That thing looks absolutely incredible! Good work Proppy! I hope she runs as good as she looks!

Ray

Didn't notice it before, but I love how you did the o/b dumps! That's VERY cool!

Your brother know my brother??

Ray

You bringing the Boss and Rebecca?

I'm kinda thinking the same thing. But it stayed on forever until the Hyfire unit fell off the firewall and knocked it off the first time (good thing too, woulda destroyed the hyfire!). The belt flipped inside out and always is when it comes off. Ordered a reduction deep groove crank pulley, any ideas or anyone have a larger deep groove alt pulley layin around? Gonna try a new belt when the pulley gets here, hopefully that'll fix it!

Ray

Use a standard pulley and drill then break off the outer pulley, viola, single pulley!

Just bought a billet aluminum single sheave dealio, it's with my lil brother (machinist/boat burner) to see if he can reproduce better and deeper grooved, news at 11 on that.

Ray

Lol I like it! but sumpin ain't right here........

Ray

Also just noticed the Army Tarp I Guess covering the sun bleached thing and the missing hand hole cover on the pump. This is a 5K boat??

I'm selling the Hallett B-rad sent down here for 4k!!!

John, That is FUNNY!

Yeah, back to the original concept here, I support whole heartedly!

Just to toss a couple things in here I picked up both here and on the PB thread on this whole matter, the Moo now carries 4 extinguishers! Don't care what, who or how the fire started, gonna be able to stop it!

Back to your regular scheduled programming.......

Ray

Never thought about that part Ralph! But how good does Tony Stewart feel right now about leaving Joe Gibbs over the Toyota deal because he was dead on set to run Chebbies?

Good food for thought in all racing circles

Ray

It'll be fun running with you guys, my boat is no were near 600HP Ray   Do you plan on racing that weekend?

Lol no, I'm too old and tired to try racing anyone. Just wanted to build a fast boat, which I did, and now Terry has me building a faster one, lol. (Although this Compjet thing has my interest).

If we get into some friendly drags next weekend, well, i ain't gonna say no either! This is all about fun, and what I wanted my kids exposed to. My kids talk about the experiences on the boats all the time (Driving their mother nuts right now, she just texted me a couple hours ago to see if I could send a boat up there to shut them up, lol!)

They know nothing of the blue one burning and sinking, and that's gonna be hard on my son. 'tis why Terry and I are doing the V-drive thing! The kids had enough, hopefully, we can have it done when they come back July 29th. Should make him VERY happy!

Ray

Edit: Should also mention that since scaring my son half to death at Mead with the Moo, (Her first launch) he's been pretty laid back about how fast I go and doesn"t seem to mind the speed so much. He warned me to not hot rod the blue meaney too much (It was getting the Moo's old Performer RPM and a new marine 850 i bought), or he'd not be happy, lol. I guess that's not a problem now...............

Yeah, I heard. I'm not even in the same area code as that guy from what I've seen. Just needed to be able to toss even a little one since I saw how much fun it was on the (RIP) Biesemeyer.

It should be ok, it'd toss a little one on it's own at max speed if you feathered the throttle just right.

It'll be fun running with you guys! Some of them have already seen this thing run, just not with the current configuration. A work in progress, hopefully we can get the thing tuned properly this week. Been running it relentlessly on it's initial settings, which are obviously close!

Ray

Looked at that, but it's not hitting anything externally. soooo the grindings gonna be on the inside of the bell, if any. That makes me nervous, lol. It would appear that that's about as far as it can go though. Offset Pins? just thought of that!

Now my lil brain is werkin!

Yah! need more cowbell!
