This was a blown injected flat that was out running around..Someone said he may have ended up putting the thing on the rocks up river?
http://www.***boat.com/image_center/data/520/409IMGP0058.JPG
Another V-drive, didnt see it run much, but it sure was clean.
http://www.***boat.com/image_center/data/520/409IMGP0059.JPG
Another nice one, the owner said he said he wont race jet boats anymore..Thought that was pretty funny.
http://www.***boat.com/image_center/data/520/409IMGP0061.JPG
Couple nice Cp's,I was told the blue one had a small block in it .. Not sure, but it was a neat boat.The gold one didnt have such a good day on Sunday, he blew a real good size hole in the transom and nearly sunk the boat.Squirtcha in the background.

[BrendellaJet]

yeah, Rogers, or Brendella, mine looks just like that...

[TRG]

[DUNDUN]

It's a cool looking hull. I first thought it was a sanger too but it doesn't have the same rail design as the sangers.
Thanks

[WILDERTHANU]

LOOKS LIKE SOME NICE HOT RODS... ID LIKE TO BRING MY FLAT NEXT YEAR..

[Cs19]

The amount of boats in the cove on Saturday by 3 o'clock was unreal, lots of real nice stuff. Theres DJDplacecraft and cyclone in the background kickin back in the cove.

Bandy givin' me the finger. :smile: Real nice 21 Liberator tunnell there too, guy said it runs well over 100.
http://www.***boat.com/image_center/data/520/409IMGP0080.JPG

[Big Proppa]

Quick story about that bubble deck -
used to be a capsule v-drive - Tom Papp's glass man filled in the capsule area with the bubble - fu%kin beautiful up close would have never known unless he told me - then tommy did the conversion and the riggin. boat is great looking

[dgie]

Was anyone running a 455/ jacuzzi out there? Either or or both

[Cs19]

double post..

[Cs19]

Sofa King Smooth lookin to anchor his Cp. Watch out for this guy next summer, a new Engine by DNE is in the works, hes gonna be real hard to beat when its all said and done.

The 21' Liberator I mentioned earlier..Gotta love the gelcoat :)
http://www.***boat.com/image_center/data/520/409IMGP0083.JPG
This is a bahner tunnell, its in ***boat this past issue, nice boat, the owner did all the rigging,etc. himself and it looked good.
http://www.***boat.com/image_center/data/520/409IMGP0084.JPG
It had a pretty trick alternator deal, the bracket was one piece of alumuminim and it was tied into the bearing cap.

Looks like good times

[bigriverdog]

CS19, Thanks for the great shots. Did you talk to Sofa King? Didn't he just buy that boat from a guy named Tony out of Murrieta? I've seen it run and it could be a major threat.

[Cs19]

http://www.***boat.com/image_center/data/520/409IMGP0087.JPG
http://www.***boat.com/image_center/data/520/409IMGP0088.JPG
Here is something you dont see everyday in a jetboat.This guy was an engineer and designs small turbine engines, to say the least, he knew his sh*t when it came to these motors, guy said he gets 4 hours of run time and hes out of fuel, and those are some big ass fuel tanks in there.Anyways it was pretty cool to see it take off and get on plane,he mad a pass by us at 53 mph.
http://www.***boat.com/image_center/data/520/409IMGP0090.JPG
This is that Gullwing that was for sale a few weeks ago, its got a nice DNE engine and MPD rigged the boat and did the jet, he's apparently talking with Billy B. and hes gonna do a new paint job and get a little more power out of it for next summer..Cant wait to see it all finished.Nice meeting you guys, and Ill give you a call first if I get a wild hair and decide to sell my boat.
http://www.***boat.com/image_center/data/520/409IMGP0091.JPG
Heres the hole the guy has in his cp. It has a blue tarp draped over the back, but you get the idea, thats the transom your looking at..The boat was severly delaminated all over, which is why it happened.
http://www.***boat.com/image_center/data/520/409IMGP0092.JPG
Thats it for now, thanks to the Lloyd's for a great event, I had a blast!!

I think I just wet myself.... :D BAD AZZ BOATS....CP HEVEN!!!!!Would of made it but i have 7 holes in my oil pan that said NO WAY... :cry: Time to fix it faster :confused:

Ya, he bought it from Tony and hes been running it all summer up in Needles.Ya I hear it runs real good now,like 105 or something ,but wait till next summer, its gonna be ridiculous.

