Gelcoat / Paint / Fireberglass Repair / Re: How to level a hull

When setting the pump intake, which surface do you use to level the hull (front to back left to right)?
Top of the stringers or strakes?
I did a quick search but lots of reading which hurts my head lol.
Thanks

You need to base all your measurements off the keel of the boat. That will be your zero degrees. The boat only cares about the riding surface.

Pretty telling I was the only one in that place that even owned a boat!! Let alone one of the pieces of shit they're trying to sell people. They basically just copy DCB and eliminator designs and colors, at much lower quality of course anything to skimp a penny!! I was robbed of over a months pay by Jeff, who will act like your deposit aint shit when they steal it from you but will go out of their way to cook books and documents just to scam me out of a measly 3500 bucks!! Woww and I thought the aerospace ind. was as grimey as it got hahaha. What goes around comes around tho that's why I'm winning now and they will be going out of buisness.

I don?t think I?ve ever heard anything positive come out of Jeff?s mouth, haha.

I spent some time there in the fiberglass dept. Juan is an absolute badass!

That makes sense.  Are the blocks glued to the floor with anything or just glassed in?
They?re glued down with peanut butter (resin, fumed silica, and blended CSM) and laminated over with two layers of 1.5 oz CSM and a layer of cloth (I forget the thickness on the cloth).

Any issues with the mounts fatiguing?  Any cracking around them? 

The way you did it is the way I want to, but the article shows a strap tying the two mounts together to add more surface area to glass to.
Those fuckers are laminated in there good. They?ll never have issues.

One thing I don?t like about the setup in the article is trying to laminate to aluminum. It?s not a good bond and will eventually have issues.

Projects / Bahner Bubbledeck Build
« on: January 07, 2023, 10:15:27 AM »
I was able to track down a mild 454 and decent Berk JC for the project. I dropped in the engine using a set of four point mounts.

The interior came from another boat, but matched and fit surprisingly well.

The stringers, of course, were trash. I conned my buddy Brad(I forget his name on here) into lending a hand and we knocked out them out over a weekend.

From there I went to work on the interior mounts, foot throttle and diverter mounts, bilge separator, as well as glassing the tanks back in. The tanks were cleaned, sanded, and got new senders before going back in.

I rolled gray gel in the bilge and splattered it with blue gel.

Projects / Bahner Bubbledeck Build
« on: January 07, 2023, 09:35:48 AM »
I built this boat for a buddy a couple years back. I picked up the bare hull that had been rotting away in Palmdale.

First, it got one hell of a detail. A couple days of wet sanding and buffing and she was shiny again!

Next up, I ditched the single axle and swapped it onto a tandem axle trailer. Of course, the bunks didn?t line up so I made new bunk mounts and bunks.

It's good to see it in one piece again. How'd the floors turn out?

Did you swap out the lowpro for a standard Berkeley intake?

You need to buy a 43BC cable, you now have a 43c cable, no way to mount it,  43 BC put thru the hole on the arm with a nut on top and bottom and tighten
Good catch.

Thanks for the reply’s I think I’m going to hold off on the droop and ride plate for a set up I’ve been dreaming about later on down the line.


Sent from my iPhone using SoCal Jet Boats
Despite what the others are saying the droop will give you a taller roost. It has a different pin angle than the stock nozzle adapter. Not sure what it is off the top of my head.

The first two pics are the roost from my Advantage with a droop (and 600hp).

The PD droop/ride plate setup should work pretty decent on your boat. If you don't like it after all there are several people on the hunt for that setup so you'll be able to sell it.

Last pic is my buddy's LS powered Bahner. It likes the droop and ride plate.

Well damn thats no good. Think my bearing is going bad... Whistles off the ramp till she warms up(never did that before engine was built). Pretty sure impeller is good but didnt do any measurements yet taking hand hole cover and nozzle off right now maybe bowl too if im feeling lucky. Ok ill check them out too thanks for the input, ive heard of another guy in Temecula that does blueprinted pumps too but dont recall his name.
Be careful, if that bearing goes bad the impeller will grind itself against the suction housing ruining lots of parts along the way. If it goes far enough it can cause problems with your engine's thrust bearings.

If it's squeaking now that could be the impeller grinding against the wearing ring. I'm throwing out a worst case scenario, but I prefer to err on the side of caution.

This last summer I saw a couple super gnarly blown pumps. A new thrust bearing could have saved them form buying a new pump.

Here's a pump I have down at BLR right now for a customer. I can't wait to see it in person. Bowl is currently at the machinist getting lightened. Customer went all out. Rebuild, inducer, shoe and ride plate, machined bowl, along with a new droop and diverter, all powder coated super silver candy red. When I get it back I'm resetting the intake and building aluminum TA plates. Should be nice all said and done.

I can do a new build if you're interested. This is going to be a dolly trailer for an Eliminator Liberty. I can build whatever you want or modify your existing trailer.

Basil is a good dude, but he puts the thrust bearings in backwards. I've seen in twice now. It won't grenade immediately, but it will create issues.

If your impeller is in good shape then your rebuild shouldn't even be close to $900.

Big League Racing in San Clemente does killer work.

I'm impressed by the LS! The extra power and reduced weight made the boat feel much lighter in the water. The shakedown run was a success. Not a single leak or hiccup.
