Tom, how about a good shot of the bottom of that beast. Looking at the shots of the floor it looks like it has some interesting shapes to it

Hey JBP, you guys are making me feel very stupid for selling her, very nice work fella's.

« **Reply #110 on:** August 18, 2008, 12:39:42 am »

Yea they always make it look so easy, just bolt this there and do that and walla a perfect boat

. I know mine aint that way

. Of course it might have something to do with the fact that I don't know what I'm doing

« **Reply #111 on:** August 18, 2008, 09:24:33 pm »

what type of loader is that

« **Reply #112 on:** August 19, 2008, 10:48:05 am »

Jeremy ,Its an Older GTH marine cast unit they called a "top loader" (similar in design to one of the White lightning's ) We bought it last year to "pattern" it ,modified it and will run it in this boat to test Tom

Uh, I'm glad to hear you like it but I for one would prefer if you didn't mention to the rest of us when you have a "woody".....

Looks and sounds bitchin Tommy. Congrats

Glen maybe sleep on your side and use it as a "kickstand"

Thanks John !!

I'm diggin the paint on the UFO soon to be WFO.
Is the vertical brace for the steering? ( stringer to dash )

« **Reply #119 on:** August 22, 2008, 08:11:05 am »

Paul Thought that with that much steering column and that much leverage on the small base of the Calgo post it needed something ,it stiffened the dash a lot. After Long Beach I re -realized how fragile these old boats could be Tom

« **Reply #120 on:** August 22, 2008, 08:59:21 am »

That was scary!!!
Tom I have not forgot.Thanx.
The curved motormounts...if ya need some let me know Dim. to stringer. I already have programs for BBC and SBC race car motor plates. It would be easy to do.

« **Reply #121 on:** August 22, 2008, 09:07:21 am »

I would look into a different method of strengthening the dash. That setup would make me REAL nervous. The last thing you want is getting tangled up in hardware when being pitched from the boat. Even a stringer mount cav plate handle makes me nervous....or even a place diverter handle (as long as they are) between the legs? forget it!

dont get me wrong, i like the ingenuity, but the safety aspect should be looked at as well.

« **Reply #122 on:** August 22, 2008, 09:22:25 am »

If my boat had a steering brace like that I would have broke my leg when I flew out of the boat in Long Beach.

Not a good idea IMO.

« **Reply #123 on:** August 22, 2008, 10:15:30 am »

Appreciate the advise guys Thanks Tom

« **Reply #124 on:** August 22, 2008, 08:59:40 pm »

OK then ,we modified the dash brace Guys what do ya think now !
