **Reply #26 on:** June 19, 2013, 02:29:45 PM »

It's a placecraft tunnel. Basically a southwind tunnel but updated.

« **Reply #27 on:** June 20, 2013, 07:34:10 AM »

Yep just found out its a 1983 place craft!
Thanks for the help guys!

The last pic shows the loader hangin WAY down .
Dial in your hardware and then start adding stuff to it.
Gotta know what's slowing you down before you can start speeding up.

Thanks beer jet! What's the best way maybe trim a half inch off at a time?

Thanks

« **Reply #30 on:** June 24, 2013, 06:55:10 AM »

Take a straight edge (like a metal yard stick) and place it front to back of the intake housing, this will give you better perspective of how much is hanging below keel. +/-1/8" is about right.

ok guys here are some pics of the loader??

« **Reply #32 on:** June 25, 2013, 07:49:12 PM »

Cut about an inch out of it with a 5 inch grinder. That should help a bit. Tap the intake for pressure and add pressure gauge. That will help with the tuning.

That might be a bit much
You need to 'sneak up' on it, I'd go about 1/4" shorter to start. It looks like its at about 7/16" then try it, with a gps. Hopefully you have a gps baseline to compare it to. Small changes, ONE at a time, then gps, repeat

Thanks guys for all the help! Yes I do have a GPS base line one the boat of 72mph I will start slow and sneak up on it. Hope maybe will see a little rpm gain as well?

Thanks again for the help..

You may not see am RPM gain, just making the hull as efficient as possible, with the same amount of thrust

that loader looks like it is about a half inch below keel. 1/4 cuts aren't going to help all that much. i would start with 1 inch and the 1/2 inch cuts after that if you need it. a lot of guys these days are running there loaders WAY cut back. JMO

« **Reply #37 on:** June 26, 2013, 11:46:35 AM »

Ok.. Cutting the loader to raise it a 1/4 inch I will problay have to take of like 3/4 of an inch? Does that sound right? Like If I draw straight line across the loader or imagine the line cutting straight trough were my mark would be off of the straight edge I'm not necessarily going to be cutting a 1/4 inch off to get it to raise the leading edge a 1/4? Does this sound right?

« **Reply #38 on:** June 26, 2013, 11:50:41 AM »

I guess what I am trying to say in cutting the 1/4 off in hight I will be cutting say maybe 3/4 off in length?

No, you just need to cut the ramps of the loader back. so taking 1/4 inch will be 1/4 inch. start with cutting them back even too keel or 1/4 above keel.

I'd start at 1/8" Below the keel, and work from there.
I cut mine 3 times and it was still too short.

ok guys excuse all the questions here just trying not to mess anything up if i dont have to? the top lip on my level in the pic is just about an 1/8 inch thick. so if i mark the loader with a sharpie and cut it even with the mark on the level it should put me about an 1/8 below the keel? witch should give me a good starting point? does this sound about right? then i could start making small cuts from their.

thanks

« **Reply #42 on:** June 26, 2013, 02:50:24 PM »

Yes that's a good starting point.
Mines ~1/8", maybe less, made a difference over the 3/4"+ it was hanging

10/4 i will get it trimed today.. and get ready for a test run this weekend, wating on a new o-ring for my steering nozzel as well and will be ready for a test run

thanks all

I just took another inch out of mine today. 5 inch cutting disk, 5 inch grinder and a 40 grit sanding disk to sharpen and clean it up.

« **Reply #45 on:** June 26, 2013, 05:35:49 PM »

trying to post some pics of mine but having a little trouble? will try again in a little bit

« **Reply #46 on:** June 26, 2013, 05:40:59 PM »

« **Reply #47 on:** June 26, 2013, 08:26:08 PM »
