Did you get that boat from Barry ?
We did, Barry is a good dude, he knows my uncle at Concept Marine.

Sending all of the parts to competition coatings for powder coating and to Juan to get polished, I should be able to start bolting stuff in for good next week, also going to pick up the engine this weekend

I got the cav stuff and everything else mocked up, then stripped everything down to go get it powder coated and polished, and so I can finish the work on the hull, 3 more weeks until the SoCal thing in Parker and I still have a shit load of work to do on it, hopefully I get it done

Didn’t hit 90 because the bitchen billet carb on it doesn’t work on boats apparently, but everything went great, boat handles good no leaks and no issues, we had it out Saturday in Parker and then Sunday in Havasu. Ordered a 1250 dominator and should be back on the water next week, definitely not going out this weekend

It’s a single barrel, pro systems. They are meant for nitrous cars or tractor pulls. I talked to the guy at Pro systems he said they don’t have a mid range circuit to them only high and low, they are meant for on or off no in between.

It’s the prettiest thing on this tub, boat hauled ass still needs a little more set up, prop has a lot of lift so the nose is flighty, it does take a set as long as my foot is on the down pedal, it is a blast to drive, nice to be back in a flatty again

That’s just the joys and f having a flatty.Between my dad, me and my son, we beat the hell out of this thing, and it was on the water from March until 2 weeks ago, and almost 2 times a week. I said I would be happy if it ran in the 90’s well side by side with my cousin in a 21 Daytona on GPS it went 94mph. A few pics from 2 weeks ago with it. With 3 generation driving it

Definitely not taking this one to horsepower fest. Since it’s upside down to glass the bulkhead decided to straighten the bottom and speed coat it too.Cant wait to see it looks great already

Got the new strut supports madeI like how you tied into the motor plate. Are you ever concerned about torque forces between the engine and strut causing problems? I wanted to do something like this with a pump brace, but was talked out of it because we didn't want to risk cracking the epoxy.

Because it was so close to the engine mount it wouldn’t really matter if I tied it into the the rails or the engine plate. If I would have made a plate going to the rails it would have been pretty much right under the engine plate anyways, it made it look a little cleaner, and with the bell housing on, it kind of hides it. This is a stout old circle boat, so keeping everything tied together isn’t a bad thing. My K-boat had solid rails from the v-drive to the transom with a solid driveline, and the strut tied into it. The strut is epoxied in but more to help me align it not so much for strength. A pump also has a lot bigger mounting surface then a strut so it has more room to crack around it if that makes any since

I like what you did. It effectively ties in the engine in three planes. Also integrating the engine block as a structural component.
On a jet boat, the hole cut for the intake substantially weakens the hull. You can see and feel it moving before the intake is set. This is worse with a full setback. The few V-drives i have worked on had massively thick hulls compared to jets.
Always enjoy your work.
Cheers,

I will never forget reading an article about the team who built the first first Dodge Viper to compete in La Mans in the early '90s. The engineer said that if every part on the car is not performing at least three functions, it is not doing its job (and is adding too much weight). For example, the rear bulkhead firewall is also the front wall of the fuel cell and the back upright of the seats. This has driven all of my design philosophies ever since.

Thanks. Ya the bottom of this boat if about 3/4 of an inch thick, it’s a heavy circle boat hull. As bad as we beat on this thing I have to make it stout
