I shut the garage door...X2
Personally I think the boat is fighting itself.... Full down means its pushing the bow down on the water and basic physics the water is pushing back....and its a never ending battle (hop)X2 on the fat chicks. They are never an option. The extra weight is never worth the risk. Even mid week when no one is around...lol
What happens if you run it mid nozzle (straight)?
Is it only a problem with a lot of weight (number of people not fat chicks) in the boat?
If youre cruising at a mild speed and it starts hopping, if you raise it a few hundred RPMs, does it get better/worse?
And under any circumstances, fat chicks are never a solution.

They are forged... they are the "truck" style rods, which are the better of the two (actually 3) versions of the 3/8 bolt stock rods. Resize with ARP bolts in them and they'll be plenty fine for a 150 shot...Same here with my 67' Camaro 275 shot with a four speed never had any problems. Like I said good bolts is the key. 396 .030 forged crank & 10:1 pistons squeezed the shit out of it....never should've sold that one!!!!
matter of fact... with a good tune, I've thrown 275 at a set of beamed and shot peened 3/8 rods w/ARP "pro" bolts and they took it perfectly fine for dozens of bottles worth of passes. GM rods are really not as bad as people like to claim them to be... You'd be amazed at what you can reliably build with on a nicely built/machined 2 bolt studded, balanced cast crank, 3/8 ARP bolt rod, bottom end.
So are the factory forged rods not as good as the aftermarket stuff? I'm going to throw a 100-150 shot of spray on it, I'm buying forged pistons but I wasn't sure if the rods would hold but I guess since they're forged I should be ok?Just make sure to use good bolts. That's the weak link IMO

Ill post in the next day or two about the jet and gears. It can be for electric or gas. Also add a little wait in it. Like the waits they use on car rims not the ones around the rim but the ones u put on the inside of the rim that are flat and stick on.Hey mike I think that post was for a different thread. JMO

Not married to it, in fact I wiil change it out later' just trying to get it going and taking every body advise. The problem is mula!!I here you on that one. It always comes down to money. The lotto would come in handy.
Should I be thinking of putting some sort of oh sh*t handle for my passenger? I was thinking of something mounted to the stringer. Mainly for shut down to keep them in the seat. I never really thought about it since I have the wheel to hold on too. I don't find myself in the pass seat too often.That's pretty much what I was thinking. Just something to keep her butt in the seat.
I am gonna pipe in on this one seeing as though I'm in the passenger seat most of the time... My hubby (All Fired Up) put an 'oh shit bar' in our boat for me up front... (It's on the side by my leg) I do grab it quite often... It's got nothing to do with being scared or anything like that... It's more just to help me keep my ass in my seat at certain times! 😁
