Title: Shrimpin Boat
Post by: IRRebel on April 06, 2010, 01:09:19 PM

Well, It's arrived! More there than I thought! Front WAS converted to open bow, (Nordie, yoiu were right!) but for the most part, best $3k I ever spent considering all the stuff with it. Boats been parked since 91. Owner did the open bow conversion, was reinforcing the transom for conversion to triple O/B engines... :screwy:

But, in this mess inside the boat are all the engine internals, 2 complete JG drives (rebuilt in '90 according to receipts), 2new Mallory Comp 9000 unilites, coils and 6AL's, 2 new Eddie performer intakes (Prolly won't use), and 2 new Holley 950 DP marine carbs.

Bow rail is there, window trim, drivers seat for template. Moon roofs, engine cover.....Is strange it has 2 separate intakes on the pumps though. Might be a blessing!

was this thing ever running as a dual motor/dual pump setup? or is this someones backyard project they never finished?

Title: Re: Shrimpin Boat
Post by: wizard612 on April 06, 2010, 01:56:59 PM

Wow those intakes will take custom port & starboard (left & right) loaders and I guess ride plates are a no go. Shoes could work. Try a "ride" plate at the keel with long rods & turnbuckels to the transom. It's gona be hard to air this tank out with the keel so far below the intakes, maybe a huge delta bottom with fins.  Have fun!

Good question! I asked too. Got the original invoice with it. Was, according to the original owner I talked to last week, the only one made this way. He ordered it. (Who knows about that tho). But yes, it was a running twin jet boat from its birth in '82 to 1990 when the second engine went. He sold it to the guy I got it from a couple years ago. was stored outside, under cover, but destroyed the interior.

According to the original owner, bear in mind he's like 90 something, one engine dropped a valve so he decided to make an open bow out of it back in 91-92 while it was down, and convert it to take 3 outboards.....Why, I'm still unclear on. Was kinda like talking to a 3 year old, no offense.

Once I get all the stuff out of it, the 4 1/4 stringers should be apparent and the original intake locations. I have another concern on the transom. But I'll wait till I get it unloaded to ask. Looks like something was cut out possibly.

your gonna need some loooooonnnnngggg trim tabs haha! cool find ray i dig it! i like different things! think it needs another intake in the middle with staggered engines!!!! ok ok not really, but would be cool! i cant believe them heads are sitting on the swim step not cool! are you gonna run the swim step again ray? also i think the bow reail should be sold to someone that needs it, boats always look better without bow rails in my opinion!

cant wait to see this one make some headwind...

i thinks its time to start selling off some of these boats, because this one is going to take up alot of your time, and you'll probably enjoy it over all boat on big lakes!

I think you're right lil Bro! Gonna be a fun one for sure!

Yeah, bow rails prolly not gonna go back on. Rear rail on the engine cover, probably. I always liked the look of Brads old Southwind without them. (Ever gonna get that running again?  ;) )

It is gonna stay with the Mid Cabin tho, front cabin gone due to the open bow  :thumbup: That part I am sold on.  Swim steps going to be refinished an goin back on. Unloading the heads as soon as RJ gets home, as well as the cranks, rods, pistons, etc, etc.....

Forgot about the Center risers! They're coming in too. Not as big a project as I really imagined! Paints in REALLY good shape! Good buff and wax, GTG!  :thumbup: Floors, interior, should be easy for my bud who's staying here right now....

Yeah, three would be better! :thumbup:  hmmmmm.............Got a couple intakes layin around and a JG I got from someone........

Ray

Also, two new Crane Commander 288 cams came with it. Haven't gotton to the bottom of the boat yet..........

Already Got 'em.  ;) Bought a year or so ago and then bought more for the Hallett from someone else. Just happen to match! GTG on the guages!

Need more for the Pickle now, however, where some WERE going. (Remember my broken Tach!).

Not gonna be cheap no matter what I do, BUT, I think worth it in the end. This is just one of those things, like your hydro, that are so unique you just HAVE TO DO IT!

