Boat Showcase / Re: Bass boat
« on: March 19, 2010, 09:13:44 PM »
One of my managers, who's been into boats since he was a kid in Oregon. Rode on a couple of my boats, don't think he's ever been on Moo, but was showing me today some guy building Gas Turbine jet boats (Cool as hell). Then I showed him yours on this thread! I think he had the same reaction Beerjet did!

Be proud of that thing! THAT is a work of art! (I'm partial to metalflake these days.........)

Engine Mechanical / Electrical / Re: New headers
« on: March 19, 2010, 08:26:59 PM »
I'm unaware of anyone making S/S boat headers for the SBC. Maybe, but I bet they're chrome, but as far as blueing, just deal with it! They're gonna blue up to a bit beyond the water injection lines no matter what you do. That's how a trailer queen is discerned from a boat thats used a lot anyway, take it as a badge of honor.

OC2 has a point, they NEED to get off the transom. Fires can start that way! Those fockers get HOT! I thought Moo's engine mounted low, HOLY CRAP!

Looking good though! I'd really be looking into getting that engine up where it needs to be though. At least a little. Else go TT and call it a day......

Did good!  :thumbup:

Personally, for the 2k, I think there's better deals on better known hulls out there. This MIGHT be a great hull, but who knows?
And as John said, you can't see everything or test drive it. I paid quite a bit less than that for Moo, complete, with a blown engine, including the owner driving it here frm Atscadero, Cali.

Just sayin.........

Moo's got the same issues, save for the head unit location is already there in it, so why not?

Be interesting to see what you come up with on yours, I know I'm scratching my head a bit on mine!

Interesting looking thing. No Idea what it is, but kinda how Nordie found his Hydro!

Although his Hydro was in a LOT better condition. That trailer is about scrap, and there's probably 50 gallons of water in the front of the boat.  >:D I'd pass unless it were free! Would be worth talkin to the guy, maybe. Might be a good story behind the boat.

Gelcoat / Paint / Fireberglass Repair / SS Tank Install Questions.
« on: March 17, 2010, 11:02:12 PM »
Ok, So I got these 15 Gallon Imcos home I got from Brad awhile back, started figuring what needed to be done to install the buggers. One of two things needs to happen, either the fuel fills need to be relocated on the tanks, or the fills in the hull need movin'. (They're still in the truck, haven't unloaded a damn thing since I got back from Temple).







So here's my thoughts about it, overthinking things....AGAIN.....probably. The original tanks filler necks are roughly 38" from the rear of the tanks to the center. The Imco's are 56 1/2" same measurement, near the fronts of the tanks in both cases. If I relocate the fill necks on the tanks, they'll be shy a half dozen inches from being in the middle of the tanks. They'll fit physically, but I'm worried fuel is gonna slosh everywhere with the vented fills in the middle with fairly full tanks. I'm also aware I may not even be able to ever get them quite full anyway set up like that, and the sending unit will have to be relocated on the starboard tank as well to do this.

Converse of that is messing up a nearly perfect, save the dock rash everyone knows about, gel coat that Nordie showed me how to make really pop! The Dock rash would be a fairly simple and hard to notice repair where moving the fills on the gunnels would not. Also I need someone Like Nick here to do the welding on the tanks if that's the way I'm gonna go. (Actually, I know a guy, but I know he's nowhere near as good as Nick)

Any opinions?

WarZone / Idiot Sightings
« on: March 17, 2010, 11:16:38 AM »
Anyone seen these, Laughed my ASS off this morning!

IDIOT SIGHTING

 We had to have the garage door repaired.  The Sears repairman told us that one of our problems was that we did not have a 'large' enough motor on the opener.  I thought for a minute, and said that we had the largest one Sears made at that time, a 1/2 horsepower.  He shook his head and said, "Lady, you need a 1/4 horsepower."  I responded that 1/2 was larger than 1/4.  He said, "NO, it's not. Four is larger than two..."         

We haven't used Sears repair since.

IDIOT SIGHTING:

My daughter and I went through the McDonald's take-out window and  I gave the clerk a $5 bill.  Our total was $4.25, so I also handed her a quarter.  She said, "You gave me too much money."  I said, "Yes I  know, but this way you can just give me a dollar bill back."  She sighed and went to get the manager who asked me to repeat my request.  I did so, and he handed me back the quarter, and said "We're sorry but we cannot do that kind of thing." The clerk then proceeded to give me back $1 and 75 cents in change.   
   