[HavasuDreamin']

Great shots.

[Cs19]

from what i can see,...it looks like an 18 rogers bonnevile, or maybe even a sanger jet.
I think it was an Advantage?
Its got a full cav plate set up on it, but he said its not handling well the way its set up.

[Jake W]

Very nice pics CS the white black and grey CP is very clean looking thanks for posting the pics.
Jake

[MikeF]

I think it was an Advantage?

Then it would probably be a copy of the 18' Bonnie. I believe they had the Rogers mold for awhile and probably popped a few hulls from it.

[Goodtime$]

Great Pics, talk about some serious CPs runnin around.
If anyone has seen Sofa Kings quad rotor Conquest deck with the weismen drive for sale, than you can understand how insane his jet is going to be, cant wait to see you guys runnin around, glad it was a safe and rad event....

[LUVNLIFE]

Had a great time boys. Just didn't get to meet everyone I wanted to. Thanks for another good memory :cool:

[dmontzsta]

I hope we meet again. Thanks for the experience, my GF, Son, Mom and Dad all have great memories cause of all of you. Thanks! http://dmontzmax.maximaclubca.com/SigsAndAvatars/Smilies/smiley_abtu.gif

They had it with an E pump for sure. Old Rigger would know if they had the C/G style. Maybe some day he'll post again........

[MudPumper]

Mudpumper, what exactly were you doing in this pic? :)
http://www.***boat.com/image_center/data/520/409IMGP0053.JPG
That would be me putting my foot in my mouth. :eek: :eat: Somebody else can tell the story if they would like, I still feal like an ass. :wink: Congrats to Cyclone and Jessa.

[roostwear]

Must be right after you beat Mike to it, huh?

[Windy]

My best wishes go out to Mike and Jessa...so glad we could be apart of it...I love you both very much!!!
Windy

[MikeF]

I'd imagine that Jessa said YES! :wink:
Congratulations! :D
Awaiting my :hammerhea for not being there........

[LVjetboy]

Well there was a bottle of champaign circulating, toasts and a couple high speed passes by the Cyclone...
So I'm thinking yes. :D
jer

[Bense468]

Congrats Mike that is awsome. Can't wait to get out there and see your boats run. Take it easy chief. ;)

[dmontzsta]

Was old rigger there? I was looking for him but did not see him.

[Keithb87]

It had a pretty trick alternator deal, the bracket was one piece of alumuminim and it was tied into the bearing cap.
http://www.***boat.com/image_center/data/520/409IMGP0085.JPG
How do you change that belt????

[hack job]

old rigger did not make it out there. but he sent his love for boats in the trophys ( he made them all) and they kicked ass. ;) congrats to Mike and Jessa, now to complete the trifecta you must get married at the CBBB next year! ;) it was great putting all the names to faces i was a little let down on sunday when some of our fellow boaters left anther boater sitting on the rocks and they headed to the sand bar while some of us stayed to make sure he made it on the trailer :jawdrop: , just remember with the right people any thing is possible. you can take a half sunken cp and put it on the trailer with about 8 guys

Mike you didn't blow up the spot, you just put your foot in my ass to hurry up and ask her. I was so nervous that it was just what i needed.
Anyways, Jessa did say yes and that made the whole trip worthwhile. I did get to make one speed pass with the new motor and new pump afterwards before the distributor gear let go. It felt like a whole new boat and the holeshot is a monster now.
Thanks Rivertard for the tow!
Thanks Chris and Tyson for the great ride back from the sandbar. It was an awesome weekend and I can't wait for next year. I met so many new people and old friends that i cant name them all here but thanks for making it a great weekend.

Congrats Mike and Jessa! I did not know about it until I read the posts. It was good meeting you, your boat is a beaut.

[Cs19]

Pretty weak for that crew to just take off like that and not help. :notam:
Few more pics of that single seater Southwind, thanks to Bob for lettng me sit in it. Center steering feels bitchen, I wonder if my girlfriend would get pissed if I made mine center steering? :idea: Just kidding. :cool:

I was told is this boat was found sitting in someones shop and it had never been rigged, not a single hole driled in it..Its obviously been re-painted though.Its a medium weight lay up and was made in the early to mid 80s, the buttons on the wheel are for the launch controller and pop off valve.

i checked the hin# its a 78

[Cs19]

Oh, Ya I wasn't sure, thought he said 84, but then again i only looked at about 100 boats.
Hey FourQ, I need to get that HH cover back to you one of these days. Let me know when a good time is and I will get it to you.Thanks again.
Either send a PM or call me.(not sure if my PMs are working???)