Trailers actually good! Brand new tires I bought, pulled a wheel and a bearing buddy, grease is good, even the surge brake fluid looks clean! Not the prettiest thing, but not gonna float the trailer, lol.  :thumbup:

Yeah, both. One handle controls throttle AND bucket. Took me awhile to figure them out too. Kinda like Brandon's dealio in his, though his don't work.  There's two of 'em there that control both apparently, then you can pull out on the bases of them and run the throttle indepentantly from the F/R.

REALLY weird dealio is the steering helm. Gonna challenge Tom on this one, twin racks and pinions! I already KNOW it's not gonna take the Teleflex cables, same pattern Pickle had. The cables i got MAY be ok, but want new anyway. Gotta go take a pic of that!

i like where you are going with this, but i am having a hard time picturing it, because the linkage would half to be past the pivot point! correct me if i am wrong...obviously there was a system what was functioning at some point on this boat right?

Thought of that too, VERY concerned about the safety of that though if you really think about it.  :sly:

That is a dual rack helm. Two cables ( 1 for the left pump and 1 for the right pump )

yeah that one doesnt even scare me...bolt up 2 rack n pinions, and adjust adjust adjust....thats a pretty sweet helm...hopefully there is a part number so you can get a new one if not...i wouldnt really sweat it...two new racks, and you should be gtg

 Ray, I was talking to Josh (JBP) about a rack like that a while back.  He gave me a makers name and said there where cables available somewhere (cant remember the details).  Give them a call.

Thought so on the Pickle too! Good thing Tom sent a new helm! New teleflex racks don't fit these old buggers! Bolt pattern and spacing diffferent. Kinda like putting old Pinto wheels on a Corvette.

Spacing on this helm IS the same as the new helm and cable I put on the Pickle, so might be ok!  :thumbup:

I've been down that road and your right, similar parts are available but similar bolt patterns are not available.
As far as to what I was thinking was that one tiller arm would be a 90* (2 tiller ams welded together) and the other tiller arm would point straight back so the tie bar would connect to the 90* on the first tiller arm.

With some slight modifications to the tiller arm(s) you could go with this setup and be done with it:

I wouldnt do the system where you have 1 cable controlling both nozzles that are linked together via tie bar....stick with the dual rack system and run 2 cables....this way you have a backup if one fails. the other way you are screwed if the one fails.....and if the tie  bar fails, it could get REAL ugly REAL quick

I agree. Part of the charm of this deal is if one engine/jet/nozzle/whatever fails, they can be run independantly to get ya home,  ;)

Getting back to the steering issue then... Question... Using two racks and cables with twice the resistance in them will it make it harder to steer?
Not sure just asking. I assume separate reverse cables and handles this could made dockside work nifty (one forward one rev.= boat pivots) just like the yachts.

Cj21 (previously cj410 on the rocks) is set up this way.....except 1 cable is reversed. i will see if i can dig up a picture of it......but anyways, it actually steered better then a single rack system.

Post by: Nordie on April 08, 2010, 02:09:26 PM

yeah i dont see it being an issue especially since there isnt alot of surface area to really resist the steering...besides i just put a new helm rack and cable in my boat, and now it steers really easily, and to me that is more uncomfortable! i kinda liked the more stiff steering! even though i know it wasnt right...im sure it will be ok! wizard as far as the whole throttle slash fwd reverse i tend to agree with you! i believe they make a hot foot pedal that can control the throttle's while you and control the fwd rvs by hand...4 cables going into one unit tends to make me a lil nervous...it would be different if it was a stern drive where reverse actually works, and there is a true neutral just my opinion

Title: Re: Shrimpin Boat
Post by: IRRebel on April 08, 2010, 06:18:31 PM

Twin steering can't be any worse than my Pickle was! With the new steering, WHOA! a lil too easy. Doesn't have the little set screw know on it to increase the tension either. We're going dual cables, short and simple.

