We'll see like i said we swiss cheesed the sommomabitch, to get some more readings.  The cental tap we had before never saw any more than 15psi on the suction WOT, but that was also a different boat. 

Cool Josh, can't wait to hear what you guys find out.  Take care

I've got both a Garmin 330 (similar to the Tom Tom) and the Microsoft Streets and Trips. Both are fantastic but have their strengths and weakness's (sp?).

The Garmin will definately get you where you're going and is small and simple. But, it's difficult to "see" where you're going and what's close.

The Streets and Trips is fantastic. It'll get you there, you can chose the route you want to go and "see" where you're going at all times, what's close or coming up and where you've been.  But, having the computer in the truck with you and keeping the battery charged can be a pain in the butt unless you have a inverter in the cab and some form of a docking station would be the best.

Two different animals that do what they're intended to do very well.

PS, no I dont get lost so often that I have to have two GPS's in the truck.....  I've reponsible for a large area with many remote sites.... >:D

Well ... the part that really sucks is all of the history, advice, tech info, etc. that was posted up over there.

I hope it will be retained in some manner or another. It was nice to use it for reference for new boaters.


Brian

Right on the money Brian. There was alot of fantastic info amid all the BS that helped me and I'm sure many others stumble through on how to make these things run.

John the way you see it in that picture is much stronger, but really from an attack angle isn't any different than the stock setup with the plate zeroed.  I does seal a whole lot better than gooping silicone between the sides of the rideplate and the pod.  I actually cut the Panther rideplate down in front to maintain the stock length for the initial tests.  And not that it needed anymore, with the brace and all, but it does serve to further strengthen and stablize the jet in the boat. 

On a side note I had never realized how flimsy the stock plate is, 3/16", with out the finns and the adjuster that thing would be jello going down the lake.

Agreed on all counts. I'm just curious if you're going to need anymore "biting edge" than what is already provided by the mount for the shoe. As far as the stock plate, it is a thin SOB isnt it?  Looking great and I can't wait to hear how you do.

no, the site is still up, they just screwed up the indexing...i have a link straight to my subscribed threads that works....you can google an old thread on there and access it that way.

not sure whats going on over there, but its a ghost town and people are jumping ship quick to other sites, including this one.

Yah, I can't access it from my computer but I can from my blackberry.  Go figure....

I'm pretty sure I can say that all of us regulars appreciate all the time and effort you put into making this site what it is today.

Thank you  ;D


Ditto. While I'm a newcomer, this is head and shoulders above any other of the sites out there. We'd love to meet some of you in person some day but until then, we'll just do it this way.

Regardles Brad, thanks for giving us a place to hang out.......john

Actually since I posted last I already made a solid mount to bolt shoe(s) and rideplates on, futuristically, and in the pictures it emulates the stock setup.   This makes it so I can make a couple of shoes that i can swap really easy, at the lake if i want, and not have to worry about sealling and other issue that may arise if this were one piece.




Looks fantastic Josh. You do fantastic work.  The above picture was the one I was struggling with. I like your approach.  My guts telling me what you already have there is liable to make a big difference without anything else.

I really think you're on to something Josh. Of course, I'm usually wrong on stuff, but, I like the basic design of the intake. With the shoe hardware, what are the mounting options you 're batting around.
I don't think it'll take much of a shoe to load the crap out of this thing.

It "seems" like this would be a natural but I just cant get my head around the shoe mount side of things.

Oh well, be fun to watch this all come together......take care...john

All the paint and 4 gallons of clear are setting on the bench.
Went with Viper Blue Metallic Pearl, SPI Red (gorgeous color) and Pure White (which is actually the pure white pigment with no other colors added).

I have the time between Xmas and New Years off of work so I wont be rushed..... 

Been cleaning the shop to remove any dust.
Ready to build my cheapo Sanford & Son spraybooth inside.

Put all new tubes in the florescent lights and picked up some additional lights to set on stands on the floor so I can see down low.

Still gotta pick up my Fineline and some Sharkskin for the taping and masking but I'm close.

I'm be sure to post up pics good or bad..........

I'll make you a special one,  I'll call it the Jrork Model.  You'll just have to do some measuring for me.
