The No Wake Zone / Pics from Long Beach
« on: August 06, 2013, 09:57:50 PM »
Here are some pics from the Long Beach races.  I took about 900 so I need to go through them and pick some out.  Wanted to throw up some of the river racer jets.  These are from Saturday.  (the only day I went)

Boat Racing / Re: River Racer Jet Class Proposal

Thanks guys.  I have some work to do but I am thinking about it getting this together.  I know my boat is not fast enough to win but I am sure I could use the seat time before really stepping up.

There were several rookie drivers today.   The one racing with Ralph's class got quite a story to tell.  He came as close to hitting therocks as one can, without hurting the boat.  Even got it running again after the shower and finished the heat.
I think all you need is some minimal race grade safety gear, a pocket full of money, and a   boat that can run 80 mph for 15 minutes at a time.

Oh yeah, and the freakish desire to ruin said boat by beating the piss out of it.

Thanks!  What is the average cost per race event for a slower class like this?

I just saw the RRJ races at Long Beach today and thought it was pretty awesome and maybe its something I could do without too much work to my boat. 

There hasn't been much on here since April so can anyone point me to find the rules for this class?

Thanks.

Congrats on the win Ralph.

Hey Slideartist, nice meeting you today.  I was the guy that told you I used to ride in your boat when I was a kid.  I'll look for those pictures.

I have a Kona on here for sale.  Look under project boats.  It's red and white.  I need to get rid of it so if you are interested make me an offer on it.

Yeah Aquaholic we were there on Saturday for a little bit.  Goose was lookin a little too shallow to go into.  I've got an orange and silver Rodgers.  I have never seen your boat out there.  We will have to meet up sometime.

Well I have my suspicions about the lighter.  They guy did light a smoke and it was just a little after that it started on fire.  I do have black seats and yes they get fawking hotter than a mofo.  I didn't pick out the color but I guess now is a good reason to change it.  We did catch it pretty quick so it isn't too bad and I think I can just use some black duct tape and throw a towel over it for now. 

And about the trailer: I had the back of it strapped around the pump to the rear cross member since there are no hooks on the back of the boat.  When the cross member gave way the boat was resting on the side of the trailer and the straps kept the cross member from touching the ground.  It was about two inches away from the ground by the time I saw it.

The No Wake Zone / My seat caught on fire...
« on: July 07, 2009, 12:00:16 PM »
We were out in the Blythe area over the weekend and someone noticed smoke coming from the other side of a pontoon boat.  When I looked over my boat was the only one over there so I kinda ran/swam as fast as I could over to it to splash it out.  Some other people saw it too and came over to help splash it out.  My buddy that was riding with me had his lighter in a little back pack with his smokes and a few other things and I guess it blew up and caught the seat on fire.  No real damage other than the back of the seat and no one got hurt so it was nothing that a few more beers couldn't take of.  I was sure scared for a little while until I saw that it was just the seat.  Has anyone ever had this happen before? 

Also, when I was towing my boat out there the rear cross member of my trailer broke at the light and was just about dragging on the ground.  I was able to get it fixed for $150 when I could have fixed it at work for free.  Despite my troubles I still had a good weekend.

I will be out that weekend most likely but I will be staying on the AZ side up river.  Call out a meeting time and place on the water.  Goose flats is a good place but at the end of the summerthe weeds get nasty.  I go to the sandbar just up from the I-10 bridge and the island just south of Goose.

Trailers / Re: Trailer tires vs. car tires
« on: June 24, 2009, 11:35:08 PM »
Thanks GT.  I need new tires for my trailer and they want a lot more for trailer tires than car tires.  Not trying to be cheap but don't want to waste money either.

Whats the difference?  Does anyone run car tires on their trailers?  Any benefit either way?

Kind of late posting to this but I am pretty sure that Dick Scherer Marine (spelling?) in Norwalk can lift and hold your boat for you while you work on it.  I think it was 50-100 bucks a few years ago.

Its a 1972 Rogers that I got from a friend without a motor.  I dumped a BBC in it and took it for a run Fathers day weekend.  It ran great.  Look for it in Blythe.