The F/R levers are dual, but can be operated with one hand. They also control both throttles at the same time. Cool how they work, but going to take some getting used to. Neutrel is idle, FWD open the buckets, and runs the throttle from there. Same with REV, but closes the buckets first. Getting the cables adjusted to the click stops will be fun, seeing how it has to happen on the water, as it's the only way to find true neutral on any jet setup.

Then there's the switches for the hydraulic trim tabs and diverters...... >:D

Ride requests will abound, I'm sure......... Tearing into finishing the transom tonight and tomorrow, Hopefully have the floor stringers and floors in by next weekend. Dunno if I should just start another thread on this or not! We've kinda convoluted this one, lol. (Brad?)

Well, could be! I dunno. As a kid I remember Unc's Sidewinder able to pin our lil heads against the swim rails in the back jump seats!

We'll see where the speed comes in on this, for now, yes, it will have MONSTER roost, it HAS too! Kinda like a fluffer that doesn't put out, makes no sense. It's not gonna have much else goin for it!

I'll start postin pics of it's progress tomorow. I been working on the logistics of getting what MAJOR Mechanical compenents where they need to be right now, and underway! THIS WILL FLOAT THIS YEAR! I made the commitment to Father's day, and I stand behind that right now!

I'll let you guys argue this amongst yourselves in this thread. The build, I'm gonna post a new thread. Transoms half done, got pics, picking up some fir today to build the floor stringers from. Might have a complete interior lined up from a 24' . News at 11 on that. Engines? Let's just say that with the pile of new parts that came with it, it's gonna have a LOT more power than I envisioned originally. I'll save the specifics for the build and let Dave talk about it.

Notice the exhaust outlets are NOT quite level clear across? Going to go ahead and fix that while this is all going on. Might as well, else it'll bug me!

Started building the forward bulkhead (They had built one, was a POS) and a rampway into the open bow (Decided we're keeping that).

Ever see twin 40 Gallon tanks? lol. All loaded up for the Hot Rod shop to tear apart and rebuild. I decided I wanted them to cut out the pickup tubes, weld in new, add new senders, then pressure check them. At some 220# or so full, don't want any issues with them, especially considering my history with fuel leaks......

Ray,

Been going to town.. :thumbup:

The exhaust outlets are not supposed to be straight across from each other....V8 engines cylinder heads are staggered by quite a bit, making one side of the exhaust longer than the other, they wont come out in the same place....Ever...

Boat looks like an airplane hangar.....Very vast and hollow... :screwy:

Thanks Glenn! Actually, in thinking about that, the swim deck will cover all that up anyway, so WTF cares? It's probably due to one motor mount plate being about a half inch lower than the other, though. The mounts are like an erector set, will figure them out later.

Working on a deal on a complete interior from a 24' Sleek that might work on this! News at 11 on that. Drug Skip, kicking, screaming, clawing and crying like a lil girl into this to get the engine stuff to A&D.....(J/K! Skips wholeheartedly involved in this dealio). But may need some SoCal help as this interior is in So Cal.

Yeah, that's a 'nudder thing. Bunks are supposed to be under both, only one fin on the extreme side of each intake. Once I get Nicks address (texted him....hint....hint.....) and get the intakes back, I can set them. They cut one bunk off to get one of them out, then apparently fugured it out. gonna cut that other bunk off as well, then once I set the intakes, use the neighbors backhoe to lift the hull and put new carpeted bunks on.

At least, in theory, that's the plan....... :screwy:

Lots, actually. I guess maybe I should post pics up as I go. I was kinda reserving things to make it shorter than a 2Sav build......

Will post these. Sent the Intakes off to Nick (CJ222) and got them back with some bitchen race loaders he made for them. He consulted with harold bruce and a few others building them, BUT, if any of you EVER attempt anything like this, I think Nick can blow the dust off the jigs to make 'em.

Was gonna just go with the paint on it. But with what's involved, we've committed to a complete new gel coat that I'm still working on what it should look like. As well as trailer rehab, etc, etc. Dave still doesn't have the engines to build, so we're a long way off from this hitting the water.

