Wait a minute, here's one of them now... even if I found used heads I need for my app/goal they'd cost me $1,400+ and for a little less than another 1K they'd be new. As far as the pile of broken/melted parts, why I ought to  :mad:

 Your right Rod, just charge it .  You can always get home equity loan to pay it off and build the next motor.  :screwy:

 Allright Bahner boy thats about enough lip out of you !   It realy dosnt matter what pistons you use because the only time any of your "project boats" get wet is wen you wash them  :screwy:.  Why dont you save yourself some money and stress and just sit in the boat makeing vroom vroom noises while the wife mists you with a hose  ::).  Besides every one knows Chevy powered boats are faster on the trailer than on the water.  >:D ;D

Hulls / Re: Pickle Fork JET Hydro's
« on: May 17, 2008, 10:55:38 PM »
 I've seen 1  ::).  It was a Sanger "ski hydro", I think thats what the guy called it ?   Looked cool, but I wouldnt want to be out on the lake in it on a holiday weakend  .

 IMO, A jet hydro would take way more power to go fast than a jet tunnel .  Reason beeing the tunnel can hold the trapped air all the way to the transom (creating more lift) and the hydro cant, it will escape from the sides behind the front sponsons (less lift aft of the sponsons).  Hydros work best with a prop that can create lift to fly the hull.  Think flatbottom with training wheels (the little front sponsons).  I'm not saying it cant be done (anything is possible with enough power), but again IMO an 18/19 ft tunnel or gullwing will out perform the jet hydro easily . 

 If I'm thinking about this wrong let me know.

 Leo is doing great  ;D,  Hes a verry good puppy only chewing on his things, not mine, except for socks and he dosnt care if your feet are still in them or not and he bites HARD >:( (thanks Skip nice choice of puppy toys).  He's getting big FAST , I think I can see him growing  :sly: .  He has his next vet visit on monday so we'll see then how much weight he has gained.   He can walk on a leash now, we take short walks every day.

Hulls / Rocker
« on: May 14, 2008, 11:01:22 PM »
 I didnt want to jack the hook thread so I started this one. 

 My project (the 73 Eliminator) has a lot of rocker in the bottom.  Nothing under the boat is flat (curved from bow eye to transome) .  With a 4 ft straight edge from the transome it shows around 1/2" rocker  :o.  It looks like it was built like this, the bottom of the stringers are cut curved . Thay are 5" at the transome, 6" around the front of the motor, back to 5" around the back of the front seats, and about 3 1/2" at the front bulkhead. 

 Does any body have any idea what I should expect from a hull like this ?

Hmmm , I just looked at the Daytona and it has a spacer between the mounting piece and the hull .  Looks like the hull was not deep enough there to fit it all inside, maybe thats the reason for your spacer ?

Rod , maybe someone in the past cut the mounting piece to move the lever away from the side of the boat. It looks like you wouldnt have much clearance to the dash in the forward position without the spacer. :-\    On mine the mounting piece is 1 1/2" deep.

here a pic of all the pieces

That is a good start at getting rid of Jetskis, now if we can find someone to mount Seadoos to bass boats the world will be a safer place.  ;D

Maybe if I ran it on a mix of pump gas, alcohol, soybean diesel, corn gas and NITRO the noise would go away? But would it make any more HP??? :o

  Only if you add one of these systems   :sly:   http://water4gas.com/2books.htm?hop=aaronc1985

 Looking and sounding good Skip !!

btw. There is a guy in Bakersfield that sells some cool fiberglass seats  ;) ;D

Skip just speculating but often times the "noise" you think is coming form the  dampner while runing on the trailer is what we call "machine noise" ,noise that transfers thru the motor from the driveline and jet .I manifests itself as a kind of loud ocillating growl  Tom

 Thats a good point,  My boat sounds funny running on the trailer but as soon as its in the water it sounds fine (some load on the pump and driveline).