Chris water down at big river on sunday afternoon was awsome and on monday.I finally got to run that thing on some flat water and i definatlly could tell the difference with the shims in it.I called Jack yesterday i am sending him my grate and shoe to have another shim made and a blocker.calling good vibe's today to order different pulleys need more boost!

[Cs19]

Thats awesome Danny, did you gps it?
Order a msd while your at it so you can run a a rev chip. Shine that Mag set up. :)
Ya I tore into my boat tonight too, Im doing a little tweaking on it, Im gonna try a few things and see what happens.

[Jetboatguru]

Cool pics of some bad ass hardware (and ladies). Is FB2 gonna look like that? I hope so. Are flatbottoms gonna be welcome? Looking forward it. :D

[cyclone]

vdrives are welcome, especially the fast ones. :messedup:

You'll like Big River. In October, the river will be smooth and fast. The beach has grass (a LOT better than sand or rocks!) and is flat friendly. Looks kind of like the pictures of a few reservoirs up north (except for those TREE things).
So let's all join hands and....... screw that! Less than 2 months left to avoid getting the Asshanders Award!

[Jetboatguru]

Thanks Roost,
There are 4 or 5 of us V drivers that are gonna make the trip to Big River. Hopefully wont receive the asshanded award. I will see what I can do about rounding up some merchandise for the deal.

not that i've ever seen your boat run before, but somehow i think you wont be the one receieving the asshanded award. i will be sure to have the video camera out to record one of those awesome passes i've been hearing about. :mix:

[WILDERTHANU]

DRY HEADERS????

[Jetboatguru]

Cyclone, I would be willing to take you for a ride...
You can bring the camera too. :idea:
Are there going to be the same boats at FC2 that were at CBBB?
If so, this will be a great time

[hack job]

i would say some of them will be there and others will not i would go with the faster ones will all be there ;)

[victorfb]

and some of us slower ones too. :rollside:

Guru-
How about I take you for a ride in mine instead?
As far as I know, quite a few boats that were at CB3 will be at FC2. If FC1 was any indication, then FC2 will be a lot of fun.

[roostwear]

and some of us slower ones too. :rollside:
We'll take the GPS out and see just how slow you are! I'm the one with the set problems.......

No i didnt have one with me my buddy Jason has one but they went home from the avi.The mag stays i have never had any problems with the mag,seen and known to many people with msd probs.What are you doing to yours now?

I went for a ride and was still grinnin' ear to ear 6 hours later. Absolutley the most impressive boat acceleration wise that I've ever been in. :D

[dmontzsta]

I sure hope to make FC2 it sounds like it will be better than C3B.

[Squirtcha?]

The first FC was smaller and easier to meet people. You could actually focus on a conversation. However, it's already growing considerably and looking like it'll be bigger than the first FC.
Thanks to the internet it seems as though the whole classic boat scene is growing to be even larger than it was in the 60's, 70's and 80's during it's hayday. If nothing else, certainly more organized.

Bingo! Except you have a skinnier bottle and what looks to be direct port, very nice.

[dmontzsta]

I glassed two piece of wood I cut off an old pallet I had laying around, then bolted the bracket to them, that way I dont mess with the hull and can always pull up the glassed in pieces of wood.

Thats what I figured. Tell us a little more about the boat,like where you got it etc.
Also what kinds speed do you think you get out of it and what impeller and at what rpm fully hooked up? Any idea of how much power it makes?Thanks.
Bitchen boat you've got there Performance19.

thanks man. but you'd like it a lot more these days. the acceleration is much better than it was when you drove it.
What did you do to it to make the accel better?

the guy will assume that he'll lose anyways. lol

[cyclone]

What did you do to it to make the accel better?
After breaking a bronze b-cut impeller, i switched to a stainless A-cut impeller and added an inducer. Also added more power. Holeshot is much better now and she's pullin' harder than ever. .

[Taylorman]

Dam more power? How? More boost? Whats the HP now?

[cyclone]

less boost, more displacement. engine is now building right around 1,000 hp at 5psi.

