Glass shop, for what.
Looks like it could use a cap but it is a race boat.

Title: Re: cyclone speed & marines new cj project
Post by: Luckie Stiff on January 04, 2010, 08:50:53 PM

cap, set back pump, move the turn fin, fill the dash, couple of minor blemishes. Then there's the Magenta and Yellow metal flake heartbeat graphics..............

Did this one have the floor in it, with the fin under the motor?  Thats the way both of our 19's came.
Is this going to be center steer?

Title: Re: cyclone speed & marines new cj project
Post by: jim brock on January 04, 2010, 09:20:37 PM

false floor rotted, fin to far back, yes center steer, you have to when you have a 300 lb driver

You don't see many with set backs.

Glenn, here's the bottom of the 19'. It has the large drop chines that the 18' does not have. 
The 18' that the rest are running have a faster bottom. I believe the strakes are different.

FWIW, a while back I was going to pick up a biesmeyer with a similar bottom and while at the races Terry Valore consulted with a few people and pretty much talked me out of it.
Not that its a bad boat or design, we just thought at my level, I was better off with something else that I didnt have literally start all over with as far as feel and set up.
Rons already got a bunch of time on his so they"ll know what to expect

A few people at the races knew the boat I was gonna pick up and they all had the same same thing to say .
Kinda wishing I would have picked it up  :banghead:

Post by: 76 Bonneville on January 05, 2010, 11:45:37 PM

I'm good with the TR, 80mph with our 427 seemed respectable.
But everyone I talk to says the 18 is faster.

Title: Re: cyclone speed & marines new cj project
Post by: 76 Bonneville on January 07, 2010, 10:34:15 PM

Hasn't anyone gone over to the glass shop for some pics.
Or is it back for some rigging. I saw Jim over on PB looking for a T-tank.

Title: Re: cyclone speed & marines new cj project
Post by: jim brock on January 08, 2010, 08:02:36 AM

Why is there so much "crap" in the water? The guys in front of you that scared?  ???

Post by: 76 Bonneville on January 16, 2010, 10:46:15 PM

Now that you ordered a new one, I'm sure a couple of used ones will come up for sale.

The T-tank is for the kids new Rogers, it wont be ready for quite awhile.
I'll still be running the orange one, you know the "family boat"

Sorry for the blurry pic, I just barely taught Jim how to take and send pics with his phone, next week we'll work on focus and file size.

Jim's actually been working on the boat lately, he sent me some pics to prove it.
Here's some shots of all the work involved in getting your intake to sit at the angle you want it.
Jim told me the bottom of the boat is like 1.25" thick. He took out up to .6250" to make this happen.

Contact Jim. He has mentioned in the past that he would be willing to rent it out.
