Aluminum strips across the carb openings riveted to the scoop, hole in them for a bolt into the carb.

The No Wake Zone / Newb question.....
« on: June 10, 2014, 04:36:41 PM »
When I back my Daytona 19 in to the water it seems as if there is an air pocket in the pump.  When I fire it up the pump and water cooling doesn't work for about a minute and then it makes like a burp sound and starts pumping.  Is this a normal jet boat thing or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks, 35 years of owning boats, first time with a jet, lots of questions.

The No Wake Zone / Wednesday night speed alley gathering?
« on: June 10, 2014, 08:53:27 AM »
I heard folks have been getting together on Wednesday evenings in the old speed alley on Havasu for a few weeks now.  Regular thing?  I'm not up there often during the week but I will be in a few weeks and wanted to check it out if it's going on regularly.

Any bottom work done to it ?


Sent from my iPhone using SoCalJetBoats mobile app

Doesn't look like it, hard to say until I flip it this winter, pump isn't set back, no loader.  History is kind of sketchy on the boat so I am figuring out most everyone on my own.  When engine was built it dyno'd at 718 hp, isky cam, head work, forged internals.

The No Wake Zone / Got my Daytona 19 running this weekend
« on: June 08, 2014, 05:42:11 PM »
After four trips to the ramp she's running great.  The culprit was the carbs needed rebuilding and then we discovered electrical gremlins in the rats nest of wiring under the dash.  The key switch was bad.  The boat would run fine in the garage and at the ramp but on the lake every wave would jar the switch and it was cutting power or dropping voltage to 8 to the motor.  Tossed the key and went with a switch and push button starter.

So here is the question.  It's a 454, .30 over, dual 600's, 11 to 1 pistons, b impeller, droop snoot, jet O Vator.  At wide open throttle I'm at 6000 rpm and we hit 74 mph.  It just feels like it could go faster, like if it were a car it would need a gearing change.  It hits really hard out of the hole, but runs out of prop so to speak at the top end. 

Different impeller?

Ok! Just rode in it! Nice looking but the 350 is a disappointment . 54mph top speed with no whiplash.  My mild 460 would walk all over it. Too bad, really nice

I've never heard any good dealings with "cheetahs Bob".
Most recently with the Wicked molds.....which he probably didn't know anything about but still went forward with even after the fact.

-beerjet-

Agreed, I have never dealt with him personally but there have been alot of threads over the years about "cheetah bobs" antics.

The No Wake Zone / 78 Daytona 19, trying to track down some history on it
« on: June 02, 2014, 10:02:18 AM »
I bought this boat from a guy in Havasu, he bought it in 99 from a guy that went by the name "Bear".  When he bought it in 99 it was already done in white with the "forkin beautiful" on the sponsons.

Anyone know any past owners of this boat?

Also, it's fully capped which I know eliminator didn't do in 1978, so somewhere along the way somebody made some major changes.  I want to remove some of the white paint to see what the original gel colors were.

Thanks, Walt

Miscellaneous / Spam / Gas dryer / cheap - 2 / 30 packs
« on: June 02, 2014, 09:40:34 AM »
It's not beautiful but it cooks clothing hotter than any dryer I have ever used.  I I rebuilt the drum guides and rollers about a year ago and put a new belt on it so it's very quiet.

Years ago somebody left a pen in their pocket so there is now a nice disco looking ink stains on the drum, but the ink is long gone.

It's located in Anaheim Hills, will sell for $50 or two 30 packs of Coors Light.

Saw some pearl purple he did on some rims, it looks just like anodizing.  After the summer I'm going to strip the boat and bring everything.  They can also do a trailer.
