my buddie bought basically that same boat this year, so far it's been great for him. Rides smooth with the MOD-V, not the best of either types of hulls but still works real good.
his is a 89 paid $10k for it

Central Valley / Kings River???? It's flowing but not for long...
« on: June 28, 2022, 08:31:28 AM »
I really want to hit the Kings river, not sure how long it will be flowing.
If I get the Sanger back together, I think we will run up there this weekend July 2-4.
I know @76Mantra455 is down

WarZone / Re: Wait for changing carburetor?
« on: May 19, 2022, 09:11:35 AM »That is a big gain just having your pump done. There is so much benefit in having a tight, efficient pump and a lighter hull.
Did they change the impeller cut?
Yeah Jack changed it some. Don't recall now, sold the boat and all the paper work. It was a Jacuzzi WJ Mini-Day cruiser BBC468 was only getting 4200 RPM 44mph. After MPD work 5000 RPM 50mph
Wife wanted to go faster so we sold it and built the sanger, and of course she wants to go faster again.... 65mph currently but crazy porpoise at low speed so like Joe said FULL SEND all the time. The oil cooler is working great!

So in October you're gonna SEND IT with me for long distance and find out? 4500-5000 rpm for a couple of miles WOT!
but.... I agree with the others don't mess with it till you're ready to tear it down. Maybe buy the carb (and other stuff) for the last run and see what/if anything changes. I wouldn't think going down to a 750 will help your top end, you'll need more CFM and flow thru the heads to get a big change.
When MPD did my pump I gained 800rpm with no other changes.
I may try the Demon 850 again, the 750 runs awesome and saves fuel but still we always want more. The biggest issue for me is tuning the carb for idle and max rpm. I just can't figure it out, even though it's simple changes. In reality I need heads and a cam to make the little extra power we're looking for. My setup is tapping out at 5500 - 65mph, but as you know it's always FULL SEND!

« on: January 27, 2022, 04:19:37 PM »We are going to be staying at one of the cabins there at Pirates. I?m going to try have the day cruiser ready for the trip but still trying to figure out logistics and towing it right now. I may not have a truck available till early summer but things may change. Think I?m going to get a hitch for the Honda CR-V and that should get it to local lakes.Will for sure have the Mantra that weekend.
We should be IN, I'll stay at Phil's or Tommy's
