That some cool stuff man. Why are the diverter lines bigger than normal? -6 or so?
They are actually -4, but they do look bigger in the photo.  :thumbup: :thumbup:

Boat Racing / Getting the S/E 177 ready for Phoenix
« on: April 01, 2014, 06:29:14 PM »
Been getting the 177 ready for the phoenix race next weekend. Thought i would share some of the upgrades.


The first thing we changed was the shifter. Its now on air. It goes up and down by a toggle switch on the steering wheel.







I made a block off plate for the old hole that the shifter used.


The second thing we added was a 2 stage timer from B1 Racing. It's activated by a WOT switch, then it controls the nitrous and the up on the diverter. They can be tuned to thousands of a second.

First, I want to be clear - these will only be sold at events and will not be available online in the store. It's kind of a "I was there" thing.  :thumbup:

Here is the 2014 Tour Shirts which I am hoping to have available for sale at the first trip. Let me know what you think.

Jet Pumps / Re: Setting back the pump?
« on: March 30, 2014, 10:04:20 PM »
What is the purpose of moving the intake/pump? Ive been reading about people setting their pumps back...does anyone move them forward?

Sent from my SCH-I535 using SoCal Jet Boats mobile app
Most people set back there pumps for a performance gain, by moving the pump back you are moving the thrust line of the pump back creating more lift. You'll see a lot of race boats and some hotrod river boats with setbacks. Also moving the intake back allows the hand hole to be outside the boat (being able to put a pop off valve on) and makes more room in the drive line to be able to add a jet-a-way.

Jet Pumps / Re: Place diverter and ride plate/shoe
« on: March 30, 2014, 09:47:20 PM »
JMO but a diverter is a must have for any river boat. Makes plaining out much more easy and creates some lift.
The shoe and ride plate makes even more lift. More lift more speed  :screwy: :thumbup: :thumbup:

I run a 4* backcut shoe, ride plate 4.5* up, Tunnel plates @ 3* up, B1 loader with the ramps cut 1 inch above keel, split bowl with all the fixens, racepreped Stainless b/c impeller and a inducer.

The No Wake Zone / Re: Lower river and prop boats
« on: March 27, 2014, 10:07:03 PM »
I know there are a lot of prop boats that run on the river, but is there any one on here that can give some insight to running the props on the lower river areas?
I have a 20 Spectra with an IO.
I am intrested in the areas of laughlin, Needles, Parker, Big River and Aha Quin to Blythe.
My dad runs his ultra IO down by us. He has only taken out 3 props in 10 years lol just aim for the dark spots hal.  :thumbup: :thumbup:

Hey Greg hows it going? Ya ive been taking notes and watchin every move he does on it.. Jeff is a awesome guy and really cool to shoot the shit with. Hes obviously very smart so its fun to pick his brain with different ideas. According to Jeff there is no such thing as a "out of the box" bottom ready to do 130 + so although its not a lot of major work hes doing its more fine detail. He gave me the option since I know bodywork to finish the bottom when he has the overall shape 80% done. So soon as he gives me the green light ill be able to do final detail work, then prime and paint the bottom. Jeffs spent 3 days so far on the bottom and will be finished with his part tomorrow. =)

I picked up intake manifold from powder coater today, so Ill scuff that up tomorrow and shoot it to match the block . Im hoping to have engine back and assembled by the end of April , after they dyno it of course  :thumbup:

Soon as im fished with the bottom ill flip it back over and start on the cap job around the whole boat. That shold be fun  :o ... Not gonna lie, ive never " capped " a boat before, no better way to learn then on ur own brand new boat right ?  :screwy:

Cant wait to spank some v drives this summer  >:D

sam, i said it once and ill say it again. You got from hidden down to walters camp covered once that thing is done.  :screwy: :screwy: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :beer: :beer: :beer:

Well i got the boat flipped over with help from my dad, uncle and grandpa. That thing doesn't weigh all that much. It only took 4 of us to take it off the trailer and flip it.
Before we flipped it, i put all new stainless bolts and nylocks in the intake.

 


Then i added more epoxy and some waterproof bodyfiller to blend in the intake, bolt holes and some small pin holes from the glass. sanded it all down and speed coated the bottom.

I was thinking flat black because I already have some over spray and that would make a lot less work of color sanding and buffing. Should I just do where I "expect" the boat to ride?

Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using SoCal JetBoats mobile app
I start the spray about 1 and a half feet in front of the intake and to the end of boat.

And what is speed coat? Should I do it?

Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using SoCal JetBoats mobile app
It's looking good. Speed coat it's just a graphite paint you spray on the bottom. If you do flat black paint it does about the same thing.

How do you get there by vehicle can't faint it on google maps


Sent from my iPad using SoCalJetBoats
Big river is closer to Parker. McIntyre is south of the 10 freeway.
Take CA95/intake south till it ends and turn left. That's about it.

That would be a negative. Theres a dam in the way, you'll get about as far a twin palms or so. Its about 30 miles south of Aha