[flat broke]

Damn Mike,
Its a sick world we live in :) I can remember when I thought "holy $hit, he's got 735hp in that thing!!!", Now I have more than that, and you're throwin out 1000hp like its no big thing. Its nice that the HP has become more obtainable, even cheaper to get it; but it sucks from the standpoint that keeping up with the Joneses is getting tougher and tougher :D
Chris

Chris- by the time we got back to the avi after the drive from the sandbar, i told jessa that i wouldnt mind having a boat just like yours. that thing rides like a caddy and man does it move out! I thoroughly enjoyed the ride. thanks!

[victorfb]

can we just get rid of the jones'es? :D
actually, i dig that you guys are able to achieve the HP goals that you are. i see so many boats that are seemingly family type cruisers that flat out haul ars. not to mention the racing style boats that are putting out incredible numbers. and of course speeds. if you look back and find the numbers that were achieved in the seventies, most of you guiys would be world record holders. same hulls, just newwer technology and designs. before long it will be a common thing to see most any lake boat reaching 80+ MPH. WooooHooooo, this should be fun. :smile:

[flat broke]

Mike,
You guys are welcome to a ride anytime. Personally I don't think she rides "that" good. The boat takes a lot of driver effort there to keep things smooth. When Jessa mentioned about getting beat up in the other boat, I figgured I should do my best to keep it smooth :) You realy have to attack chop head on or the stuff will hit further aft of the entry on the hull and bang the crap out of you. Needless to say Wakeboard boat rollers from the side present a bit of a problem.
I'll be excited to see what she does on the GPS as I have some specific goals in mind, and some hardware yet to add/change/try in the pump department. I definitely wasn't complaining about keeping up with the Joneses as we all seem to benefit from our mutual and relative quest for better performance.

Thats what I figured. Tell us a little more about the boat,like where you got it etc.
Also what kinds speed do you think you get out of it and what impeller and at what rpm fully hooked up? Any idea of how much power it makes?Thanks.
Bitchen boat you've got there Performance19.
Thanks...
We bought the boat new from Bill Scotten (CP). Turbo new this season. Paul Pfaff built the short block. Andy Holeman, Perforance One Custom Marine Engines did the turbo set-up. Not dynoed yet, so hp uncertain. Still getting it dialed in. Fastest we have had it was 109 GPS at 6600 rpms. Using an A impeller. Feels like there is still more to go. It's a fun ride, thanks...Jim

So when the guy rolls up on you and sees NOS lines and solenoids plumbed into the manifold but sees no bottle, he is supposed to assume .................................................. ..................what?

Jim,thats a good runnin' river racer you got there.Whats it like having turbos on it? Do you really feel the lag,or does it hit hard like a carburated boat? Im totally unfamiliar with turbos and especially in a jet boat.
Another question for you,did the boat come complete from Bill w/ no motor or?

[steelcomp]

After breaking a bronze b-cut impeller, i switched to a stainless A-cut impeller and added an inducer. Also added more power. Holeshot is much better now and she's pullin' harder than ever. .
Curious...who's bronze impeller were you running? Why did it break?

[Wally_Gator]

Most people dont notice that stuff, I am also tucking that away...pics soon.
Did you go to elsinore this weekend? I was there all day Saturday and then hit Pryamid with Halletdave and Watwzat... Good times on the lakes...
How did she run?
Get a new prop?

We bought the boat from Bill with a 461, nice ski boat. A few hundred hours later, we had Bill build another motor about 650 hp, nice and very reliable. Had an opportunity to pick up the twin turbo last Feb. It was a fresh motor. Thought the motor swap would be an easy one, but it was not. Like you, I was not totally familiar with Turbo's. Got lots of advice from Jim Wilkes and Andy Holeman. Everything had to be boost referenced. Yes, there is a little lag, but when the motor goes into boost, it's like a sling-shot. It's nice to have all the power without all the noise! Jim

How was pyramid lake? I have hear alot about it, but never been. Is there alot of Police? and lake lice?
The prop is still being retuned, should be done Tuesday. I am thinking of having it shaved down even more for more low end, but dont know if I want to sacrifice high end, I might get some different gears soon. The top of the boat is all apart hooking up the n20 lots of decisions and money have went in to it really quick. We got a new fuel pump and are thinking of running two regulators and three gauges, we shall see... 125? 150? 175? 200? its all about the tuning.

