Mucho better, I figured you would just flip it. Is that foot throttle really bolted through the floor? I would expect a stringer mount.

That looks better!

Sooooo ....Me and Ro  left at 9:30 back at 12:30 (45 min to SA ) ,Boat starts runs,leaves hard (leaks at the Calgo thru hulls) ,is definately a "Bad A$$", Josh did a killer job up on the "tune up" and install BUT it porpoise's like a MAD DOG (way too much UP and suspect some "Rocker" ) Rhonda said it was almost embarassing  Boat wants to run  "Balls out" doesn't want to be a lake boat ,one lap around the lake and back home to get the Camper and gear ready for next week  SA trip. Josh's (and Grampa) got a new baby comin' Tues AM gonna try for a local "Fishing Lake blast" mid week Otherwise gonna bring the Schiada or the Cruiser or maybe the Miller (Rhonda says I cant bring a V-drive  "cause its Socal JET boats!!) !  over and out !



 

 WOW, that Sanger looks good on the water Tom !!  Very nice job saving another nice boat from the landfill (hang your head in shame GT for thinking that ) !! 

Ralph ,suspect your headed for Bass lake by now but yes Had serious down pedal and still looked like frikken Flipper 

Congrats on the new Jet Boat Performance team member 

Congratulations!, How cool is that?, a new family member and boating in the same day, a charmed life I tell you!

Thanks Crewchief  !!
Gt NO time to waste  ,the worst day boating beats the best day working Me Rhonda and Josh are truly Blessed to do what we do fo a living (and get Paid) HUGE Thanks to all our friends and loyal customers !!

A few "changes" to the Sanger (lost the snoot and added a pump brace) for some more "wet test" and tune and maybe if were lucky another Quagga muscle inspection ! ( oh and It had to have a reverse too)

Aw Pops, we are all so happy for you guys......  Congrats to all of you.......

whats with the quagga bow dealio

They put a cable on the boat to the trailer that shows the boat had not been off the trailer so it will not need reinspection for that particular lake. Kinda cheesey, but whatever...I think we should just all build a boat bad enough that is scares the mussels into complete extermination

Think about it, we never had the mussel problem before the sound restrictions............Just saying

8100?  RPM's?     

That must have been music to the ears

8100 RPM Bet that swelling took a while to go down....

Hey Tommy, if I send you a loader for the Sanger would you try it?  I think the pump is over loading, two questions though.
1. Does the porpoise go away if you nail the gas?

2. Does the porpoise come in quick, or slowly and predictably?


If it comes in slowly and predictably, the extended pump fins could be creating a "low pressure" area under the rear of the boat causing the boat to "teeter totter" on the center point of the hull, it will not go away unless you stand on it, pulling the boat back down in the water giving it something to climb, or faking a hook with some ride plate adjustment, which I hate doing.

I think the engine being forward accentuates this horribly. The loader I want you to try is a plate type and was run on a River runner and cured this exact symptom. You might even have one in those rafters of yours, it needs to be a plate type loader and not very aggressive, this will "bypass" a lot of water at speed and keep the pressure stable under the bottom of the intake, it may take away a little of the out of hole performance (can you say inducer?), but would be worth it in the long run I think.

let me know if you want to give it a whirl (no puhn intended).

Don't be afraid to tell me I'm full of crap though too, its been a while.

Once loaded this thing would work great, it will probably turn hard enough to scare you.

 Looks like your trying to tame a wild animal there Tom.   Its a race boat hull , it only needs to have 2 throttle settings (on and off), stop trying to turn it into a cruiser .   

 JK ,  You know I'm watching and learning from this project, and you know why I need to.  Crazy rocker bottom boats    .
