The problem I have with that, while a bitchen idea and have seen it done, you just tripled the chances for electrical problems and leaks... :thumbdown:

On a full blown race deal, your not supposed to have to pull the engine out, if you need to, you are already looking like a "dufus"  ;D

If you use a little forethought, your connections for electric and water should be very straight forward...we color coded everything for an engine removal (I used Yellow heat shrink tubing on everything that needed to be removed)...Made the job go faster if you had someone unfamiliar with the boat helping pull stuff apart... ;)

GT, I like the bulkhead idea, I will see if I can incorporate.

Although a little more complicated to mock up than 3 or 4 pt the rail kit is the hands down winner for clean install IMO not sure what you mean by adding or not taking away material ? though


By extra material I meant extra material on the plates, ie, not trimming them so much, leaving room for mounting things.

Thats a clean install. I have something similar(I think its a lightning rail kit now for BBC). Im looking to add some material(or-not cut so much away) so I can have a place to pass water lines through, mount misc. stuff etc. Just looking for some ideas...

Guys, would like your thoughts on rail kit features for a new install. I need to take my intake out to put a new one in, so while the boat is apart, I thought I might redo my engine compartment rigging. There are a few things I want to change, but would like thoughts(and preferably pix) of ideas/features that made an install cleaner, more functional or just plain trick.

Thanks in advance!

Used hardened shaft in good shape. New Koyo Bearing. New shaft with bearing cost me $500, would like $275 out of this one. I was running this and thought it was stock so replaced with a new AQ from MPD. Come to find out this one was magnetic(hardened). My loss, your gain. Buyer pays shipping. Shaft is in Socal. Can make local deliveries free of charge on OC/San Diego areas...

Thanks, but the boat belongs to Jason now, so to be proper, his boat is bitchen, I agree though. O0

Boat loves chop, if you have the cahones to keep your foot in it. The keel on this thing is about an inch thick, so its ready to take a beating. As far as turning circles, check out the Hurry Round Hondo boat from years past. This is that boat less the t-deck, its one of the more popular hulls for circle racing, atleast historically. Im sure others will argue a liberty is a better hull, probably is, but this hull has a pedigree of its own that is not too shabby. If I was going to race circles, Id go with the stacked tanks, and any of the other necessary hardware.

If you have any questions about the hull please feel free to call me at the # I listed.

Just for clarification this boat is capable of a hundred safely the way it sits. Turned an MPD B 5700...do the math. To help it go faster it does have the cav plate recesses from the mold available for installation of the plates. This particcular boat came with aluminum blanks installed in the recesses however. This hull is capable of the 110 -112 area. I wouldn't try going any faster than that(actually I wouldn't try over 100, its fast enough)

I think the boat is really nice, but I think I am a little biased. Maybe not the nicest, but one of the cleanest. Boat was built with one thing in mind, hauling ass, thats it. Whoever buys it will get a nice boat that doesn't need a lot of work to be on the water.

And for whoever asked, this boat did have a delta pad. Was removed in the interest of speed and pump loading.

Some miscellaneous pix:

Delta pad removal by Bennett.

If anyone has any questions about the work that was done, feel free to give me a call.

Hopefully the mold has a Bennett bottom on it. All the fast Hondo Jets have one thing in common...Post pics when its done, would love to see it.

If anyone wants anymore pics of this thing let me know, I've got a lot of them. Really clean boat that doesn't need very much.

Send it to Jack. My dad just did and it cost $350 for the machine work, shoe, cradle & ride plate. If you look at jacks shoe and compare to anyone elses, you will know why he charges what he does. They are a work of art and are worth the money IMO.

Boost the WJ is a good pump, with the Energizer on there you get rid of the biggest problem with a jacuzzi-the bowl. The impeller is next and they can be made to work real well. My WJ pushed my last boat into the mid 90's first time out with no setup, same as a berk has done in similar boats. No doubt in my mind that the boat would have done 100 with a little tweaking and some cleaner water(super choppy out-couldn't stay in it too long). Unfortunately after the first time out my wife shook her head at me and told me we needed a bigger boat.

Get your impeller detailed by Jack @ MPD and add the shoe & ride plate. A bowl detailing will help to, but I would do that after the shoe-ride plate and impeller. You wouldn't notice any difference with the berk IMO.

$250 for both obo plus shipping.

One of the bolt holes for the cradle looks like it needs to go up a size to 3/8, threads are a little munched. Definitely savable.

Not sure of what brand the bowl is, possibly AT.

Here are some pics:

Hit it with a buffing wheel and some polishing compound. Those things will come right back.