I was kinda set aback by a similar build of the same hull over on PB that set the bar far higher than I was gonna go. I wouldn't be doing the SCJB crew any justice unless I did this thing at least on par with that. Lets just hope I can afford it......... :screwy:

What a great site! I'm so glad I found it. Thank you everybody for contributing !!

Way back in the late 90s when I had my first boat, I was going to the river alot. Every time I would pass by "The Shop", I would stare at this derelict hull in the parking lot. I was fascinated by the fact that it had two jets in the transom (Well one and a hole for another). Finally, much to the dismay of my now ex-wife (Boy, never get tired of saying that! lol) I stopped and talked to a guy named Jim about it.
It was a 26' Sleekcraft with a pair of 396 chevy's (one seized) and Panther-jets. It was very rough all over and he wanted $4500 for it. I loved the thought a pair of giant rooster tails trailing me down the river, but as I was ass-deep in my new Baja, there was no chance I could have afforded that project.
Anybody remember that boat? Know what happened to it?

Thanks
Jason

Post by: D-cel on July 27, 2010, 10:12:33 AM

That's very cool, Im a BB Ford guy myself. I was thinkin a couple of set's of Kaase's new Boss heads would look great under the hatch! It would be more WOW than the Chevy boys at the river could stand!! LOL

 I have a couple of all aluminum motors. One running and one in the build process.
I have a 466 that's in my Cobra replica . A96 block, ported A429 heads, 10.5-1, CC .605 flat cam, torker II, Barry Grant 825. Its a great running motors, but its got about 40,000 miles on it an its getting a little loose on the oil control. So I figured I'd start working on a replacement.
I scored an NOS A96 "Pro-stock" block (off of eBay of all places!)  Billet main caps, with 2.750 (SBF) main journals.
that started me down a long and expensive road. LOL
The small journals necessitated a custom crank, so I had Sonny Bryant grind one of the Ford Forgings at 4.250 stroke, 2.200 rods and a Boss snout. 6.800 Eagle rods and 4.600 spherically dished JE pistons at 11.7-1.
I got a set SCJ'B heads from Lem Evans who sent them down to Charlie Evans for a max effort port job, big valves and Ti retainers.I wanted a dry sump so I got a 5 stage Ed Pink pump with the air-oil separator. then came a Danny Bee belt drive. .
Im almost done collecting parts, only the oil pan, cam and lifters and a 3" Kinsler EFI manifold ...oh and head studs....and a damper....and gaskets.. and...
It feels like an expensive, 565ci, aluminum jigsaw puzzle LOL Heres a couple of part pics

Post by: IRRebel on August 10, 2011, 01:20:12 PM

Been so busy with other stuff, and finances aren't what they need to be so sad to say, no, not much has been done on the poor thing. I went through the pumps here a few weeks ago, they are indeed rebuilt and ready to go, I had dropped off a few 460 Blocks to the machine shop and they informed those two were ready go go whenever I decided what I was doing for cranks, stroker, etc. The heads I've left here, I think I want to go aluminum in some form on these. Stringers are cut, trimed and ready for install.

My attention gets diverted into something else pretty easily. I'm like a crow, all you gotta do is wave something shiney or topless at me and I'm all over it..... :banghead:

Part of it has been my attention to rear driving the blower on this 10-71 deal Harry found me, having it disassembled and put together backwards, reclearanced and timed, and I think we got the logistics of all that worked out (No thanks whatsoever to Mooneyham who made the friggin thing despite Matt and Randy's best efforts, BIG thanks to Kimberly Gear in PHX who are more than happy to make any billet blower pulley I could possibly imagine and Sun Devil Superchargers, who I don't think fully understand WHY i wanted this done on a new blower....... ;)  )  I want to see this work in something I'm not going to kill myself in and probably do the same thing twin style with 6-71's and possibly set-back the pumps. Tom and Josh are excited to do the rear plates with integral idler pulley slot (We're going to use rail kits on this).

So the plan is there, once the floor is all in and we start building the interior, etc, I can get a little more excited.   :thumbup:
