I used my iPhone might be wrong but it was fun and she was handling good like a wet dream. I really want to take motor apart but ill wait till December. The carb I had on it was a carter witch was clogged up with crap so I put a 750 dp on it and running half gas and av 110 so ran it dry next weekend try to do it all again this time on regular fuel only.
-
Berk jet no diverter this is all new to me so have a lot of help my family knows some top fuel drag boat racers hove bin helping me over the phone couple of them will be here in December to help me rebuild motor or will see them at the river at echo bay they have so trailers in their.
-
ya i wouldnt trust the i phone im not sayin its not possible but with a jet it takes alot of motor and pump work and even bottom prep to run 92 it is a jet right?

Thats cool just watch those high r's with the olds especially if you dont have oiling mods done and a 10 qt pan i love my olds but the oiling issues are a major downfall and will get you every time been there a few times racin chevys and runnin it up high for a couple sec to long lol

Ok Kool thanks bro now that I know what it will do I plan just to cruze it wife doesn't like going very fast so I should keep it low r. I plan to put wet headers on next summer I had a 74 miller that had header on it so I had them rechromed they look brand new again and will put new intake on it in December.
-
No prob and you cant beat the sound of a big block boat with headers

Yah I don't know about the 92, if I remember right you bought a kona? They are pretty heavy hulls and they are solid. I got 65-68 out of mine with nothing in it but interior, me and 4 gallons of gas. And I ran it up past 5500. Get a good hand held GPS, I think I paid 130 for mine but you can find some for 50-70.
They make things easier, when I use to go to the river/mead all the time I was able to give out locations to friends family that didn't know the area and when I let someone take the old boat out they were able to find there way back camp If they couldn't figure it out.
-
Yeah you would need to do a lot of work and spend a lot of coin to see 92 out of an olds. Not to bust your balls or anything. I'm at the river now and the best I've ran is 62 with just me in it and a quarter tank of fuel and ran it against my dads jet ski. That was at 7 this morning with nobody out. Mines only getting 4600 rpms so you've got me beat lol
-
Thanks for your input ill try a GPS next time the boat I got was from Cali and a police officer owned it. The first run I did got 62 at 4000 rpm changed the old plugs out and ran it again went even faster so I could be wrong so we will see next weekend if no rain in vegas I was at mead at 6:30 am no wind so flat.
-
And as far as a GPS don't know witch one to get.
-
I have speed box on my phone. Works perfect on roads and offroading. Follows a true mph gauge perfect. Haven't tried it in the boat yet.. Everytime I have taken a GPS in my boat it always hurts my feelings.. Lol
-
So I think I'm just going to try my Magellan GPS and see whats really going on. The mph gauge on my boat could be bad so I will try to match it up with my GPS. Thanks for your input bro.

Going out to mead to burn off some steam and fuel for couple of hours after 3 pm today, rebuilt carb runs great on trailer need to see what it will do on water.