[Wally_Gator]

Don,
We had never been to Pyramid..
I asked while paying how many Lake Lice were allowed on and apparently it is limited to 66.
Don't ask me how many boats they limit it to.
It is MUCH bigger than Green Smellsinore. Water was nice, Plenty of coves that you can duck into for clean water. Wind picked up early but we had fun on the beach. Definately have to go back again.. Unlike Elsinore, they only charged $14 to launch. Unlike Elsinore, they did not charge additional for more than two people.
But, oh wait... It completly sucked, no one should go there. jk..

[Brooski]

Hey guys, once my fun boat is running, let me know if you head back to Pyramid. I am only an hour away. Hopefully in a couple of weeks I should be on the water. Cant do Sundays though, gotta work. Do ya ever go during the week? Thur? Fri?

[Drunk tank]

Is this a pretty regular event? If I have my whoopty lookin good by this time next year itd be fun to come peep out all the oldies

Curious...who's bronze impeller were you running? Why did it break?
It was a Heritage impeller which if i'm not mistaken is a copy of a Legend. Basically it broke because i had it repared once when it ate up some rocks and then the following season I added 200 hp to the motor which proved to be too much.
I hit a roller at about 80 mph and the boat pump unloaded while i still had my foot on the gas. I think once the pump re-loaded the impeller couldnt take the shock and that's when it broke. put a few nice quarter size holes in it and cracks too.

trust me when i say it still rides better than mine. I have to aim straight for rollers and put the diverter all the way down or the chop hits behind the front seats, past the hull entry and its rough. The only way to make it ride better is to put the ride plate down from 4-drees to zero. You've got one great boat there my friend.

[Wally_Gator]

Hey Cyclone,
How's that motor of yours doing? Get it apart yet?

[cyclone]

nope not yet. been busy with work. but i'm pulling the pan and cleaning out the remants of the old distributor gear this week and will be out testing again next week. I'll be ready to go for labor day weekend. Hows your boat Wally?

[Brooski]

So since I have learned a BIG lesson in the use of a rev limiter, does anyone have a 454 block laying around that they may not want? I found out that not only did I hit the valve against the piston, I have a long crack in the cylinder wall. If only I knew how high it revved. :hammer2:

[Nucking futs]

Hey brooski,if your not building a killer engine put a sleeve in it.It will be ok as long as the crack is not into the register potion of the block.You would be fine with a 500hp or so engine and the sleeves are cheaper then a used block as well.Have the block sonic checked and go from there...Tim

[Brooski]

He mentioned doing that, I was just being cheap and hoping I could get a block real cheap. When its done I should be between 400-450hp. Thanks for the input. Im hoping it can be done by Sept 10, trip planned to Naci. It better be done by FBC2. Need to show off (and consume lots)

[Nucking futs]

That would be the way to go i.m.o..The blocks are getting harder to find and more $$$.Just sleeve it and get it running.You might find a block for cheap but it might not be ant good.Have seen alot of them getting tossed after getting sonic checked but that is for the higher H.P. engines.I might have one in a few days.I will let you know by the weekend if you want it?Needs to be bored to .060 but that would work for ya.i will call you on sat......Tim

[Brooski]

Sounds like a winner. Call me and let me know. I should know by then what the exact damage to the block was. Just dont call too early. Friday will be a late one. Maybe I will repay the favor at 2 am. :D :D

[dmontzsta]

Its kind of weird, I noticed that chevy blocks are getting harder to find. Also, the parts are right around the same price and availability as Fords now. I guess too many people went crazy with the chevys. Time to build a 460 brooski!!! :D

[Brooski]

Uh, NO! Cheby all the way! :p
Ford :argue: Chevy

[Squirtin Thunder]

Brooski,
If you check with your local dismantler they can go on a hot line and find one anywhere in the US and Mexico and even Canada. Remember Aluminum Blocks have sleaves in them. I think they run 500hp - 8000hp if I remember corectly.
Just a thought
Jim

[Wally_Gator]

It has been running great. Found out that my fuel pump is not up to the task for my boat. Most likely too old of a mechanical. Have seen virtually 0 psi at WOT.
I am curious as to what kind of gear you had on your distributor? It would seem to me that something else would have caused it's failure. Maybe the oil pump?

Looks like it was a good time. Sorry I could not make it-Dave Aggressor.
