Nope we launched in Bullhead on Sunday. Was only in the gorge on Saturday. If ya came through the 5 mph zone on Saturday we were anchored on the little sandbar there towards the bottom. Here is a better pic.

oook from the little pic your boat looked different we were at that same sandbar friday and sunday....

« **Reply #13 on:** July 24, 2009, 02:06:18 PM »

Looks like we were there on the wrong day!!

« **Reply #14 on:** July 24, 2009, 02:15:06 PM »

we will be back out there august 8th and 9th. if your around we should meet up I would really like to check out your boat in person I've been whatching on here for a while. and weve got a good group of jet boaters we run with.

« **Reply #15 on:** July 24, 2009, 05:05:05 PM »

We have been out 5 times this season and its time for a break! Gonna stay at home for a few weeks and make some cash to support this habit! Then again who knows we may be back sooner than I think!

No but wish I could of kept the motor

« **Reply #19 on:** July 24, 2009, 11:11:26 PM »

Speaking of that motor do you know where the timing ended up? I got n honest 55mph @ 4300 rpm on the gps out of it going up river in laughlin that was wide open. Seems to me that boat should be pushing 70 or so n closer to 5000. Only thing I have done is gotten the headers coated, changed the oil, n adjusted the idle screw. Maybe I got some crap gas I will try 100 ll n see if that spruces it up over the 91 octane.

Give me a call don't waste your money on the fuel that motor likes a lot of air fuel and timing was only at 34 total at 3000 rpms

« **Reply #21 on:** July 25, 2009, 12:47:42 PM »

That motor needs to be at 38* total timing at 3000 RPM, jets should be 88/92. That boat will spin up to 5500/5800 it just needs someone with a little patience to make it happen. With that single carb, if there's not a 2" carb spacer under that carb, I'd put one on it, I run a Wilson Manifolds 2" billet spacer, it makes a night and day difference. If I recall that carb is an 850, keep your eyes peeled for a good 950HP unit, that'll make a big difference in that motor. You may also want to run the valves, I'm not sure how long it's been since that's been done. There's more in that boat than 67 MPH. Lots more.

No offense meant Brian, just giving the guy some advice. I know there's more in that motor, it's just got to be coaxed out of it. You did a hell of a job putting it back together, no question about that.
