From what I can see, a few old tires. two boats with tow straps hooked to it and a couple guys on shore, should be able to flip it easily. If anything, I would jack it up or lift it and maybe put a tire or two under the shoreline side gunwales of it, then put a few out there to catch it once you flip it. It's already kinda angled to flip easily, with a few guys on shore to get it lifted up and going. Getting it off the shore will be a method of pulling it a little and moving the tires then, over and over again.  The problem is to go easy with the pulling boats, something none of us are used to, lol.

(Pulled many a backhoe and bulldozer out of the muck, rivers, etc. even a few flipped backhoes)

Can be done with one boat, I would think, but the more the merrier, and easier. Be safe on this guys, stay clear when the boats are pulling!

Gawd this is exciting! wish I was there already!

Nah, we had a laugh on ya, sorry, dropped you an e-mail JIC we offended you, wasn't the intention.

As far as the seal, can't really tell what you have around that polished pump, or what pump it is, really.

Tom'd be the answer guy, otherwise, if can't be siliconed, I dunna what to tell you.

There is this guy on here though, his name is on the tip of my tongue, with absolutely insane welding, machining and fabrication skillz, anyone help me out here? You guys know, the one building the injected and blown dealio out of an Enderle hat?

Ray

Certainly someone else read TJ's threads?

There you have it, now what was the question again?

Ray

Whose wedding was this?



Sorry, looked like fun, lol 

Ray

set-up/set back (or not ) will/should be predicated on the boat (bottom & hull design) the horse power and what you want the boat to do , send me the pics as an email I'll try to post them OR go to  photobucket.com create an account (free) and "drag and drop them in you post ! Welcome Tom

Yup! Photobucket's still the only way I can post pics here (Quiet Glenn, I know how much enjoyment you got outta my pain on that).

You can share the pics via email, whatever, AND, Besides, it saves B-rads server space as well. It's a win win.

Ray

Got some here too, lol does you guys no good morrow tho.

Ray

Way to go Elwood. Sounds like things came together.

Ray

Ray, bring the boat up..I'll meet you half way and take it to the lake.  I dont thing we want to wait anymore. the longer we wait the further away the water is getting. water is WAY down from where it was for the Temple Bar trip.

Tied up the rest of this week Jeremy, Taking them both out on Sunday again to Saguaro. Next week, lemme get back to you what days off I got. No Problem, best to use the Biesemeyer though, a lot more grunt, I would think. The Moo only shines at high speed, and with no diverter, I dunno, whichever one, lol.

Ray

Oh and reg # az3303P looks like to me.

Only had 1 notice, back during my divorce, once they knew about that, in the same courthouse, I was sent home, lol.

Haven't had one since. Might have something to do with owning registered machine guns, I dunno.

Ray

That is still true, everyone still, even at the marina bars, gather to watch what they hear as potential bad ass boats run. Had a Deputy do so on the dock at Bartlett a few weeks ago, I think.

So what's the problem?

I think as long as you don't drive like an ass, you're ok.

Just my Personal Opinion.

Ray

And why the hell would you just want to "Putt" around in a blown and injected boat? THAT is rediculous!

Here's Tom's number 805-466-4718 (My blackberry might have them mixed up, but if this is your personal number Tom, forgive me)

Doubt if the pumps the problem though. I'm not an expert, but sounds to me like you're either have too  much impeller or not enough motor. Topping out at 4200 rpm is NOT ideal for a jet boat as I understand the charts and curves. 5000 rpm seems to be the baseline for max impeller effectiveness. More speed, smaller impeller, makes sense, BUT, much more HP involved to turn that impeller at speed. It's not as simple as adding 50 HP and dropping from a "B" to an "A".  The "A" impeller takes more HP than most advertised engine hp make to make it work properly . The engine HP needs to be aimed specifically at 5000 rpm. That's quite a bit different than a street or drag engine. Tom will chime in and correct me on this if I'm way off base, but that's my understanding of it.

It's an exponential computation that I think not many of us (Me included), other than Crewcheif, could not get a handle on anyway. Use the charts and be realistic, not optimistic, about your estimated HP.

I have a similar problem in my cruiser, and am working on changing out the intake, carb and ignition to grab a few more horsies and rpm as I beleive that is the problem. Probably gonna get more involved such as a cam, springs, etc. This winter the cruiser may see a new engine geared for what it should be.

Just my .02

Ray

I wanna see THAT!

Don't think it's a good idea, but still wanna see it!

My kids like to wear shooting muffs when they have to ride in the rear seats (On the sides of the engine cover) in My mini-day, and it has logs, snails and TT tips. It's still THAT loud at speed, well, it's whopping 48 MPH! (I'm working on it, guys!)
