They use "baking soda" as a blast media in place of sand of glass beads to remove the paint.

« on: July 14, 2009, 12:47:54 PM »Thats what Russ the machinist told us about the springs and lift too. We had to buy $350 isky springs and didnt even run the pro-comps . The cam on this 460 has about .640 lift and Russ set us up with it and got it all to to hold together for us. We have about an hour of firing time on the motor and no issues so far. Hopefully it stays that way! How much horse power is your stroker pushin? We are curious to see how much mph we gained. Its got a dominator pump in a 78 charger 19 3''. No pump work that we know of but is has the GS marine sticker on the pump so it could have something done. just a diverter.IT went 64mph with stock cam and dove c heads. hopefully we can hit 70!Not real sure it is at the machine shop now. New cam Comp Hyrd (custom grind) roller new dual QFT 750's 4 tunnel ram and plate system install then onto the dyno. I am shooting for 700+ ish on motor around 900+ on the button. Going into my TX-19 light layup (300#) Berkley pump american turbine bowl droop diverter mpd prop and hopefully i can knock on triples door on motor and get 110 ish on the juice in 660'

I am running Pro Comps on my 514 stroker and I have had no issues with them. I did have a buddy who works at a head shop here in town set them up for me. He did clean up the cc gasket matched everything valve job as they did not seat worth a flip out of the box, and they work great. The only thing i have been told about them is that you can not run a huge lift cam with high spring pressure as that is the weak point of them. The buddy who got them for me says they use them all the time and are running some big power motors and big turbo motors and no issues.

« on: July 13, 2009, 12:23:28 PM »UPDATE: Just got off the phone with the guy. He's going to email me some pics. I made an offer and he took it. So I hope he takes good pics because thats a long drive (26hrs one way) to go get a boat.Try U-Ship. Might be worth not having to spend 52 hours in the truck to get a boat. I have used them a few times and had great luck. I bought my Sanger from Reeding Ca and had it delivered to Houton TX for 1600.00 and that was when fuel was much higher than now. I did the math and it only cost me 350.00 more for them to bring it to me than go get it myself. and 350.00 was well spent to not live in the truck for 4-5 days. Just my .02
I also had a motorcycle shipped from Fl to TX this year and cost me 350.00 total.

It is for saftey more than coolness. As brad said when you approach triple digits and something happens to the motor this device will help keep the boat from swaping ends. not to say you will still not come out but it is nice to have. I do not have one for the TX yet but when the new motor goes into it in a month or so it will have one installed. You have to move the motor forward by 5" to make room for it but well worth every penny imo.

This boat has seen alot of salt water. Look at the clean out and the rust one the braided lines by it. Does not mean that it is a POS just may want to take a closer look at it and if you still like then go for it.

micheal jackson was 90% plastic, so they decided to melt him down and make lego blocks out of him so that kids could play with him for a change.

Trailers / Re: Trailer tires vs. car tires
« on: June 25, 2009, 02:22:05 PM »
IMO car tires work better for light loads, trailer tires are better for the trailer and easier to move but they do not last for $hit and as little milage as we put on our trailers car tires are the way to go. As far as brand any major name brand will work just fine. My .02

No really sounds like the cables and the solenoid are the issues here. I have a boat with a ford and one with a chevy both have the same issues at times with the starter. Tap on it with a hammers when you have this issue and it will more than likely work. They do get stuck from time to time and need a little nudge
