steel is fine if you're running a closed loop cooling system with coolant... but it wont last long with straight water.  use brass.

The No Wake Zone / Re: bahner vs tahit day cruiser?
« on: September 03, 2014, 09:42:07 PM »
having owned both a tahiti 18 and a bahner 21... the tahiti is the lesser of the two.  bahner has much better quality fiberglass work, attention to detail, etc.  the tahiti was almost "thrown together" is if they were trying to crank them out as fast as they could.  some areas in the bilge had 1/2" thick pools of resin that add absolutely 0 strength to the hull.  it was flimsy, the deck shook, hell the whole boat shook when you'd get in mild chop.

look at this video... im in some fairly GOOD water and you can see my seat bases wobbling around.  keep in mind this is a brand new floor, brand new seat bases fiberglassed to teh floor, etc.  i did some things to improve it, full stringers, bulkhead, gunwale supports, etc but it was NEVER close in comparison.



my bahner is solid as a rock compared to the tahiti. 

i dont want to discourage you from the work you've already done and moving forward in your project.  but pretty soon the season will be over and there will be a giant flood of project hulls at dirt cheap to work with.  good hulls like rogers, hallets, spectras, etc.

Have you been in any rough water with yours yet? I'd be worried about the strength. My bow Flexes a lot when in rough water you can watch it. Kinda freaky but no stress marks.

I would think converting it would make it a little more structurally sound

yeah mine flexes too... but in my tahiti i added a bulkhead and it got rid of all of that.  so its either i add a bulkhead or make it an open bow.

do lose a lot of storage dont ya

yah.  im wondering if i convert it to an open bow, and switch to a belly tank, i could get more storage on the sides, speakers, pockets, etc.  i dunno what id really do with a ski locker.  none of us actually ski and if we ever wanted to the mother in law has a wakeboard boat with plenty of storage on their rack for that stuff.

they have the same jacket lol

do you have one of these yet? Natallie absolutely loves it, and gets PISSED if we take her out of it. Target, it was like 10 bucks



ahh thats pretty cool lookin.  we're gonna skip this season and head out first thing next season.  i just gotta figure out where im gonna put all these toys in the boat.  haha.  im "toying" with the idea of cutting it down the middle and turning it into an open bow.  thats why i never installed my floor all the way up to the front of the boat.  it stops maybe 3-4' under the deck.

You probably know more than i do. But i thought anytime an infant was in the boat they had to wear their life jacket?

I ask because i  typically bring my gf and our 1yo. And she HATES the life jacket but i make her wear it the whole time

thanks

yup we're a "safety first" bunch.





we just took it off for that one pic, we were sitting in a cove, motor off, etc.

Does this thing log any data? Or is it just real time readings? There website didn't really say either way.

Live view only no logging. Can pull codes as well. Its about the size of a business card but thicker obviously.

leave your stock air intake alone if you're worried about your mpg.  more air = needs more gas. 

if you REALLY want to know what your car is doing get one of these:



its called an "ultra gauge" and it costs about $60.  it plugs into your vehicles ODBII port and it will give you EVERY detail about your car.  maf, throttle position, o2 sensor readings, fuel trims, cam advance, timing, spark, etc.  you'll know exactly why you're burning excess fuel.

i used to run a set of breathers like that in my old mustang and they ALWAYS leaked all over.  then i switched to an oil catch can and PCV setup and all was fixed.  its the best of all worlds... you keep the oil from being sucked up into the intake, coating everything and then burned...  and you deal with the positive crank pressure.

No I had it on a couple different sites. I had it for sale for a few months kaotyk had to take a beating on it..... The worst part about it is I sold it to buy another boat but that one sold  today before I could get there. Lol! What can you do......

Sent from my iPhone using SoCalJetBoats

the base towing capacity for them is quite low, and is also dependant on your rear axle gear ratio...

Meh... To each his own, but stainless is too brittle for me. I like steel.... They have the chrome ones too....  O0

For about 1/3 the price tag. :sly:

how much force are you putting on your throttle cable that you need it to be grade 8 steel?  you got a heavy foot!   ^-^

put a piece of duct tape on the inside, mix up a little batch of thickened epoxy and fill the hole, sand it smooth, paint it black.  could be fixed in all of an hour if that...

I've gotten the same letter and my truck has the economy ppe tuner which means my truck barely coughs if at all a black cloud. There done at random to diesel owners to scare them. Why is it such a stick up the ass to you anyways ? It really has nothing to do with you am I right ?


Sent from my iPhone using SoCal Jet Boats

because unfortunately it fuels the fire behind environmentalists, etc to put even more restrictions on things that you and i enjoy, not to mention anyone in the future.  its not a "scare tactic" as big rigs already require huge EXPENSIVE retrofits to be clean or complete engine replacements with new emissions standards and consumer trucks have expensive lame regen systems tacked onto their already expensive pricetags.  all for what?  to blow some smoke at people?
