Tom, is that transom wood? How thick is it? Man that looks like it would float the QE2!!! :) Greg

Tom
This one was a stern drive to start, then changed to a "wacker" ? I hope that explains all the differences I'm seeing between that hull and mine. ???

Omar Eliminator tells me that there virtually no differnence from OB, sterndrive and jet hulls ,same goes for the Place craft were about to do !
Greg the transom definately "had wood" ha ha that sucker was no less than 3 inches thick you can see how thick it was proportionate to Rhondas hand in the pic ,guess the installer wanted to help support the "Eggbeater" weight
Jeff are you sure your stringers arent at least similer to the ones shown in the picture ? Tom
...BTW To add some "light" to whats going on here in the photos Josh has stripped away the carpets ,scraped the bilge (carpet adhesive) and layed out /cut out the intake opening for the jet (setback) we'll finish cleaning the used berkeley intake today then mill it to match the bottom and for a ride plate and shoe then we'll set the intake in epoxy and start installing the jet ,note the large holes at all the corners of the cuts these are to radius the corners to avoid 90* corners thus avoiding stress cracking later at these points Josh got to do all the fun stuff I just got to photo, vacuum and draw on the cut-outs ;D

Man, hang a motor on there and the trailer would want to fall over backwards. Not to mention, if it's all marine ply it cost as much as all the glass work in the rest of the boat. :D :D :D
-
Hi all,Tom told me I might find some pics of my girl here. I'd have neve guessed the transom would be "that" thick. BTW Tom I just left the ups store you should get a pkg on the 30th. Try not to laugph too hard at my"bubble wrap".

Oh and welcome to the site SLCKREG , I realy like your choice of boats ! ;D
-
Thanks for the welcome guys. I wish I knew how to do that quote thing where you can drag quotes into my reply. to rebel, I agree, if someone would have told me a year ago i'd buy a boat,and have it sent to a strangers shop 2 states away for work, I'd have asked what there smokin. But after talkin to Tom a time or 2 he makes you feel like your already friends.
-
Jeff we can work with those itty bitty ass stringers Genius (Josh) already figuered it out ...
Greg that Transom had been Majorly reinforced "ipsofacto" by some resin crazed rigger ,IMO It could have been done differently..
DARK SIDE O0 O0 LMAO ...hey Rob howed ya like that balmy weather in the vid ?
Kreg welcome from the Land of "full strength beer" I knew I could pull you over here ,good folks good times here Tom

No, but it is "Ford tuff".....and b4 this turns into another debate I love Chevy's, I rebuild many of them
-
What impeller is in that sucka. The id tag said "a" the impeller is stamped "aa" and someone painted "ab" what the?
-
The pump was produced with an A , the last rebuild they tuned a AA down to an AB.Which is what it has currently
-
Thanks Josh.

OK Kreg were on the downhill slide ... Tom

A putty knife, a steady hand and duct tape... I supose also practice doesn't hurt ;)
-
Looks good to me also. Whats left? ride plate, transom plate, and? Any suprises in my pump ,or haven't we gone there yet. THANKS GUYS. Kreg
-
No real suprise ,just that the front bearing was "frozen" unfortunate that the prior builder neglected to put any grease in it ... heres today ,rail kit should be in tues...

Tom that transom plate fits like a glove, Jrork is right, fantastic. Hey Jrork looks like the light at the end of your "project" tunnell is getting brighter. No pun intended. ;D
-
Look at the how big that transom is? I was checking out Droppys 21 Daytona with that 1.2 bizzilion cubic in Ferd and there was still enough transom to mount more crap on it. Hell, I can't even hardly see my transom and it's so full of SS lines, MSD boxes and misc dohickeys that I'm jealous. Boat is looking killer and yup, I'm thinking I'm sick of sanding and wanna spray soon...........
-
I've never seen 68's boat in person but I can tell it's x-tra clean and then some +100. I'm lookin forward to seein yours(Jrork). Sounds like I'm takin a drive soon ;D

Yep, Droppys is incredible as is a number of the gangs boats up here. They all set the bar really high.
That's too cool about the road trip. Just dont get in a wreck when you're towing it home cuz you're looking in the rear view mirror all the time........
-
Thanks Jrork, I'll try to avoid crashin, something tells me I'll be "lookin at it" plenty in the next few months. Hey Tom are you sure your not feelin a vegas trip comin on this weekend ;) ;D

Poor Creg. Can you just imagine how he must feel right about now? ;D I'm betting he soils himself at least 4 times on the way home with that boat behind him...
Congrats for a very cool boat and great job Josh and Tom....
-

I have GOT to get me one of those Rail/Plate setups....... It would look really purdy next to the blower, scoop and all those other shiny things I've been sleeping with....... ;D
-
Kreg and son left today with the 21 in tow Great Guy,nice polite youngin' ! good luck hope all goes well on the long drive home! keep us posted a s the project progresses Tom Rhonda and Josh
-
tom, josh, is there a reason you didnt put the rails even with the top of the stringers ? looks good btw
-
Ralph,
Good obseration. Several things, with the lower edges at the tops of the sponson (base of the stringers) provides maximum strength IMO, and at the position you see, it negated having to cut the bottoms of the plates at all (no trimming). The way the kit cam in the box from the builder gave absolute perfect driveline alignment. We were very pleased.
Tom
-
Hi all. Made er home. That was fun. I think I'm too tired to type tonite. Long trip, 800 miles of it without brakelights(or the ability to put it in park) fukin dodge's , sum bitch has more fuses than carter has pills. Good thing it's under warrantee still.

... Rod nice avatar is that sweetie a "deck finish inspector" spose if your gonna do that ya got to get your butt in the air that way !!! :P :P
I'm not sure if she's a "deck finish inspector" or if she's for servicing "nozzles", either way I'm sure she gets the job done with that kind of determination... :D ;D

Well send her over we got a bunch of nozzles !!
Ok so I thought so I screwed up geez they actually look like steers with deer antlers ,thats a lot of BBQ ,LOL
-
So I'm getting my cables today(diverter, fwd-rev, throttle) can anyone shed some light as to where I need to punch holes in my transom for the steering and the fwd/rev. I've never had a diverter before, so I'm not sure if that one goes over, or through the transom?
-
Updates ?? I hear someone got there project wet :sly: .
-
Yep! I can't post pics here for some reason they are too big and I'M too stupid too shrink em. I'll shoot Tom a shot or two and see if he'll put em up for me. I've only one shot of her in the drink then my 13 year old put the camera down in the bottom of the boat....then she no-worky till the next day. So far so good, I love the way felt,rode,cornered,ect. ;D

X2 I need a new project and Jan says she wants something like a 21' tunnel to give us more room.......................
:o And what makes you think theres more room in one of these ? Heck the deck is 11' long. Interior measurements are 9' long and 58" wide. Walking room is the real issue though, those tunnels really take up a lot of floor space. Your kinda limited to a small walking trail down the center, or walking on the seats.
