« on: May 17, 2014, 07:11:04 PM »

From what I hear its a happenin spot on the big weekends
Either jungle beach above the 10, goose/the island or hippy hole are the spots for sure.

I'll be running around between hippe hole and goose flats be in a black rogers and my buddy has a green hawian if you see me stop buy and I'll  help you drink your beer.
Hippy hole is really far down river from goose flats. It's almost 15 miles or more. I wish my boat would make it down there.

The No Wake Zone / Re: Engine oil drain
« on: May 16, 2014, 01:50:40 PM »
I'm a cheap bastard, and I like to know its done right. I change all my own oils.

So oils are 5w/30, 20/50, ect........forget u straight 50 boys......

The question: is it better to drain these multi-grade oils cold better.....? 20cold/50warm.....should drain better cold.....right?

I have always warmed my engine before draining.......technology says thats wrong......

What say U?

i always warm the oil up till it hits about 190 then use an oil sucker. Best 130 bucks ive ever spent.

Dose the pump have four  or just two

Sent from my SCH-I535 using SoCal Jet Boats mobile app
The Bennett pump has 4. Two on the outside of the cover and 2 on the inside of the cover.

1383
I think only need two to run the system one for up and one for down in less the other two are for back up in case one go out on you

Not true, there are 2 up and 2 down. if one goes out, its out.

1384
which pump are you looking at?



or


The Bj's pump is hands down a better diverter pump. Those bennett pumps are piles of crap. I went threw 4 in one year, one cost me a race.
It may be 500 bucks for the bj's but well worth the headache of those pile of crap bennetts.

BTTT, for a few more questions. Been searching all I can on stringer repairs, and getting some conflicting thoughts and ways of doing it.
I see some people stand firmly by "marine grade" wood only, and some say regular wood that's layed up and saturated with 'glass. Saw another post on the internet about using pressure treated, to prevent future rot, and also redwood, which is a natural (for the most part) rot proof wood, layed up in 'glass.

Next is the way of attaching the stringer to the hull. Thick consistency of resin and cabosil, subfloor construction  adhesive (NOT sold on that one!!), or marine grade adhesive? I kinda like the marine adhesive, as I've heard that it is almost impossible to separate the items after they are attached, it's waterproof, flexible, and once the stringer is 'glassed in and marine adhered, it seems like it is a permanent repair. Seems like the cabbed, resin will set up solid and hard and like has already happened, it could crack/separate after some use since there is little flex?
Thoughts, experiences??!

They way i lay up all my stringers is first start with kiln dryed 1X4 or 2X4, i use dougless fur or a hardwood of some kind. Make a Jig to hold the stringers and lay them down on a layer or 2 of 3oz cloth and apply as much weight as you can down on them.

After its cured, i lay down cabosil along the bottom of the stringer and the floor to make a nice curved transition. Fiberglass doesn't like to lay down at a 90 degree angle.

I layup stringers with anywhere from 18 to 24 oz of glass. so it's up to you how you want to go about that. i use alternating layers of 10 oz mat and 3 oz cloth till i get what iam looking for. hope this helps

Yes on the gps. No pitot speedo. Turning an "a" impeller to 5500rpm. How fast with a "B" or "BC".

A half cut will gain you 150 rpm and a full cut will get you 300. i would go to a B and leave it.

hulls need to flex.  if you toss something in that rigid you're jsut gonna get cracks wherever the weakest point is at.
Exactly. Fiberglass needs to flex, the aluminum won't. If your just looking to do something different, I've been hearing a lot of talk about all carbon fiber stringers or composit stringers. Cool thing about the carbon is it will never rot. But it's stupid expensive last time I checked.

yep he pretty much covered it. if you go south there is a lagoon they call hippie hole. but most of the MC crew will be on socal beach, or mob beach, depending on what group you are talking to. OR in goose flats. Keep looking off to your left once you past the power lines. you will see a small opening with a no wake buoy. that is the entrance to goose flats

What no wake buoy tony? that chit is long gone, be careful going in there. The toolies have grown in really thick and theres only enough room for one boat at a time to go in and out.

I wasn't sure if that was youse guise. The floats looked familiar, but I'm terrible with that kind of shit lol. I did check my phone for a text, the trip was kind of unplanned so I didn't post, it was a **** this shit I need to drive fast.

I'll be out memorial and for Chris' wedding on the 7th of June, should be a great season. I got into that storage you're all in and it's nice. I'm digging that so far.

that wedding should be a blast!!!

« on: May 12, 2014, 09:24:32 PM »
To do that the right way it should be glassed from both sides. That means flipping the boat. Something like this I can see somebody charging 400 or more. Plus the price of resin has doubled in the last year.
