Mr. Griggs will be taking his first river trip of the year this weekend (better late than never!).
A few of his friends got together and thrashed until she purred like a kitten this afternoon at lake puddingstone. Congrats bro and i'll see you and the wife at BR this weekend!

thanks guys
its a great feeling to finally get 'er done and get 'er wet for the first time this year, but i could not have done it without the help of my "LOYAL" family of friends:
Dave "THE SUPER ONE" Bottomley, of SWEET performance products of Anaheim Ca. (714-502-9322)
the plumbing looks "STELLAR" ive gotten nothing but compliments about your work, and for that i thank you!
cyclone (Mike Finnegan) bro! you have helped me out in so many ways (NOT ONLY ON THE BOAT PROJ.) i owe you BIG time! so get those flares off of your truck already! lol thanks bro! if anyone ever has any questions about jet boats,... ive personaly learned more from mike than i care to remember! lol
thanks again!
to a close friend of mine, Carlos Gomez (Not on the boards) Submission Engines of Walnut Ca. (626-824-5103) This guy has the knowlege and skills to produce some quality performance engines and took the time out of his busy schedule to teach me about the motor we built! for this task i also owe him plenty of praise! i suggest if you are in the market for a rebuild or a complete new engine replace!... call carlos he'll treat you right!
victorfb (hop-a-long) lol sorry bro but i could not pass it up! lol
vic and i have spent quite a few long evenings in my garage helping me out with the decisions of how i wanted to go with the proj.
vic also is one hell of a fabricator, and helped me out considerably with some of the components in the boat as well such as a complete Rail kit and the new place diverter mount....vic!... thank you much pal!
Mike Flannegan (mikef) this guy has some class! now im not the most intellegent in the world of engines and pumps, but im learning, and mike has enlightened me on about 90% of what i thought i knew about boating and what makes a jet work most efficiently! although he's a bit on the quiet side, he has a shitpot of stuff going on up in that head of his, and im glad he taken the time to (TRY) explaine to me just some of the questions ive had!
thanks mike, your a good friend!
river dave, (The master machinist) thank you for all of the billett, you came through when i needed help and direction! thanks bro!
yo my NI**A from ova da hill! BGMAN203 man do i even need to say anything?
you know where you are bruvva! lol
i know there are quite a few more of you guys that i may have forgot, but i promise that i'll get ya a beer this weekend!
thanks Todd
P.S.
i forgot to thank that "SCHMUCK" todd over there at TRG......(OK...that's WAY GAY!)

the boat is done!
Now thats a good one, Im finally starting to realize that boats are never "done" they ALWAYS need something and more money thrown at them, ya know,kinda like our girlfriends/wife.
Ok, so how fast is this thing gonna be? I think I see some NOS sheit on there too. :notam:
Ive already got my handsfull with another Rogers, all I need is another one to worry about, especially matching ones!
Hey Todd, get a friggin haircut. :D

Todd,
Look sharpe, that looks like it might run real good too!!!!
I have not touched the Sanger in days.All the changer over parts are one the bench waiting. Pump is all done except for the gaskets being installed. But all the hard work is done. All I have to do is assemble it. And that is the easy part. I have had to take care of my customers. I hate leif springs. Building custom packs is getting old. The fordge is too hot and the water is calling. I just did a set of I beams for a little Ranger what a pain in the ass. I am sure glad I like the finished products that I produse. Do you want a custom pac to lift your trailer, we can go 4" ??? Have fun at the river. I am working insead.

Hey todd, how do you have your n2o set up? You running a seperate fuel pump and regulator or just one pump. Got any other pictures of the motor? Also, what kind of intake is that?

10-07-2004, 01:44 PM
thank you for the compliments guys!
the boat is actually finished meaning it is now how i wanted it to be the first time i restored it! but i do have some last min. shizzle to get finished, such as the fender well covers and some little wiring issues, but most of all she's together and floats! as for the comments on how she runs...we'll lett just say,...it definitly pulls much harder out of the hole than she did before, as for the other stuff,...was'nt able to get going to fast inside of the bouys! lol
i did not have my CF#'s so they would only allow me to do a float test!
as for the set-up on the pump, who knows??? it was installed exactly where it was last season.
the nitrous is only a mock set-up i have not been able to install everything because i want to get used to the new power and pump combination...
this weekend will be a cruising weekend for me! get my swimming dougnuts back on correctly! lol
rich, the tanks ended up working out great for me, just had to do some work on the fills! thanks!

taylorman, i dont have any other pics as of yet but i'll try to get some fo ya!
also the intake is a dart(same as a victor jr.) i had to find a 2"spacer because the throttle linkage was interfearing with the N2o lines!

Mark B (dutch treat), who helped me out through the whole process - grinding, laminating and messing with that seagoing putty - thanks for your valuable time.
P.S. I need some skate wheels Mark!!LOL
