V-Drives / Direct Drive ski prop needed.
« on: January 17, 2019, 12:32:36 PM »
Looking for a prop for a buddy of mine. 1990 Malibu ski boat. 19' , 350 mercruiser inboard. 275 hp.

Original prop was a 13x13 lc 1, from the interwebs.

Is this a 3 or 4 blade originally?

The one thats on it now is a 4 blade of unknown pitch / diameter.

He no longer pulls skiers with it, just uses it for cruising the river at Laughlin / Bullhead.

He said the prop that's on it is more for top end (speed), and wants to keep it that way. Blistering, water on fire, 43 mph. With a full cooler of boat sodas.

School me on what it needs, or works well. (Uhumm Glenn...GT Jets...)

Also, the rudder is, well, not exactly straight. Can that be straightened? (Leans to the left,  circle boat?)

Thanks

Engine Mechanical / Electrical / Engine placement? Joe/flusher
« on: September 28, 2018, 07:28:44 PM »
19' Miller SJ, flat deck.

WJ pump, no set back.

383 Chevy, 375 pounds, dressed.

Hull is in the 575-600 pound range.

Would there be any benefit to moving the motor forward? If so, how much, and what dictates this? Center of gravity? Or?

Seating is not an issue, top speed and turning is.

Thanks

WarZone / Stupid kid
« on: January 28, 2017, 10:55:25 AM »

The year was 1988. My pops was an investor in a boat shop. The "owner" had a couple of old boats at the shop, that were in the way for inventory/customers' boats. So, my Pops and I loaded them up onto a car carrier and brought them back to the ranch.

These 2 boats were gutted, one had a broken intake in it, the other the intake was gone. There was some bow damage, mostly from not being on trailers for maybe 10+ years. They were both 18-19' hulls. Pops (50 at the time,) and I (18) lifted one at a time on to the car carrier. Them hulls couldn't have been more than 400 lbs. And they were both TUNNEL Hulls. They were both rigged at one time, and one had a set back pump. The "owner" said they were race boats at one time, I don't know. I had NOOO CLUE what was laying in my back yard!!!

I was enlisting in the Navy at the time, and after that fell through, I went to Marine Mechanics school. Daytona Beach, Fla., then on to Havasu and blah blah blah...

I always wondered what happened to them hulls. Scrapped? ReBuilt? Maybe one (or both) are here on SCJB

Anyone ever get a Tunnel Hull out of Hesperia, Ca?

Thats all I got.

Dan'l

Who made them? I don't know. Where'd the go to? I don't know that either.

WarZone / Boater responsibility?
« on: July 21, 2014, 01:17:33 PM »
Like the title says, what is MY responsibility when out enjoying my boat?
Last Sunday, after launching @ BHC Comm. park, I was idling out beyond the congested area, (no 'No Wake Zone') and a jetski overturns, 20-30 feet away from me, drifting towads me, with 3 people on(off) it. All of them looked like they were under 16. One girl was hysterical about being in the water and floating down the river with an upside-down ski. Another kid didn't even have a life vest on. Their friends had another ski, and it went over too. They were close enough to shore to swim and drag that ski. I ended up with the 3 kids in the boat and towing the flipped ski to shore- Maybe 60-70 feet from shore.
Yes- they were rentals
Yes- they spoke English, as a second language.

I've helped many boaters out on the river and lakes, and I've also been helped, but this was clearly irresponsible jetskiers, and their parents, and I didn't want someone to drown.
If I had open headers or a prop boat, I would be leery of approaching them, for obvious reasons, especially in this shallow water.
If ya cant handle the river, get the fxxk off!!!
Maybe I'm just getting old

Engine Mechanical / Electrical / Starter teeth missing
« on: July 03, 2012, 01:42:58 PM »
Was at the river on Sat heading up river near Lazy Harry's amd ran out of fuel on one side. The elec. fuel pump fed the carb and hit the starter-- and it sounded like a coffee grinder. I suspected a broken nosecone oe a cracked starter mounting pad, but all the teeth are gone on the pinion gear. 4 starters in 2.5 seasons, last one in october 2011. (checkerzone rebuild)

Puttin in one of these:
