Nor Cal Hooky Day on the delta Oct 15th

[Boatmaster]

Everyone in the crew (and you know who you are) the date has been set for the third annual Hooky Day on the Delta, it's Oct 15th. Meeting at Orwood for breakfast at around 8 and then heading to Chris's island. May set up some kind of poker run or just radar runs as in the past, but its still a good reason to blow off the shop and get one last day out before the rain shows up. Hope to see a few new faces there from the boards there!

[HP350SC]

OK talked to Wayne, he might make it. Cliff not too interested so far, John also a maybe, and a maybe for me so I guess that's about as wishy-washy as it gets! :D Weather will be the BIG factor for us. Don't want to pull over the Siskiyou's if there is snow.

[diggler]

Sounds good to me. I'm Randy's friend, and he gave me a heads up about this. He may ride with me or not, we'll see. If the weathers OK, I should be there.

[Boatmaster]

Diggler are you the one I talked to that bought Mike's Ultra? If so it would be great to see how you run with Kevin.

[HP350SC]

Well Rock-it Man is out, previous plans. I'm sure as hell not making that run by myself. :sleeping: :D

[RACER52]

Well I have some work to do after this weekends poker run but I will be there with or without a boat. We may be hatchless on Oct. 15th.
Will post pics tomorrow.
Racer

[HP350SC]

All right, what's the deal racer52??? Steppin the motor up?

[Boatmaster]

Tell me you did'nt loose the hatch with all the porn in it!!!! :cry:

[Boatmaster]

Sorry to hear that just read your other post. See ya on the 15th, you know you can ride with me and the weedwackers if needed.

[HP350SC]

Doh! Saw your other post a swell. $1000 helps ease the misery a little I hope :(

[diggler]

Diggler are you the one I talked to that bought Mike's Ultra? If so it would be great to see how you run with Kevin.
I sure am! Look forward to getting out there. The funny thing is, that Friday I have off already, and won't be playing hooky at all!

[Robbie Racer]

Hey Diggler, congratulations on the new Ultra. Which model and what motor?
Boatmaster, I will try to make it to Orwood for the 3rd annual Hooky day if I can find a place to store my boat near there for that weekend. We have a NJBA race in Bakersfield that weekend and I have to be down there the evening of the 15th for registration. It would be too much towing to pull the boat over to Orwood and then back home and then drive down to Bakersfield that same evening. :sleeping: I will let you know if I can find a place with secure indoor storage for that following weekend and if I do, I will plan to be there.
RR

[RACER52]

Robbie Racer=I am sure we can handle your indoor boat storage. I have room for your boat in my shop always. I could even tow it over and let you just hit the road. I could leave my boat in the water for the weekend and tow yours home with me.
My shop is in stockton and Hulshot has room in his garage and its only 5 miles down the road. Sounds like he wont be getting his boat till around then.
Just make sure your drive is sealed this year :hammerhea
Racer

[Robbie Racer]

Hey Racer, thanks for the offer. That sounds good if I can store it in your shop for a few days. I don't mind towing it to Stockton after we pull off the river (depending on what time we get off the river) and then heading down to Bakersfield. I just wasn't too excited about towing it two hours back to Gilroy and then driving another 4 hours down to Bakersfield that night.
I think I have the drive leak plugged this year so that shouldn't be a problem. Now if I can only remember not to get too close to the bank and get the prop in the mud and ding it up again like I did last year. :idea:
RR

[Boatmaster]

RR call Hulshot his house is no more than two miles from Orwood. His garage is empty as of now!!!

[RACER52]

RR= sounds good, either way your storage problems are handled.
Now I just have to get on the ball and get my blowers sealed. Somehow the o-ring under the manifold blew out and at any boost it was leaking fuel. I was able to get on plane and then played with the throttle to keep the boost close to zero and it didnt leak. I dont think the hatch blowing off had anything to do with it, shoot it could have been leaking for a long time
But I do know that the blowers will be exposed on any future outings. I wonder how much water the rear intake throttle bodies will injest at high speeds.???? :idea:
Racer

[randy77zt]

boatless and still broke!wont make it with diggler-will be in cabo.will have to get another boat soon .i feel like the guy that bought aluminum siding for the house instead of a new harley.next time i come out to chris's island i wont wake everybody up.

[hulshot]

I know I will be part orf the festivities with or without a boat. I just cant get the time to get up to get it.I will try to have it by the 15th.
Keith you have seen my garage and it is empty. you can bring it over. it will be locked up and covered indoors. give me a call.
I need to rear the other poatfrom racer52. I'm outa here!!!!!!!!!!

[hulshot]

WOW whats up with my spelling????? I need to get smellcheker or somthing.

[Robbie Racer]

Hey Don, thanks for the offer to loan me your garage for a few days. That will work out great. :)
Drew, are you still planning some radar runs if Randy doesn't make it with his radar gun? By the way I was over at Gary Williams house yesterday. Besides that bad assed F-34 he has for sale, he also has a matched pair of 30 pitch 4 blade Mercury Cleavers for sale that fit the 225 pro max motors. Do you know of anyone that might want them?
Keith

[Boatmaster]

RR don't worry our man with the gun is Kevin Kraft and last I heard he was still in. I know about those props Gary has and have been trying to find a home for them.

[Robbie Racer]

Oh yeah, that's right, Kevin has the gun. Okay, I better fill up one of the tanks with some race gas then. :D

[stoker2001]

http://www.***boat.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=5882 something for you all to shoot for on all motor.folsom lake is sweet this time of year on week days.

[Robbie Racer]

Nice run Stoker. Are you going to make it out on the 15th?

[stoker2001]

Boatmaster.... are you Drew of Boatmasters on Village Parkway?

[RACER52]

nope couldnt be the same guy, the guy at boatmasters knows a thing or 2 about boats. this guy is a fake :lightsabe
Racer

[hulshot]

from what I remember Keith ran 128 on the motor last year??????? And isnt it run whatcha brung???? I will just have a 30 pack with me so you know I will be running.

[RACER52]

I think tunnel T outta let kids stay home so they can run the little T boat.
Wouldnt that be a sight. 2 kids driving like maniacs to each stop.
Hulshot=no boat?? a 30 pack might not be enough :coffeycup
Racer

[stoker2001]

from what I remember Keith ran 128 on the motor last year??????? don,if anybody can run 120,s naturally asperated i would think you could do it,now get to work :hammer2: or get on the road and get your boat on time :eat:

[HP350SC]

Hulshot- Is the Stoker a done deal? stoker 2001- nice gps #....I ain't there yet :cry: I'll see if I can step it up this winter :cool:
With all the breakdowns I'm glad my boat's still running good though. Weather finally cleared up :cool: after a week of rain up here, hitting a local island for margaritas on Saturday. Not a day too soon either :rollside:

[hulshot]

No it is not a done deal yet because I dont have have it here. nothing is final until its in my garage. ..
Kevin when I get this boat I will just play for a while until the engine goes then I will do the things I wanted to do inthe first place. I dont think 120 is in my near futur. maybe someday though. I almost hope the motor blows so I can start playing.

[Boatmaster]

Yes Boatmaster=Drew, but I still don't know dick! :hammerhea F it I'm calling it a day already and going to the water with the Skater SEE YA!! Be out at the island all day!

You suck, I have to put in some hours! We are going out of Disco tomorrow, keep an eye out!
See ya Mañana!

[RACER52]

change of plans and we will be driving the boat out to the island tomorrow.
So if you see the bright blue and orange cat stop by.

I thought you were Drew. You had done some work for me on my older boat (trailer actually), the 1972 Tahiti jet, white with blue checkered flags on it.
My name is Derk (the reason for the screen-name Diggler). Then I had to call you to find 110 octane fuel for the Ultra I bought from Mike Schmidt. Cool, now another connection in the Delta!

[hulshot]

Hey boatmaster So exactly how does that SKATER run these days??? All of you guys suck, I am working to try to get a boat and you all hae one and are using them.. WWAAAAA!!

[moneysucker]

I am thinking about towing mine up there tomorrow and possibly running it there after the FBC2 event anyone know any good indoor storage places in modesto stockton area? It is a 19 southwind drag tunnel. I would be down with a run on the delta. Never been out there.

[RACER52]

money sucker=
you lookin for permanent storage or just for the weekend??
There are lost of places up here, but if its just for the weekend we might be able to help

Well Don, had quite a scare on my boat Saturday. Totally my fault from hitting margarita's all day. The blender was running avgas. Did a full throttle pass, turned around, forgot to trim down , began another race and went to trim at 100+. Wind caught it and she started going over even as I was trimming down and letting off throttle. Probably about 40 deg. tilt on smooth water :eek: When I bought this boat I told myself not to get too f...ed up and drive. That was the first and last time I will do that! Ruined a good set of boxers :messedup:

[RACER52]

hp350- boxers are cheap if a lesson is learned. Glad your able to post about it.
On a better note the little woman has driven the boat 2 weeks in a row for that reason alone. Now when the margaritas are flowing she'll be driving.
Only thing that scrares me is that she was really lovin it and started to use the trim button :frown:
MAybe i'll be watchin her at next years CAt Attack?????
Racer

[HP350SC]

Learned a lesson I already knew though.... :idea: I think I'll work on acceleration for now, and if there is a side benefit of top speed that's OK too. I will be changing fuel system to Aeromotive/bypass setup this winter, have tried everthing to maintain pressure with current setup and no go. Also some prop changes coming in near future.

Hey Diggler, congratulations on the new Ultra. Which model and what motor?

I didn't hear anything about a Pedro get together and now I got roped into going to a wedding this Sunday. :yuk: A Pedro run sure sounds like more fun.
Won't be racing at Merced either. We are still leading in the NJBA PGJ points race so we are focusing all our resources on winning that championship. Good luck bringing home the Modified Eliminator trophy from that race. :cool:

mike,make sure and get that linkage fixed too.sorry i couldnt resist :D :D :D
You're too kind :D :D The kit they put on was pieced together, and one of the shafts that is supposed to be splined isn't. I adjust and tighten it every once in awhile but just need to quit being lazy and fix it right. Was not meant to be a b/s excuse, not sure if it was out of adjustment at that time cuz I didn't notice it for a month or so after that. Are you right around 10 sec. to 100? I'm at 13 sec. to 100, but I'm going to try the Merc. 5 blade pitch for pitch. Powerboat mag. tested a 22 Nordic (hp500efi 1.50 1.5" raised X ).... 0-10 seconds, the 32p B1 was at 25mph and the 32p Maximus at 50mph. Only 2 tenths top end lost with the 5 blade. Maybe I can close the gap on ya a little?? :D

[Dimarco21]

Hey O.C. I guess that means I'm going. :D

[stoker2001]

. Are you right around 10 sec. to 100? . Maybe I can close the gap on ya a little?? :Dat the drags i leave on the seven on the countdown clock.you have one hundred and twenty feet before you break the photoeye beam,so i am truckin about 40 mph (guessing)when the et clock starts.my best at the 1/8 (660feet) is 5.8@100mph and my best 1/4 is 10.18@107.so you can see i am almost done at half track.i have raced true mid nine second boats at the lake and when they give me a real slow start i can give them a hell of a run cause most of the lake draggin isnt a full 1/4.mike,because of my feather liteness of the pisspot you would stand a much better chance at the real drags.i am runnin the boat this weekend at the califonia finals with a little hotter tune up and hopeing to crack the high nines in qualifing in the good mornin air then run ten flat in the afternoon

[MOBrien]

Well,
hopefully with a little help from some of the NorCal locals....I might be able to make it out and meet all you folks. Desperately need an impeller repair and 100hr before she's gettin back in the water. The 15th sure sounds like a great day away from the office.
Racer52 - never did hear back from Gator. Did you get a chance to speak to him about his availability? With him taking off on the 5th it doesn't seem likely. If that's not gonna work, I may have to just weasel my way into Sterling Marine or Larson Marine here in Rancho Cordova to get the sucker fixed in the next week or so.
Unless.....Does anyone have any other recommendations local to Sacramento for this kind of service? The clock's tickin on me & I need some speedy help.
THANKS & Hope to see you all on the water...................

What is the plan for the day? :hammerhea

MOBRIEN=
boatmaster is another half hour or more drive but he will get your boat done the same day!!!! That aint bad if no-one else is calling ya.
They do awesome work.
Racer
Norcal--I'll post the days activities as soon as we all agree on them. I'll
ring Boatmaster to set up the details.
Do you guys want to keep the runs short like from
Orwood to Tiki Lagoon 20 min run
Tiki to Union Point 25 min run
Union point to Bethal 30 min run
and then radar runs infront of the island and the slough between Bullfrog
and the train/draw bridge.
or longer or shorter
what do you think

[Boatmaster]

I'm open to anything, but how about heading to Riverboat also? Maybe a beach stop at the Ski Beach in stockton for a photo shot.

[Nor-Cal]

Is a full tank enough fuel for that run? LOL :mix:

[Boatmaster]

No problem the Skater holds 140gal!!!!

[Nor-Cal]

No problem the Skater holds 140gal!!!!
...i was speaking for myself :p , no really, is 26 gal.'s enough?

[Boatmaster]

It should be, just put on your big wheels!! Sorry wheel :rolleyes:

[RACER52]

each one of those stops has a fuel dock.
My boat gets the worst gas mileage out of the group hands down.
I think I could make all the stops on 1 tank maybe tank and half.
Boatmaster- the run to riverboat could be from union piont.
that would be the best run- theres atleast 5-6 spots I can think of in that run that are good for 110mph.
Maybe over breakfast at Orwood we can all decide. Shouldnt be hard to agree.
Racer

[Boatmaster]

Amen Brutha!! :D

[billet racing]

I'd like to go. Keep eyeing this site. all these big boats going thou, I don't know. I cannot not make the miles you can. 21'jet
Need to leave by noon to head For Bakersfield. Maybe I'll just meet for the breakfast, then hit the road. Took Friday off already.

I may bring gas cans on the boat, sounds like a long run.
Provided weather is OK, I should be there late Thursday afternoon. Anybody up for some silvers? One of you guys have an extra bed and shower Thursday night? Could bring air mattress too. Would help me keep costs down a little as my Lightning burns premium, and lots of it in 1300 miles.......

Boatmaster are you goind to have the Skater fixed by then, if so great I am still boatless. (SUCKS) But not for long hehehehehehehe!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What happend to Mark with the 21 DAytona.. What about Phil from Shasta?? My neighbor is going, 21 jet daycruiser and alot of beer. Might have another neighbor with a 82 sanger Flat going if he can get it running by then. has been instorage for 5-6 years. dont forget the drinks everyone. Now if everyone shows who has said they are coming, this should be a good outting.
Yes I will miss the bigger boats but I will get over that when I hit the gas in my new one, even though it is smaller.
Tunnel T is you cousins going with the lavey's??

[hulshot]

Hey Kevin we will be cheering for you. I dont hate outboards I just preferre Inboards. I just think it is funny about all the trash talking the whacker guys do to the car boat guys, but now it seems like the outbords are now having troubles running or keeping the motors together, CARMA........

Thanks Dimarco21, I'll let you know as it gets closer. Will know for certain if I can go by Monday. Have to fix fuel system and hope it isn't too costly. Can you elaborate on the "camp out" in front? :D

[MOBrien]

:idea: I'm coming from Elk Grove/Sac.............................
Where the heck should I launch from to get there? Not familiar with the delta at all & have no idea how to find you guys.

[NorCalCat]

I will be traveling on business, however, it all of the sudden looks like I will be coming home on Thursday form New York. What time is everyone meeting and where, I am going to try to make it!

[Boatmaster]

Very nice to hear NCC the best place to launch would be Orwood resort or Discovery Bay Marina. MObrien you could launch in Stockton, but if you do not know where you are you will have a hell of a time finding us.

[Dimarco21]

HP350SC check your PM's.

Anyone going out this Sunday?

NCC did you go out last week I think I saw your trailer behind a new Super Duty in The Disco Bay Lot. I may be out Sunday.

[22EXTREME]

:D Aright babysitter confirmed,
What time are we meeting at orwood for bloddymarys????
we should be there between 8-9a.m.
count "IN TOO DEEP" to be there with plenty of "SILVER SODAS"
She may be slow but carries a big cooler.
Tunnel T are you gonna make it??????
I can bring a bucket to make margarittas hahahaha!!
Ok drew i'll bring "2" buckets for you,you'll need 2 right???????

[Boatmaster]

I'll take two of everything :hammerhea !! I first said 8 at Orwood, but between 8and 9 sounds good to me. To be there by 8 I would be leaving the dock at TunnelT's at 7 in the dark! And yes T will be there. I know a few people will be launching on thursday night and leaving there boats at Tunnel T's dock over night. Mine should be back out on the hoist by then. :rolleyes: Oh yeah, pre party at T's house thursday night.

[Boatmaster]

[stoker2001]

Hey Kevin we will be cheering for you. I dont hate outboards I just preferre Inboards. I just think it is funny about all the trash talking the whacker guys do to the car boat guys, but now it seems like the outbords are now having troubles running or keeping the motors together, CARMA........just got home from drags,call it a cinderella story and a lot of luck :rollside: but wasnt sure how strong it would be after puttin 70 hard hours of delta runnin on it this summer.first pass was 9.87@108mph.now i had to add weight to try and slow it down for ten flat index.will i added 25 lbs and i still had to back peddle every round and made it to final (outta 16 boats).well i treed him at the lights by .11 and the race was mine to win,but didnt back peddle enough and ran a 9.96 and the flat was safe by .005.on a sad note i witnessed john hippells 200+ mph fatal crash.our thoughts and prayers go out to him and his family.it really put a damper on a perfect day of racing :confused:

[Robbie Racer]

Kevin, congratulations on a great job of driving and making it to the final round. Way to go on getting that wacker into the 9's.
That was so sad to hear about John's fatal crash. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and crew.

[Boatmaster]

MOBrien right turn on Bixler, 3-4 miles to stop sign, turn right, Orwood resort will be 1\4 mile on your right. KK great job, glad to hear the wacker handed out the smack down. Nothing pisses the carboat guys more than LOOSING to a clamp-on :p . Very sad to hear about the crash, everyone at the Boatmaster's shops thought are with the family and crew :frown: .

[NorCalCat]

NCC did you go out last week I think I saw your trailer behind a new Super Duty in The Disco Bay Lot. I may be out Sunday.
Yep, that was me. I left the boat in the water that Saturday, and came back on Sunday.

[RACER52]

sounds like the Delta is in trouble.
Just got back from DonPedro, we had a great weekend.
We met a new hot boater who's sportin a new 25 elimintor with canopies.(lime green, with purple and yellow eliminator graphics.)
We ran a few times and had fun. We agreed that I had about 5mph on him.
Made me feel good cause he was running a whippled 870hp. motor built by Semper.
Him and his wife said they will come up for the 15th. They were excited about learning the Delta.
Stoker=congrats on the good runs.
Racer

[acatitude]

Still waiting for motor, hoping for this weekend, but don't see how I can make hookey day since I'm in Reno all week. Be safe ya'll, have fun. Hey Troy how about emailin me that guys info on the power steering. I might as well get all this done now. I'll have a cold one at lunch like I'm there. :D

[Boatmaster]

Getting motor back? Should have waited to freshen up the Howard till at least it really got cold.

[stoker2001]

thanks guys for all the kudos!!!whats wrong with this picture?rookies in whackers are not suppose to do this!!still thinking about john hippells crash tho :frown: http://www.***boat.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=6236&stc=1

[stoker2001]

oh ya, :) i forgot to say i was in the right lane for the victory :)

[Robbie Racer]

Wow, perfect reaction time. I would frame that time slip if I were you. That's what I call "pushin' the tree". Congratulations!!! I can't read your ET very clearly. Is that a 10.00 or a 10.06? Either way, awesome run.

[stoker2001]

Wow, perfect reaction time. I would frame that time slip if I were you. That's what I call "pushin' the tree". Congratulations!!!thanks keith!!it is hard to see in pic but elapsed time was 10.000.still cant believe it :supp: look forward to seeing you on hooky day

[Robbie Racer]

That's awesome. I have never seen a run before that had a perfect .000 RT and a perfect .000 on the dial in on the same run. I would frame that time slip for sure.

[Nor-Cal]

thanks guys for all the kudos!!! whats wrong with this picture? rookies in whackers are not suppose to do this!! http://www.***boat.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=6236&stc=1
Hmmmm, either a glitch in the system, or the smoke from the 2-stroke clowded the lights... :D
Boatmaster/Racer52.. could we lock down a time to meet.. 'cause between 8-9 is kinda vauge? I say 8-8:30?
-NC
/me keeps fingers crossed that it does not rain

[RACER52]

I think if everyone is at orwood before 9 we will be all good.
We'll be there around 8 to hang out and wait. So 8:30 would be perfect.
Boatmaster- maybe we should set a couple scheduled runs in stone si I can call the Marinas. Better safe than sorry.
MO-brien- I would suggest launching at Orwood. Even though launching in Stockton is close by water it will be freakin cold at 7:30 on the water.
10 days till some Fun Runs :eek: :eek:
Racer

[T-Bag]

Looks like I got the day off and want to come and play. I havn't meet alot of people from any forums (other than the v-drive section) and will be there with a 24' cat. see ya on Friday. I need directions from lodi

[Boatmaster]

Take 99 south to I5 south, Take Charter Way/ hwy4 west 18 miles to Discovery Bay. 2nd light on hwy4 in Disco is Bixler, turn right, go 3 miles till stop sign, turn right and Orwood resort will be on your right about 1/4 mile up.

[hulshot]

Boatmaster when is the wife leaving? I will bring some sodas on Fri after, if I am invited? A valve spring broke inthe new heads and the oil pump sucked it up in the Howard. Did not damage the motor. (whew) I may not be bringing sodas to the water on Fri, somthing alittle stronger maybe, and it comes in red. did everyone put new spark plugs in, cause we dont want any excusses now do we??

[billet racing]

Looks like I'll have time for breakfast, then got to head out for Bakerfield. Any plans on what time you will all start gathering, and is there a breakfast joint there?

[Boatmaster]

Orwood Resort between 8-9am, and yes they have a great breakfast.

[hulshot]

TT, Drew, R 52, are you guys going to breakfast by water, I may need a ride so I dont have to go back to Orwoods later. What time do the pre and post parties start??? I ended up getting all wekend off if I wanted... anyone going out this Sunday?
Hp sorry to hear you are not coming down. Did you get the fuel system fixed.
Kevin we watched you smack all your compettitors on Sunday. Sorry you broke out in the finals and lost. You still beat him to the end though.
that is a strong running piss pot as you call it.
Is it the 14th yet.

[stoker2001]

thanks don for the warm fuzzys,was thinking of doin delta this sunday,but hear weather is goin to be cold.look forward to seeing you all next friday

[RACER52]

I'll be launching at Orwood. Will save a little gas that way since I think I'll run good gas for this day.
Puttin my boat in storage till thursday. I'm all done and ready for next Friday
Racer

[Robbie Racer]

How far will we be going from Orwood? I need to figure out how much "good" gas to bring? :notam:

[Rock-it man]

OK ! I'm back from Havasu and was thinking on trying to make this little deal on the Delta keeping in mind that I have broke every time I was down there !!!!! My drive held up at Havasu ,it was nice to make a whole PokerRun without breaking. This Weisman drive is the ticket !!!!!!!!! I hammered it all weekend at Havasu , We were the frist sgl eng boat to Havasu Springs and the fifth overall,the water was very rough could barely keep it in the water we ran the 20+miles at 110 mph the drive came out of the water many times and did not break.Still only have the prop I got from Washed Ashore and really need more pitch for the power i'm making, we never got over 12 lbs boost.
Where is a good place to Stay Fri night close to the launch point and I need instructions to where you all will be launching. I only hold 90 gal of fuel and it dosn't last long ,the boat is set up for 110 . I need to detune to run there if I will burn more than that. this is as long as the weather is good.

[deltarat]

I had the pleasure of going to Merced with a couple of you guys and kids on Sunday and I just wated to say that I had a great time. I to enjoyed watching Stoker2001s perfect pass, and like everyone else was absolutely stunned by the Hippwell crash, my heart goes out his family and freinds. Don if you want to go for a ride on Sunday just knock on the door. If anyone has a empty seat on Friday I would love to use it as I already know my old jet can't keep up with you all.

[HP350SC]

Hulshot- Poor man fuel system is good for now, ran separate -8 lines to bowls and drilled out pump tee. Will get me through to next year.
Drew- Don't count me out yet. Now that Rock-it is going we could share some costs. Did the prop show up?
Stoker2001- great job driving, but that boat is too fast..you need to sell it :D
Anyone- may have 1 extra seat, but will be a rough ride :rolleyes:

[MOBrien]

D-rat: No worries on bein one of the slow pokes...my boat's a sled too (60mph trimmed & wiggly :D ). If you gotta boat, you gotta bring it. Pure principle.
Rock-it: PM Boatmaster, TunnelT, or Racer52 for directions & ideas on accomodations if there's no direct response in this post. Those guys know what's what around the Delta. All I know is that many of us are launching at "Orwood" in Discovery Bay sometime around 8:30am on Friday.
See ya all out there......................

Bullfrogs right outside of Orwoods has 110.

[RACER52]

one tank of gas should be enough. if not there's gas at almost all the marinas in the area we'll be running.
I hold 56 gallons and hope to only run the end of the day on a refill with pump gas.
If everyone is running "good gas" and we want to keep the mileage down we can, that way we can have more time for some radar runs!!!
I'll have maps and and we can decided the final runs and or stops over breakfast.
RIM=congrats on a full boating trip without a mechanical prob.
The final stop is at an island where I'm sure you can stay.
Hell I probably will too!!!
mobrien=d-rat, this is the delta were talkin about. most runs are short so you wont have to worry about being the slow poke. :2purples:

Boatmaster is out having a pre-hookie day on the Delta today.
Rotten bastard.

[deltarat]

Don't miss understand me, if there is water to float in and beer to be drank the boat will be there. I just thought it would be nice to get there a little faster for a change.

Ok now were turning up the heat with some boats. I like the list. Wayne, come on down. I just saw the forcast and it call for 82 on friday with little or no winds, and sunny. Hp make the haul. Wayne, why do you have to leavea at sunset or dark. It will be easy to get back arund where we will be.
Boatmaster, damn you, you get to have all the fun. My phone never rings with envites???? what gives?????
Racer are you launching on Fri morn at orwoods or thurs adn keeping it at TT,s place.
Hey wayne, I thought you said you were going to spin your motor up to 7000+ rpms, why wont you do it now with the prop you have. put the boost to it and stand on it. It will be ugly when the little piss pot of Kevins runs by you at you max speed. You dont want that to happen now do you.
Deltarat, I am very positive we will get you a ride in a larger boat, or smaller. It is not a race, just a group of people enjoying boating together. I think on Sun I have hunnydooooosss. I just got the report fromt the boss.
Cant wait for Friday.....
P.S. Hullshot might be packin somthin Fri. Shhhh dont say anything just yet..

[sleek willy]

This sounds alot better than working friday :rollside: . So can I get in on this??? My boat is a 28' Sleekcraft Enforcer tunnel V with a blown 502 , it would be cool to run with some fast boats

PISS POT !!!!! sounds like you called it right !!! come on now !!! do you really think I can be intimadated anymore !!!! now that I have a drive that wont break. To turn up the boost anymore requires VP-C16 fuel and I really need a bigger prop to do that, 135-140-mph on 110 will take care of all commers down there anyway !!!!!even with Robbies juice !!!!
What ya mean its not a race ,!!Its always a race !!!!!!!!

I'd say 2 to 1 in favor of Keith, but I'll throw $20 on ya Rock-it! :D Yes I know it isn't much, but this is an expensive trip for me. The quad rotor/surface drive combo. should pull it off in the end. :hammer2: Hehehehe this bench racing is fun !!!

My money's on Keith as long as the equipment holds up. :idea:
Maybe you two should just play chicken and get it over with. :boxingguy

NO, NO..........Wait, that's a bad idea. :( I've been drinking tonight. :messedup:
See ya all Friday.

[deltarat]

The quad rotor/surface drive combo....I would be lucky if my wife let me buy a quad, get the rotors resurfaced on my truck and eat a combo pizza. If you can pull that combo off you the man.

[hulshot]

Rokit mouth is starting to get wound up. from the last meetings rokit and Robbie have made, with rokits claimed speed numbers he should have stomped Robbie Racer, but instead Keith was doing the stomping and he still just smiles and doesnt say a word about what his boat should or shouldnt do. Keith has never had to back up his mouth with his boat, unlike some of us have been triing to do for quite some time now. Wanyne, no more excuses. You have poured so much money into your boat you could have at least 10 of our boats. So come on what is anther 1000-1500 on a new prop. Why do you have troubles finding props now?????? I dont think the race teams with #6 drives have problems finding or fixing props. You know you could have one in a matter of days, but maybe your affraid your boat wont run the numbers you want, and you are procrastinatng until you can figure it out.
Boy I love modivational writing. It gets us fired up..
Rokit when are you coming down and how many are with you, also how long will you stay??? same with you HP.
I just say a neighbor with a 28 advantage cat with a single in it. I will try to talk to them also about Fri.
Drew how was the water? Is there water hyasin growing everywhere yet?? Are you floating at TT house now??

