2sav Im back!!!!!

you left?

you left?

Didn't think anybody would catch that 

2sav

i think he took some mental time off.....

that is what the boat is for....

 I don't know, but I did find some info that says this boat is not a Sprint, the Sprint name came later  , and I was right about it not liking rough water.  This is no circle boat !!  It needs smooooooth water,  just like I thought. 

 It might be awhile before there is any more progress on this thing, I'm getting tired of looking at it and need a break (way to much of the 2 steps forward and 3 steps back going on  ) . Looks like I'm going to stick to the swimming pool this summer 

 Propless has left the building

2 steps forward and three steps back.............. I feel your pain bro, ive been dancin those steps for the last year   Taking a break is mentally healthy

Good luck to ya, if you need me to get you motivated again I can do that........My boat ain't done so i still have alot of $hit to talk

2sav

Agreed.........Take a break for awhile, and don't let no body give you no shit for it........you hear me Bitches..........Thats my job

2sav  Peace out.........

Hey Propless
Looks to me like you're making good progress--easy for me to say. It amases me how the mind works--when you finish, you're going to have so much fun talking about the project and spending time at the lake that you will forget all the depressing negatives (late nights, itchy fiberglass, things that won't fit, blown budget, ...) while putting it all together. In fact, you'll probably think about how much fun it was to build your own boat, and when you will do it again. Ask me how I know this to be true.

No raggin', just encouragement. I'd really like to see that boat running next month.

Propless, what Tom means is the next one will be just as difficult, but you will be more experienced and it will go quiker/easier, so they tell me

Its a lot like hitting youself in the face with a ball peen hammer, it feels great when you stop!

Looks cool

OK fair enough, but In Tom's defense, he didn't buy this

 I have new parts !!!      The motor plates are here and they fit.  I just put them on to check and make sure all the holes lined up and the starter was good (this is the first set of BBF plates Billy/ironman has made) and every thing looks perfect !!     Now I just need to use the patterns I made to transfer my cuts onto the new plates and start cutting them to fit the boat.  Should be able to have it in the boat today  .  But than I will still take it all back apart one more time to polish everything and do the final finish on the floors. 

 Also got all my new parts from Jet Boat Performance this weak, new steering, new cables, really cool transom fittings for the cables, steering extension, angle mount for the helm, pto, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc,,,,,,,, it was a long list .   And I'm sure I forgot something (good thing shipping only takes one day to get to me  ) . 

 Here's some pics of the motor plates ( I think these plates might be tall enough to work in tunnel boats too,  I should go measure the Daytona  ). Billy makes them with lots of material on them so you can trim them to fit anything.  And just wait till you see the flex plate cover hes making for me (its sooooo cool !!!)




 Just as a side note, I found out that these BBF crank pulleys are two pieces and if you only need one belt you can separate them and have a single groove pulley.  There are a couple small spot welds , drill through the back side of the pulley on the welds (just drill through the unwanted pulley, not all the way through) and use a chisel to separate them  .
