By the time you get all into window switches, solenoids, regulators, yadda yadda yadda. From what I hear these motors like juice, maybe I'll try it. If I blow it up another $500 gets me goin again

The price I looked at was complete, solenoids and all. Dunno what a window switch is, don't care. Personally, don't like the idea of nitrous on a boat for any reason. Just begging for LEO attention and problems IMO. However, CAN make for some short bursts of tremendous fun!

Or look for a pair of Nicson or Edelbrock flame arrestors.........look badass on a twin carb deal!

i will try to check on that this week, ive got finals monday and tuesday so probably wednesday. I appreciate the help because i dont know where to start!

GT tells the truth. Total timing after advance rolls in is the only thing that matters. In fact, locked out timing even better, BUT can make the thing a little finicky to start.

The only other thing that is haunting my brain on this is the assumption it's an "A" impeller. Safe assumption normally on most boats, but this is an SST. One of the most modified and raced hulls out there, so I would be pulling the pump and disassembling just to make sure and KNOW what is in there. Could easily be that the pump is set up for the 700+ hp range at much higher rpm or varous combinations thereof.

Good news and bad news. Good news is, you have an SST, one of the most flexible and fun hulls out there! Bad news is, you have an SST, one of the most hot-rodded and raced hulls ever out there!

Yeah I see that now, by looking at the prices of stuff to run n2o, it would be cheaper to turbo

How do you figure that? a 125 shot plate system is under $400, adjustables to 200 not a whole lot more. Wouldn't try more than 125 unless the engine was built for it anyway, myself, just as you would a turbo/blower motor.

Ray

OK, This is shameless, cheap, and downright wrong to call him out, BUT..............

Guys, do we WANT Propless to bring out his new V-Drive to the FD event at BR?.........I say YES!

Cripes! How epic! Propless with a prop, for one, but THAT is minor. He's scared he's gonna hafta be towed in...........HDrider was towed in by a sail boat once and then the Taliban another time.....so what? And afraid we're gonna make fun of him.......well.....YEAH! Of course! You got a long way to go to beat Danny boy's Oldsmobile BBQ, though.

So, and only the cats going to this, chime in as to WHY we need Proppy to arrive and take Daniels room at this event!

Ray

I'll take the 8-71 mooneyham blower. Keith will pick it up. You guys can work out a price. He doesn't know that either but he will. Maybe he can bring you dessert :-)

LMAO! Well, 2 problems, the 8-71 is a fresh Kuhl (Mike Kuhl hisself before he sold the shop and decided to take on cacklefest all by hisself) triple teflon stripped dealio.
 


The 10-71 is a Mooneyham. Fresh (NEW, IMO), but single teflon striped.



Sooo, In a nutshell, either could probably provide you with +/- 50 PSI boost @ various RPM, depending on drive ratio right out of the box.

But there IS NO 8-71 Mooneyham in my stash.........(kinda like "there is no spoon"......)

Ray

Have him get in touch with me....i can probably pick it up.

Cool, just shot him a text. Funny part was, I completely forgot about it! Someone needed one and I almost ordered it! Now I owe you TWO 12 packs! 

Ray

Also......anyone else need anything brought to/from me or from someone in the PHX valley, lemme know! Gonna have Crewcheif haul a couple small YJ parts for SoCalPSD (Keith don't know it yet, well, he does NOW) but anyone need a JG pump? BBF stuff? 8-71 Kuhl or 10-71 Mooneyham blowers? Sexy-Natalie.com password........anything? 

Ray

Hmmm. I might ask you about that blower in big river after some dessert, say some apple pie :-)

Keith got a Blower?  Does the driver know about this? 

Got a couple of 'em here to, maybe we should bring 'em and have an auction! (Mine's bigger'n yours!     )

Anyway, if you go that route, Dave, I think I still have a Weiand blower intake and misc BBC drive parts out in the shed. I keep the Chebbie stuff out there because they tend to set a bad example when I bring them into the dining room with the other stuff.........

Ray

Ill boat bitch for someone, I need some river time, ill even sleep in my truck, sure miss my scjb brothers!

You can boat bitch for any of us, you know that!

If I remember right, and I lived in Jamestown NY for some time years ago and quite awhile in PA (similar) But all vehicles, even off road, are titled and registered only with the DMV. In PA, I know it can all be done through any notary public, easy enough and registration was handled on the county level at the courthouse (same place you get a fishing license). In NY, probably through the DMV itself only. Check with them what they need. Probably like Cali, where you need a special Bill Of Sale form, notarized, dance through a lot of hoops, DNA sample, NCIC background check, etc..... I would think.   

I remember once buying a cheapo car while in NY, guy lost the title and I even went with him to the DMV to file for a duplicate. It never showed, did it again, STILL never showed, even though their computer showed, yeah, this guy owned the car! 3 months later I ended up dragging the guy with me across the lines to Ohio (I still had an Ohio license) with his bill of sale, titled and registered it in Ohio, THEN took it back to NY and tansferred it to me. 8 months after all that............NY title for this guy shows up! 

Ray

That boat is complete junk, recalled, and you need to send it out here so I can dispose of it properly per Hazmat regulations........

Seriously, good find! Been in the market for a good one (For what I'm gonna do to the poor thing) for some time. What pump is in it? Beleive it or not, I've seen them with Panthers, Jacuzzi's and even one with a Drake. Sleek was nowhere near brand loyal when it came to rigging boats. Berk/Dominator/American Turbine/Aggressor is what you want for that hull! It WILL rock!

Don't really matter much what engine you put in there. Glad it's a Ford, but other than that, sounds like going from scratch. Original engine mounts on the SST were a little weird in that they bolted through the hull on tops on the tunnels. Big holes, weird pedestal mounts, not needed. Those holes I would carefully 'glass back in and use a rail kit (many sell them on here, JBP, Cyclone, etc) bolted through the stringers, and yes there are stringers glassed into the insides of the tunnels clear to the front of the boat, and mount your motor of choice off that using motor plates for whatever engine you're installing. Be aware of driveline angles, etc, many threads on that here.

That being said, the quagmire with the SST is that even though its already 20' long, it LOVES a set back pump. If you're looking for total performance, or, god forbid it has a Jacuzzi and you're changing anyway, it responds well to setbacks. A lot of 'glass work doing it, however, and it seems to respond best to a set back that puts the "hand hole" cleanout cover directly in the middle of the transom, rendering it useless.

Good luck, and get some pics up!!

Be careful mixing greases..

To get the "bad" grease gun to work simply put it upside down and thump it a few times on the ground, if concrete use a block of wood...

BTW "RED" don't mean squat. It is just dye...

GT

Exactly, save for the lithium variety. Berk states whatever 90W in the bowl, and on those I've stuck with Lucas. Out of the 7 or so jet boats that have passed through my hands, 2 were set up with zerks for grease. Moo being one. In those bowls, I used Pennzoil 302 Multi pupose stuff. Only reason, noone knew what SHOULD be in there, and it's what pops used religiously on the backhoes, trackhoes, trenchers, etc. But on wheel bearings, or anything else high speed, dad always used Pennzoil 707 (Pricey, same "red" color you're talking about, but that means nothing, really). Always had cases of both on a job site and 2 grease guns. 

Second, replace the zerk fittings in your bearing buddies. Probably just those.