[HP350SC]

Hulshot- No more than 2 with me as that's all the Lightning seats. Haven't made up my mind to haul my boat down and run it, or kick in money and ride with Rock-it and leave mine home. Only thing I worry about is if I should blow motor or something I sure as hell don't want to see it sitting in the garage all winter, waiting for the money to fix it. Gimme some input guys, tow-away or stowaway?

[stoker2001]

don,you gonna have your new ride?we just got back from al stokers place last night and broke the bank.friggen unbelievable what this new shit cost these days!!!!.the wife is super excited and picked out all the new colors for the 224.this will be first one al has done with whacker power.will be pretty boreing in the smooth stuff,but we did opt for the carbon kevlar layup that saves close to three hundred pounds :cool:

You have poured so much money into your boat you could have at least 10 of our boats. So come on what is anther 1000-1500 on a new prop. Why do you have troubles finding props now?????? I dont think the race teams with #6 drives have problems finding or fixing props. You know you could have one in a matter of days, but maybe your affraid your boat wont run the numbers you want, and you are procrastinatng until you can figure it out.
Boy I love modivational writing. It gets us fired up..
Rokit when are you coming down and how many are with you, also how long will you stay??? same with you HP.
I just say a neighbor with a 28 advantage cat with a single in it. I will try to talk to them also about Fri.
Drew how was the water? Is there water hyasin growing everywhere yet?? Are you floating at TT house now??
Come on now HS !!!!! I only raced Robbie once and he beat me by 2 mph and only cause I screwd up that day and that was when I had a 1471 on the motor !!! Now things have changed just a little bit he ! he ! he ! When I give out speed numbers you can take them to the bank NO BS !!!!! .Now that the drive problems have been solved you all will be singing a different tune !!! I ran 135mph at Shasta three weeks ago at 6400 rpm at 12-14 lbs boost then what do you think I can do at 20 lbs boost on race fuel !!! thats with this little prop I have 16.25 x 29 . If Robbie can run135+ he may have a chance untill I get the right prop.The reason I cant find a prop is the ones I need have to be built at Mercruiser and they were back logged for 4-5 weeks its not the cost it was the time to get them. Makes no since to boost it anymore without a bigger prop . There may be four of us in my boat not sure yet. Its raining up here and foggy today hopr the weather will be better down there.

What time do we all meet for breakfast !!! and where

[Rock-it man]

Hey ! Guys !! I'm planing on moving up to a 36 cat the winter of 2005 and selling this boat late next summer so keep me in mind if ya see a bargin on a 36,I don't mind rebuilding a used one but also am looking at a new Eliminator 30 with Wiseman drives and BIG ! BIG ! motors ,i'm wondering how a couple of Nat Asperiated 740 cu in motors would do ,cruise at 140 all day long with no blower problems !!! top speed would not be so important but being able to run a long Pokerrun at 140 and no worry about the rough water or drive or motor problems I think may be a winner.

[mendo]

Where do you launch? How far do you go? Can the slow guys (65) catch up eventually?

[MOBrien]

Rock-it........
I KNOW Keith can run over 135. Saw it live at the B-to-B...might've been closer to 140 if I remember right. Pretty sure we'll see it again. Hope your rig's ready, I'm sure Keith's is. 'Tis gonna be fun!!! :argue:

I think it's a SIN to leave your boat home when you go to a boat gathering. Especially one that you take a day off for........ What are ya tryin to hurt her feelings or somethin? :frown:

Well, this 1 day outing is a 1300 mile tow(possibly in the rain) for me. I have decided to bring it down in spite of that :smile: Stoker.......
You guys just laid out and ordered a new one??? Bitchin. Let's hear what ya got! :crossx:
Hey congratulations Kevin! What colors? etc. Are you gonna run the motor from the Mirage, or new twins? These Stoker's are cool little hot rods and form a nice balance between speed and affordability. So it will be stern drive vs. outboard at the Cat Attack.... :idea:

[MOBrien]

HP350SC -- 1300 miles to join in the fun??? Didn't know you were that far away.....you're a trooper!
Lookin forward to checkin out your hot rod.

[HP350SC]

Yeah a trooper or an idiot! LOL What ya got for power in the Cheetah?

[stoker2001]

we ordered new 224,almost same colors as one on cover of hot boat mag jan 02.this is the first one al will do with single outboard and will require some changes.wont be that fast,around 75 is all cause it will have green motor (tahoe compliant)merc optimax 225 hp.we did go with $4000.00 optional carbon kevlar layup which will shed alot of weight and be just as strong if not stronger then standard layup.keeping mirage river racer for those smooth water days :wink:

[HP350SC]

That will be a nice boat. I'd like to check out their shop sometime. These hulls pack air right around 70 so hopefully you'll have enough power to get the benefit of that.

[Rock-it man]

Yeah a trooper or an idiot! LOL What ya got for power in the Cheetah?
YA !! Mike bring the boat its the last run of the year, wish I had a bigger prop to use on Keith pretty sure im maxed out around 135 will still have 5-7 lbs boost left that I can't use untill I get a prop. Theres no time to get one and merc is still 3-4 weeks out so when the props come I will have to wait for spring or maybe Indian Summer in Feb up there on the Willimate River will try them before I have them Labbed at the propeller Co in Havasu, I'm getting a Four blade Merc 29x 16.5 and a 31x 16.5 to run first then I can cut down the dia as needed as the 16.25x29 that I have from All Washed Up works very well and should work great on the boat he's building. I expect to get to 150 mph pretty easy using the numbers i'm running now and that WITHOUT JUICE !!!!!

Hey, it's great to hear the drive is holding up and speed is increasing. I started a thread over on offshoreonly to see if anyone has a prop for you. Did John ever tell you guys we were b/s ing on his speeds in the Warlock? :wink: Actually he's probably capable of 140 or so but the water was too calm to work it. That thing is a monster in the rough stuff, and looks so badass with the roosters from the 6's. With the motors at 12lbs. on 110 the acceleration was about as fast as my little boat! See you Thurs. aft.

[MOBrien]

Nothing special....7.4 MPI/Bravo 1 right now. Either gonna re-power in the next year or two to a n/a mid-500's to get this hull workin....or just move on to another ride in a year or two to put me in a higher mph category. She's real reliable though... :notam:
Seriously though.....It's our first boat that we got in March, so we're pretty damn happy with it......for now. :D

[HP350SC]

Nice boat man. I'm hoping the water isn't too big or I'll be sputtering along at 60 :(

[MOBrien]

thanks,
but sputtering at 60? :p .......boy oh boy, you guys are real funny. :yuk:
61's all I've got with <10 gal in 1' chop. Is a new 540 possible for install tomorrow...anyone? Damn, didn't think so..... Guess I'll have to stick with reliability for a while. I'll catch up one of these days....just love being on the water.

[HP350SC]

No disrespect meant. I've been working on the speed deal since 1992. And it feels just the same if not worse when I'm balls out holding on for dear life and somebody blows past me like I'm towing a tuber. :D

[MOBrien]

None taken dude......I'm just a speed freak without a speedy boat. A long as we all safely end up at the same place to share some cold ones....it's all good!
Get the coolers ready!!!

Are we all meeting for breakfast at Orwoods at 8-9:00 Am ????

[Boatmaster]

This event is a come one and come all (fast or not) for a great day of boating and BS. So far it looks like it's going to be in the mid 80s with no wind!!!! Good news is I took the Skater form Disco to Sac and back on Friday and made a few bar stops to let them know we were coming. Skater is on the lift behind Tunnel T's house gassed up and ready to go. RIM there is a Holiday Inn on hwy 4 in Brentwood about 4 miles from the Orwood ramp. Two years old and very safe to leave the boat. I will be getting on the water Thursday at noon with all the Redding boyz if you get down early. Pre party at TT's thursday night (golf cart races at mid-night)!!! ;)

[Sherpa]

weather is going to hold for you guys............. you're looking at mid 80's
temps all week.......... bring sunblock!
shouldn't be many skiers/wakeboarders/lakelice around for your runs.......
--wish I had a fast boat....

....with all the Redding boyz....
...who? If Phil is comming, maybe we should try and get Dean Tog. to show up.. :wink:

[Boatmaster]

No, to bad but Phil's done for the year due to the bass fish! Doug Reed and his brother are coming down and staying at my house either with a 31AO or 28 Sport Cat. Call Dean and get him to show anyway, I would like to see that boat run. Any luck selling the STV, I heard you have been talking to Jim? He will be there on Fridy, I told him to look at your boat in person before saying your asking to much! I ran with him and Paul on Friday coming back from Riverboat.

[HP350SC]

I'm hitting the road early from here, around 5 am to avoid stop and go traffic. Good times ahead! Hey Don mentioned something about some peeps staying o/night on island? Wondering whether to head back Fri. night or?

[Boatmaster]

Hey PPR I know of a Skater just waiting for OR tags for next year :) ! I had Chris (owner of the Island) in the boat all day last friday and he did say it would be ok for people to camp on the Island if needed friday night.

Just a reminder.. this boat is 4- sale and will be there the 15th!

[Rock-it man]

Hey !!! BM Are we all meeting for breakfast ?? Time & location ,will Orwoods be open ??
WE will be staying the night in Stockton as it may be late getting in ,its 6.5 hrs driving from here and another 4.5 hrs for HP350 .Driving over early Fri morning to meet ya all and I can't start the day wothout my steak & eggs !!!! Will there be a kunch stop at one of the marinas ?? I,m trying to bring PPR with me for a ride in the Skater if he buys it you will owe me LUNCH & I pick the place ! hehehe !!!! How long does it take to get to Orwoods from March Ln in Stockton ??
Keep in mind I'm not really ready for keith cause i'll be running with one hand tied behind my back ( prop) but will give it a shot anyway I'm turning way too much RPM with this prop and dont want to hurt the motor after all if I can make the whole day running it will be a first on the delta !!!!!

[Boatmaster]

RIM your 35 miles from Orwood at March lane. I would go to the Holiday Inn in Brentwood if you are not already tied to staying in Stockton, main reason being MUCH MUCH SAFER place to leave the boat. Yes Orwood will be open and serves up a great breakfast. We will be stopping where ever anyone wants to for lunch, but we had figured on Riverboat off the Stockton Channel. After breakfast we were going to head to a beach up around Garlic Brothers. After lunch head back to Chris's and find a good place for radar runs.

[RACER52]

Now that sounds like fun.
The ski beach area in Stockton is a good place for all us to beach and bullshit!!! :argue:
The main channel on a smooth day will be good for speed runs on Friday.
I've done many runs myself there near ski beach. It will be wide open without any skiers and lice :skull:
Also kinda cool to pass the ships in the main channel at 100mph.
makes for a good sound :cool:
RIM=it would be a better stay in Brentwood than Stockton.
HP350= you guys should stay on the island. We'll make a party out of it.
the keg will be floatin by dark :wink:
Racer

[Boatmaster]

I think the strippers will be doing a show at the beach!!!! Oh sorry wrong post. :eek:

[deltarat]

Hey Rock It I would have to agree with Boatmaster on the hotel in Brentwood.
I think for the extra 30 min. it will add to your trip it will be well worth the peice of mind that you will have when you lay down to to sleep. On the flip side you'll like being able to sleep that extra 30 min. on Friday morning and to boot your only 4 miles from the Bloody Mary's. See ya at Breakfast!!

The place I stay there is very safe its back away from I-5 and theres security,besides after I had my truck stolen in Vegas my new one along with the boat is well propected ,if you even get close a little guy jumps out and kicks you A$$,and I get a deal on the rooms as a member of the ??????/ chain won't say exactly where were staying as you never know who's watching this thread ,I can PM you if ya really want to know. I looked at my map and thats a lot of miles to cover boatmaster my fuel take may not last that far.

