Boat Racing / Re: Don't you wish your boat turned like this??
« on: April 04, 2008, 11:12:14 AM »
My Tahiti 16 used to turn that way ,trouble was it was a very fine line between a turn and spin out !

That boat was wicked awesome  O0 , even more so seen through the eyes of a 4 year old.    I do remember the water breaking of the gunnel in a turn.  Not your average 16' tahiti, this one had the same bottom as the "vomit shake".

That is a pretty large rotary table for that mill drill set up, it would fit my Bridgeport perfect though. ;D
Are you drilling x holes every xxx.xx degrees or just eyeballing it. Did you indicate the center hole. Looks like a cool project.
T.J.

One hole every 120 degrees ;)  I made a pilot to center it in the rotary table, and give me somthing to clamp down on.   Had the thing for over a year started using it recently, its got me throwing rocks at the lathe on many tasks.

I've got one of those dumb questions.  What is the advantage or purpose of the cable and double tiller steering over the single push pull steering like most jets have?  You guys did a great job but I don't understand the purpose.  To me that is the old style of steering you put on out board motors for steering.  I think I still have some of that cable around here and it must be 40 years old now.

some of the advantages are, you can eliminate most of the slack, and it pulls in each direction

Same topic, different inquirer,  ???

JBP, any advantages/disadvantages of me swapping out my Dominator bowl (old style) for a 12JG bowl? I'm thinking of doing that because the Rooster Booster I bought doesn't fit my old style Dominator bowl without a spacer or machining the Dominator's output to a larger Berkeley sized output hole. Thanks.

BTW, you used to have your phone number in your signature, where'd it go?


I'd open up the output on the dominator, its a stronger piece.


Phone number is my bad I fixed the sig line too good :o , but it is in the rolling banner

I thought people went to www.mortec.com to get a BBC code?  :banghead:  Where's/what's the clipboard?

The photoshop thing is just from sitting in front of it for hours and hours. I still have a lot to learn about photoshop and I am just scratching it's surface. I'd like to figure out "layers" and how to stretch/shrink things (make a fat guy skinny etc...) instead of re-drawing it all over. But, THANKS!  ;D

I use paint.net for doing layers.  easy to use and it's free

Tom will the aggressor 9 vane fit the jacuzzi wj energizer?
The bolt pattern and the resister would be incorrect.  Even if it would fit I don't belive there would be any advantage over the WJ Energizer bowl.

I have photobucket already, but since I'm internet/computer stupid I couldn't understand what Brad was telling me (I guess  ??? ). Either way he spelled it out real nice and real slow just for me.  :banghead:  Looks like if I'm going to use these new-to-me smilies I've got a lot of photobucket hours ahead.  :)
If in doubt Google it, i gave myself a crash couse in BBC code yesterday (much eaiser than html).  Nice thing about photobucket, is once your photos are uploaded all you gotta do is click on the provided code and it copy's it to your clipboard.

It's ok Luke. I understand your skepticism. I see how a small mind would find it hard to fathom that a 22 year old could be more worldly than the likes of yourself.

Jet Pumps / Re: Whats wrong with the roost?
« on: March 31, 2008, 11:24:24 AM »
what kind of can of worms did I open with this thread? :screwy:

Heres a quick and dirty answer to the question "Whats wrong with the roost?"..............it's too high  ;).

That boat would probably hall ass and ride bitchen with the tail about 4'-5' off the water.    but if your gonna start shootin it that high you need to stablize the boat, some boats will take that much and ride just perfect(slow but stable).  Both of my boats will act like that in the mid RPM range with too much roost if i hit just a lil chop.

There is only one thing that would make your boat ride that shitty and that is letting Jim Rich work on it for you!
That not entirly true, there one other thing.......................letting him drive it

Personal feelings a side....what would make the boat pop like that?

Too much rooster tail not enuf speed......he's not going fast enuf to carry the bow so in essence its being leveraged up to a point and falling back down and so on.  If he could get the boat going a little faster he might do alot better. Possible problem is the boat is either too straight, too flat(side to side) etc..... Trim tabs would help, but then again so would bringing down the tail :screwy:
