I would run Detroit and be off the water by 10:30 and hop in big boats. Evenings can bring good water too!

4 inch tip. My main issue is that my snail exit does mot line up with exhaust tip. I need a very flexible exhaust hose. But not sure if there is anything that flexes that much.

If it was a small tip, I was going to suggest going to a larger tip and cutting the snails to use the 3 1/2" outlet. Then you could cheat the tips in the direction you needed.

Does the tip on the inside of the transom take 3 1/2" hose or 4"? If it takes 4", you'll have to make an adapter on one end, and could angle it to kill two birds with one stone.

Jet Pumps / Loader identification
« on: August 13, 2017, 08:54:19 PM »
Can anyone help me identify this loader? It looks like it's been modified in a sketchy way. I'd like to try and figure out what it was originally so I can fix it and run it.

My 460 only turns 4500 hundred on a fresh pump. However, I'm pretty darn sure the engine came out of a car..

Just to chime in on the aluminum vs stainless impeller discussion: the difference in horsepower required by the change in mass moment of inertia, is negligible. Due to the geometry, one can assume it's a cylinder, which would scale the inertia by 3 ish times. However, my gut says the difference in horsepower required is less than a horse power, thus the difference in weight will never be noticed. There are other variables that have way greater influence.

Sweet ride!

When you put the comp cam in, did you have to have the the heads machined? I'm trying to figure out if it's to accept the new springs, or to allow for more travel.

Been a great season so far no issues I don't use ours on the river a whole lot either more on lakes since I am in central Cali and it's a bit of a drive to any part of the river

Awesome!

I'm finding it hard to not spend all my time, energy, and money on the dang boats! So much good reading here.

Looks good glad you finally were able to get something out there and enjoy it

1977 Challenger

Thanks man! It's been fun so far. I do however understand why these are river boats now

How's the challenger been this season?

It's been a while..

The kona runs well now. I put a rebuilt Holley double pumper 800 on, and found out that the roll pin in the distributor was sheared. After that, she purrs! I pulled the swim deck off a couple weeks ago, and have just been burning fuel!!

Anyone else in Oregon on here?

There's got to be good stories about this.

From what I've observed, Hardin seems to be very popular in the older v drive boats. OG maybe?

Hey all, quick update.

Marlin is gone.

Rogers is stripped and I'm slowly working my way to glassing it back together. Contemplating capping it.

I took everyone's advice and found a turn key boat. Picked up a '71 kona. There are a couple goofey things on it, but it fit the requirements! Going to get it on the water this week hopefully, and do some tweaking.

Thanks to all for the advice, and especially to the ones keeping their eye out for me!!

Anybody? Think he has a splash of an Eliminator. Could he cut a small hole for storage?

Sent from my LG-K330 using SoCal Jet Boats mobile app


Holes in bulkheads are probably fine, in fact they may be even better than a solid bulkhead because they won't be as rigid. One just has to make sure that the corners on the hole have a large radius, and there is a sufficient amount of material between the hull and the hole so stresses can flow.

I've been working on the hull of my rogers and in the crash some the bags burst... foam beads are EVERYWHERE

I'm probably going to build a mold and use vacuum bagging and 2 part expandable foam to make a removable chunk insert.