RIM we don't plan on run WFO everywhere, you should have know problem making that run on a full tank. About the same as running from Obrien Inlet to Jones Valley and back. If you leave Stockton by 7:30 you should make Orwood by 8:15-8:30 for breakfast. Remember Troy and I know all the back routes of our back yard. Should work out just right to put everyone lite on fuel once we get to the Island.!!!! :D

Racer[/QUOTE]
A 25 that can run 135+ I DON'T THINK SO !!!!!! Remember I'm running with one hand tied behind my back !!!!!! Maybe ! and just Maybe !!! Keith can out run me for maybe 10 seconds but then only till I get my Props and then its all over for ya all !!!!!!!! Keith needs to upgrade to a Quad or PSI his OLD SCHOOL motor is out dated these days !!!! hehehe !!! From what i'm hearing from all over the country theres no way a 1471 Blower will outperform a quadrotor. So !!! bring i'm all on boys cause this will be your last chance to say you out ran the ROCKITMAN by next spring I will be dialed in with new props and new power !!!!!!I gave Dennis the go ahead to build the baddest motor you have ever seen for next year and with the Weisman drive I will be on the water all year !!!!! YEE !!! HAW !!!!!! a whole season without breaking !!!!

[Boatmaster]

I hope you aren't the slow poke. Otherwise I'm screwed. We should be a good match in decent water, I'll try and keep up with the quad! I will hit 110 on radar this time. :crossx:

Just keep the BOW !!! down !!!! Have not heard back from PPR yet , it would be great for him to get down the run the Skater BM has and see the Delta !!!
HEY !!!! PPR make the trip !!!!!! Its the last one this year !!!

[MOBrien]

This is gonna be an awesome turnout!!!!! Hey, if I put 110 race gas in my boat can I go 110mph too? :hammerhea :messedup: :(
Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrtt.
See you all Friday!

[Boatmaster]

NO! :p

[Boatmaster]

Because this group is growing at a fast pace we all need to know that there is only enough dock space at Chris's for 10-15 boats and that will be tight. There is a very protected slough that runs behind the island that boats can anchor in and then be shuttled in to the dock. Point being is bring an anchor if you have one and bumpers/ropes.

[NorCalCat]

Anyone know how much the 110 is at Bullfrogs?

[RACER52]

the 110 at bullfrogs is cheap!!!! 3 something
Scratch the dock dealio, We just procured another 60ft of dock and will
possibly be picking up more tonight!!
Boatmaster- I will be in Disco tonight, our ski boat is at Gregs. So come over and fix the damn thing!!
there is a house a few doors down giving away a complete W shaped dock that we might tow to the island.
Racer

[RACER52]

we will need more than 1

[Boatmaster]

R52 I will do my best to get over and look at the Sanger, but I doute it will happen before the weekend seeing as I am ass kissing already for thurday and friday. I may be able to tow a dock over on thursday if needed.

[RACER52]

[MOBrien]

OK, it's all fun-n-games until someone loses a space at the dock.
Oh wait, I'll just double-up on the outside of your boat. :D
3 days baby....just 3 more freeeee-kin days!

[Boatmaster]

R52 any luck with the sanger last night? I have all kinds of ideas if not. I talked with Andrew this morning about what it was going for him and Greg. Sounds like key switch or wiring harness issue.

[RACER52]

Boatmaster=if it turns out to be a key switch I will shit. We replaced the coil last night and still died after 25min run time. It restarts now almost
right away. I'm ready to sink it or trade it in since a dealer trade evaluation would never pick up this problem.
so far replaced the
1.distributer module
2.fuel pump
3.coil
have a fuel pressure guage installed inline and it reads a constant 25-30lbs
and does not drop when it dies.
We said screw it and went to the marina for dinner.
On a brighter note, we should have docks on thursday. And the weather
is gonna be awesome Friday :D :D
Racer

[Boatmaster]

Andrew said it looked like you were loosing keyed power. I have seen the key switch or loose contacts cause your same problem.

[HP350SC]

Racer- Wire a test light to coil positive and drive it. See if you lose power there when it dies. What year/make/sbc? Friend of a friend also has a ski boat same problem, turned out to be ect sensor failing and telling module it was overheated> module shuts motor down. Assuming you have EFI.
About how far are we planning to drive the boats, don't want to buy fuel at marina as I'm bringing my own on truck. Should I bring gas cans on boat?

[HP350SC]

Hey Wayne you should bring your truck tank and stock up on 110 fuel at 3 something a gallon.

[RACER52]

the ect problems sounds like a winner!!
Already found that there isnt any power to coil or distributer when the after
the engine dies. I'll hook a test light up tomorrow night and drive it over to Tunnel T's for some brews. I think I'll throw a new key switch in also.
Is it possible to bypass a sensor(ect) or just replace it?
Racer
Hp350- I would bring gas cans if you are really worried. I dont think anyone will be hurting for gas. We can always make a run back to marina
mid day to your truck if needed.

[Boatmaster]

The 3 something a gallon is at a marina that is water access only. Not sure how much fuel you can carry, but you should be fine if you fill up. After our morning/afternoon run it should leave you nice and lite for radar runs and just enough to get back to the trailer. The marina that sells the 110 is less than one mile from Chris's island anyway! This time tomorrow I will just be getting on the water :wink: .

Just replace it, hell you've spent a lot already :rollside: If that fixes it I'll let you buy some beer.
I'll bring gas cans in case.

OK thanks for information on fuel. This time tomoorow I'll be in Grants Pass with a long ways to go. It will be our turn to host a get together up here next year. When are you guys going to come to the best poker run there is? The Columbia river is virtually endless and very scenic in the gorge area as well.

[RACER52]

I agree, I'll replace it and the beers are on you :cool:

[HP350SC]

Nn no no, I believe it was the hydroscillator that went bad on his.
