Finished making the new loader for the race boat (c/j222) today! ;D
-
Damn is that aggresive enough for yah! :screwy:
What kind of motor has to pull water through that thing?
-
Very nice work, looks tripey :D
-
It works bitchin. I made one for my horizon (496bbc 550hp) I made one for my hondo (same engine) and made one for all of our race boats.
-
looks like a possible side business for you!
-
Ya thats what I was thinking! ;D
-
What do ya do to keep the rocks n sand out of the pump when running up the rivers? The videos I've seen look like some of the water is only a couple feet deep in places! :o

I never run my boat in that shallow of water.
-
So do I just pick mine up from you this weekend or what? ::)
-
I have to make more yet and i wont get to it by this weekend. I am trying to get these gates built for a guy first, sorry! I can make some up after and bring u one to Parker in April or if i see u in glamis on March 15th 16th.
-
That might be a little too aggressive for my 425hp tahiti. Can you make one less aggressive , I don't race.
-
I can try and drop the angle a little bit.
-
If I do that though it maght not laod the pump right. I Dont Know for sure
-
I'll take one of the originals , worst case scenerio is I need more horsepower to run it , gives me a excuse to rebuild my motor!

you could also make it narrower to make it less aggressive

200.00

That is a real good deal!! If you call around on custom intake loaders you'll pay almost double that.
-
Marc, I wont have one ready by next weekend plus I might not see u out at Glamis anyways. I will have one for u at the Parker races. I've been to busy building those gates and now I have another one to start.
-
No problem!
-
Marc, Im working on yours now right now. I will have it with me in Parker.

There is no such thing as a MAGIC loader. Each hull and set up has a different necessity. Loaders are a tuning tool that need to be designed for your application. Having said that,Nick's loader works very well in his boat and he built a very cool looking loader. That doesn't mean that it will work in every boat on this forum. The loader that MPD built for Lance's Liberty has a bunch of #'s scribed into the top of it describing the dimensions. When you buy into a program such as his, you have the option of trying about 20 different types of loaders. Also, what works in rough water will not be as fast in a smooth water pass. Two loaders would be ideal. If it's glassy , put the loader in that bites less water. When it's rough install the one that has the most bite. Don't forget about the shoe !!! This must be a very carefully orchestrated effort. All of this must work together to make progress. Remember that the deeper you run this hardware, the more aggressive the boat will handle. Jet boat drivers tend to chop the throttle alot and that's a big NO-NO when you start loadin' the pump real hard.
