Jet Pumps / Re: Berk "E" pump
« on: February 18, 2009, 03:13:43 AM »
'tis ok Tom, I found this thread very informational, as I have both the E and C pumps, and they are identical bowls as far as I can tell, just the cable routing and the set-back position on the E seems different. Looks a little less race and a little more docile.

Just an extra click and you're concerned?? I haven't even figured out how to post a pic here yet!! Photobucket must be the answer, gonna try that! Engine install in the Sleekcraft Rebel , E pump, happening on Sunday, will post all the pics of the engine build and install then, hopefully, with luck.  Will be interested in a place diverter for the thing if it doesn't sink!.

Wish I could go, but no motor or pump   . I may be on the beach this summer   
 

My dog could pull your hull around the lake, if that helps, i'll bring her if need be. Wouldn't be able to ski behind it, doubt she's that fast, but you'd get some great mileage! I imagine you could get 1/4 mile per hot dog or hamburger.........Maybe more if you put a little chili powder on them. (Dunno why this dog likes hot stuff, just dunno.......)

Or find someone whose trunk latch is inop, sell it as a truck latch. (At speed it'll work)

Never understood the wing to begin with, they're on Front Wheel Drive cars??? They can say what they want about handling or cornering, but still makes no sense physically from any standpoint. A 2400LB car and 70% of the weight is on the front tires. No wing can make up for that. Give me an identical car without the wing, you drive the wing, and I'll still own you. Makes no difference.

2K less motor  i could always use another project boat

lol 2sav, you settin me up? seems you got me in the same situation, or dam near, when you get paperwork TCO.

I agree with the crowd tho, Olds made a good engine, and works well in marine applications, it's just the expense if you rebuild oir try and hotrod one. You'd be better off listening to Raplh and 2Sav, either Ford or Chebbie. Parts are available, and for the Chebbie, cheap.

ON the other hand, back in the day, I built Mopars and Pontiac's. Felt they were, and still do in many regards, superior platforms to build on. That is if you want maximum HP/weight ratio and expense is not an issue. Problem is, parts are hard to find, and expensive when you do. So if you want to build a Ford and Chebbie killer Olds, can be done, but how fat is the wallet?

Thing is amongst the Jet boaters, as I've figured out recently. We are like the old Hot Rodders of the past. We like to build what we can from used and rebuilt parts wherever possible. My kinda crew. Cheap is better than top of the line. We're not building Barrett-Jackson cars here, we'll invest 10k in a boat that's worth 5k. Not 250k in a car to get 300k. I'm new to this as well, but you couldn't ask a better group than who you're asking now. These guys will donate parts for you.

Take their advice to heart. I agree 2k for a boat with an olds or without motor, same thing.  Doesn't matter  that the engine was built. Buy it and sell the motor to someone with an old Cutlass. Check Ebay, Olds logs, Water hookup parts, Engine mount hardware, dime a dozen. Find a working  hot Olds engine, none...just my .02

Have a 66 389 Pontiac Tri-Power engine I thought, breifly, about tossing into one of these. Dropped that idea real quick.

Lake Mead / Re: HMMM family event on lake mead
« on: February 14, 2009, 10:05:05 PM »
I gotta tell you about the cat. My late wife's cat. This is gonna  be a long one, I'll forewarn the uninformed about my posts.

hated this Phucker. male cat, neutered, all that, like 19 years old as of December. Used to attack me if I went near Cin, and then  when I'd toss him across the room, he'd go piss or shit on something of mine. Did that even if I DIDN'T do anything to him. Cin had him since she found him in a alley as a kitten. Phucker was tossed out my his own mother if you ask me. DAm Thing used to walk through the room and stare me down to see how it could ruin my day one way or another. Climb on the counter and dig out what was cooking in the crock pot or open the cupboards and knock out all the pots and pans. All sorts of evil things. Much more but I'm trying to be breif.

Made it my point, to try and off the thing as natural as I could. At 19, how good could it's heart be? right? :banghead: Walk up when it was sleeping, scare the snot out of it quite regularly, tossed it into the pool more than once (Didn't get any action for a month or so after THAT one). Thing just WOULD NOT DIE.  >:D Turned out it didn't like Anti-Freeze either, something someone told me to try. I even resorted to rubbing bacon on the som byatch (True story, hell OJ got way with MUCH worse) and sicking the dog on him thinking.......well.......I dunno, surely she wouldn't hate the dog...... Nope, all the dog did was chase him down and lick him for an hour (hmmmmmm Light bulb goes off........Peanut butter's got nothing on bacon...........). Anyway, Something about women and cats, dunno, never really understood women either, but like my grandfather always said, do NOT mess with them. Anything that can bleed for a week straight on a regular basis and not die, you dun wanna mess with.

Don't get me wrong, I'm an animal lover. Just that this thing was an angel when Cin was around, but left to his own devices or when I was around alone, he was like the cat on Pet Semetary. Pure evil. After Cin died, about a month in fact, I took it to the vet to have him put down. I felt bad and honestly tried to make up with the cat, given what happened, and spoiled him rotten. That morning he went on the one way trip, he took a dump on MY pillow!.  Last straw.

That was that, took him to the vet. They try and console me about the whole thing, hell I was ready to throw a kegger! They asked if I wanted his body or ashes back, I was like, oh Hell no, this thing has already pissed and crapped on most everything I own, I am NOT putting his ashes on more of my shit! nor am I burying it anywhere near the same! Then they asked if I wanted to be around when they did it. Again, hell no, while it might be satisfying to a certain degree, I don't need that last look of "I'm still gonna mess with you from the afterlife" thing. I already tried on multiple occassions to kill it, good luck to you, I told them.

Funniest part was my dog. Used her leash to take the cat. Minute she sees a leash she's uncontrollable, wants out the front door for a walk. Now she see's the leash and hides under the end table. Last time that was used he didn't come back, she ain't stupid!.

Long and morbid, but OHHHH so SATISFYING!

Well, I for one kinda agree with Steve on this one. Or at least see where his heads at. Gotta keep FIL happy, if FIL happy, G/F happy, all goes well, everybody puts out, no worries about poisoned CoCo Puffs.......etc. etc etc.... Wouldn't want to be the subject matter of the trial that sends FIL back to prison either....... Such a quagmire!! :banghead:

Besides, his Beaner is the closest thing to seaworthy I've seen yet, and I've only been on the site a couple of months. even AFTER looking at all the old posts! Somebody go give this guy a hand before I take my vacation time or hire some help from the Circle K here to help him do it!

Look at the pot calling the kettle black, lol. I'm just as bad. Once my new oil pan and pickup arrive, we'll be ready to post picks of my "Udder" one as GT calls it. Should be in the water weekend after next for a test, or God unwilling, a rescue.....

Friend of mine has two of those, one a full Boston Bull Terrier, the other one a French version, (Whatever THAT means, maybe because he's stockier and hates Americans, I dunno), had to rescue both of them on more than  one occassion when they're chasing my dog, a Springer Spaniel, into the pool and follow her in.  :-\

I'd agree on the first description, pretty small anchor. Keep a rope on them if they even think about getting in the boat with you. But I'd also bet it'll only do that ONCE if at all, lol