IDIOT SIGHTING:
I live in a semi-rural area.  We recently had a new neighbor call the local township administrative office to request the removal of the DEER CROSSING sign on our road.  The reason: "Too many deer are being hit by cars out here!  I don't think this is a good place for them to be crossing anymore."

From Kingman, KS.

IDIOT  SIGHTING IN FOOD SERVICE:
My daughter went to a local Taco Bell and ordered a taco.  She asked the person behind the counter for 'minimal lettuce.'  He said he was sorry, but they only had iceberg lettuce.

From Kansas City 

 IDIOT SIGHTING:
I was at the airport, checking in at the gate when an airport employee asked, "Has anyone put anything in your baggage without your knowledge?"  To which I replied, "If it was without my knowledge, how would I know?"  He smiled knowingly and nodded, "That's why we ask."

Happened in Birmingham, Ala.   
 
IDIOT SIGHTING:

The stop-light on the corner buzzes when it's safe to cross the street.   I was crossing with an intellectually challenged co-worker of mine.  She asked if I knew what the buzzer was for.  I explained that it signals blind people when the light is red.  Appalled, she responded, "What on earth are blind people doing driving?

She was a probation officer in Wichita, KS.


IDIOT SIGHTING:

I attended a "good-bye" luncheon for an old and dear co-worker.  She was leaving the company due to 'downsizing.' Our manager commented cheerfully, "This is fun.  We should do this more often."  Not another word was spoken.  We all just looked at each other with that "deer-in-the-headlights" stare.

This was a lunch at Texas Instruments.     

IDIOT SIGHTING:

I work with an individual who plugged her power strip back into itself and for the sake of her life, couldn't understand why her system would not turn on.

A deputy with the Dallas County Sheriff's office, no less. 


IDIOT SIGHTING:

When my husband and I arrived at an automobile dealership to pick up our car, we were told the keys had been locked in it. We went to the service department and found a mechanic working feverishly to unlock the driver side door.  As I watched from the passenger side, I instinctively tried the door handle and discovered that it was unlocked.  "Hey," I announced to the technician, "It's open!"  His reply, "I know.   I already got that side."

This was at the Ford dealership in Canton, MS.


I love this one!:

When I left Hawaii and was transferred to FL, I still had the Hawaiian plates on my car, as my car was shipped from Hawaii . I was parking somewhere (I can't remember) and a guy asked me "Wow, you drove from Hawaii to here?" I looked at him and quickly said "Yep. I took the Hawaii/San Francisco Bridge." He nodded his head and said "Cool!"

STAY ALERT!   

They walk among us... and they VOTE... and they REPRODUCE

LMAO, no noone did! Those are my swim trunks, thank you, and all us old guys wear 'em like that, with black sox and dress shoes.....

In searching for Nordies pic, I realized Becca had reset the camera to 5 MP from 10. Sorry about the pic quality, I didn't think she could do that accidentally. Still looking for that pic though.

Edit: Had to add this!!!

After not showing, HDrider (Terry), sent me this about 2:00 today from Mead. I know we fought some bad water most of the weekend, I think I saw the best of it Friday evening, but still fun. Talk about salt in a wound? LMAO!!!  :thumbup: Thanks Terry!

Had a similar thing happen with the reverse bucket at Big River last year Omar. Ralph had a bolt a nylock nut that fixed it then. When I got home, I took it back out and used red loctite on it and put the nylock back on as well. No more problems!

Looks good! Man you went balls deep on that one!  :thumbup:

I bet it's gonna be a fun sled when it's done. Flex it will, but with all the river running you'll probably be doing, you won't notice it so much. These things will flex quite a bit! You can visibly see one of mine's engine shaking around at idle almost like it was on rubber mounts, and it's all in the 1/4 stringer hull.

Everyone has bigger garages back east Nordie! Can't keep stuff outside like we can either tho  :thumbdown:

Legal and safe are not the same thing.   Ask your tire store (if they really know what they are selling).

Because I love ya Ray, I sharpened up my pencil and in rough numbers your tires turn 60,500 revolutions an hour at 60mph versus  75,700 revs at 75mph.   Dunno if that means much but it did make me remember why I ditched Math class a lot.   >:D

Will do John  ;) I run that fast on the 10 comin to see you guys you know.... ::)

I'll post some pics up of the pipes after I get them back tomorrow. My bud got a guy from U Haul's R&D department to tackle this one with a TIG.  :thumbup:  Better than the $600 Rewarder wants for a set!  :screwy:
