Where's "All the Above"  ;D

Laughlin is about the best because you have the option for Mojave, Avi, Needles, or Moabi... cheap rooms and a little nightlife.

The No Wake Zone / Re: question about rough water,staying afloat
« on: March 21, 2008, 01:00:16 PM »
Get in a cove... use only an anchor and let the boat stay pointed in the wind.  DO NOT beach it, the waves will come over the back and sink it.

If youre out in the middle keep the bow up by only using enough throttle to stay off plane and head into the wind.  If you try to go against the wind the waves will break over the side and down you go.

How do I know all of this?  Havasu weekends in my 19' Nordic.  ;D

Engines / Engine Parts For Sale / **Tunnel Ram w/ 2 fresh 850's COMPLETE!
« on: February 20, 2008, 12:47:52 PM »
Weland Tunnel Ram COMPLETE ready to install on your rect. port 454!

-2 850 Holley's being gone through as we speak
-Linkage
-Rex fuel rail
-All lines with gauge
-Dooley scoop WITH flame arrestors and cover

The carbs hasn't seen fuel for a few years so I’m having them gone through. The anodizing has faded on the fittings and the scoop needs a polish.

I'll get more pics when I pick it up this Sunday but this is what I have for now.



You guys know how much all of this would go for, especially the carbs, scoop and arrestors!

Yea it pretty much sucked. They have us working both the Centurion and Reinell Booths. I never seen it so dead like this year. Somehow though the jet guys always find me, so it was cool talking shop with some other jet boaters.. If anyone gets bored come on by and say hi. Sure helps pass time thats for sure!

I started with oven cleaner and had to use steel wool to get the good ol' 70's paint off. Washed it off with soap and water, then went over the area with rubbing compound to get rid of the swirl marks the wool left behind.

I have to thank Brad for the oven cleaner idea... MEK didn't even touch it.

Years ago I had a 4WD Dodge Ramcharger that I put a ton of parts into, locker up front, limited slip in back, 35" mud/snow tires, traction bars, winch, etc etc etc... the truck was a bulldozer with tires instead of tracks and it would go anywhere. I decided to take the family to the snow, CHP told me to put chains on my tires or turn around and go home. Freakin' ridiculous.

Just got back from bishop... same story with a 87' Blazer and 35's. we were just headed up 395 to mess around so it didn't kill our plans.

time for those fancy cables... fit my truck like a glove and never any problems

You shouldn't have to drill through unless the old bolts won't come out or the heads are broken. I'd keep the standard threads or re-tap larger if you have to, then double nut on the interior side. Grind off excess bolt length or get lucky and buy the right size... stainless of course.

That's alright... I had an audience once at the Nautical Inn. The security guard was nice enough to shine his spotlight on us so everyone could enjoy. Oh, im glad I have a closed bow once again! ;)

Have you checked the oil in the bowl and/or added grease to the front bearing?

Grease yes, I'll check the bowl oil... 80WT right?

I think we all know the heart of Hotboat was in just jets... it was the only place a question got answered and decent information shared... it seems this site is on its way to filling that void.
However, the rest of the site was GREAT entertainment and by far the best place to buy and sell stuff... a valuable resource lost.

On another note… did anyone read the letter from the editor in the new mag! The ditsy chick who’s running the thing is fresh out of college… seems her only boating experience is flashing her rack on daddy’s boat. The ship is sinking fast boys.
