Thanks,
Its a rush just sittin in the seat "gettin religion"
Definitely different from the jetboat.
I am liking it.

[Cs19]

Congratulations!!
What are you goals for the boat?

[flat broke]

Congratulations!!
What are you goals for the boat?
I heard he was going to make it just fast enough to beat any 496ci, pump gas, dual carb, 19' daytona that might show up at FC3 :D
Actually I don't know shiiiiiit, and this is the first I've heard of him finally going both ways. Nice looking project Brian, you going Mopar in that as well?

Thanks Chris.
I am keeping both boats, so don't think I am going anywhere.
It will have a Dodge in it as well. I have something aluminum brewing.

I heard once you go flat, you never go back. :D Looks sick, cant wait to see more pics.

[waterwitch]

Congrats Brain!!!!
Glad to see you stepped up
to the right side!! :D :D :D
How fun to keep both boats!
Can't wait to see more pics, the paint
looks wilder then ours.
Have fun in it Brain, you may want to start
wearing your lifejacket now!! :D :D

"I want to go 80-90, we'll see after that."
If that's all you want, you could do that in a jet with dual seats and someone in the other seat. (94 mph) Maybe a bit less maintenance. With a KB AL engine you could do 100+ with a stereo, pax and full interior including blender, if you're crazy enough to do that and your passenger is too. So, why was it you went prop? Just curious.
We met twice, I think you're cool and this doesn't have to do with that. I just think some jetters with a low-powered and dogged out jet drive get sucked into a single purpose prop thinking way more performance, then the prop guys say, "See that, you got religion" Excuse me? Put that Aluminum block in a high performance jet and see what happens.
My jet does 100 mph with an iron block and full interior including a rather heavy stereo...just me driving. Wonder what it would do with stripped interior, light-weight seats, small tanks, no carpet and no tunes...with an aluminum block no less?
jer

[Floored]

the reason I bought a jet was purely from a safety standpiont, I'm a "DAD" and "GRANDPA" and needed a safe family boat. True it is fun as all get out but my first real boat I drove was a Flatty and I still drool when I see one. I am finishing a couple of projects to make room for and have cash to pick up a flatty to go with my Biesemeyer jet.

No offence taken Jer, and don't take offence to me,
Your boat is a tunnel if I remember correctly, very well setup, and nicely done I might add.
I always appreciate your posts, attention to detail, and depth of thought.
My choice has to do with wanting a different hotrod. Plain and simple. A V-drive is a completely different animal. I have no doubts a man of your stature has driven one and can tell the difference.
There is nothing wrong with fast jets, slow jets, and dogged out jet drives. I will be at all the ***boat events that I can make this year in either boat, or both, if I can swing it.
If you never noticed, my very small company comparatively speaking sponsors a few events every year.
This ain't about v-drives are faster or slower than jets, just different.
CA'MONNNN

Jer,
What I get out of this post:
This will be the second v-drive I have piloted, and the fourth v-drive I have ridden in.
I went 75 on GPS with the first v-drive I pedaled, I felt that was at the threshhold of getting hurt if you got out of shape.
I have no intention of putting other peoples', as well as my own life, at serious risk if I were to jump in with both feet. Noone, other than my wife, or my mom(go figure) is scared to ride with me if I ask them to go to the river, I will keep it that way.
So I ask you to "read between the lines" as to what I was really saying. I think it is good enough for a first timer. Wouldn't you agree?
Brian

[LVjetboy]

"My choice has to do with wanting a different hotrod. Plain and simple. A V-drive is a completely different animal. "
I just don't understand the part about wanting a different hotrod. Comparing a low-performance jet (no disrespect intended) to a moderate to above performance v isn't a valid comparison. Sure v's are different animals, but comparing apples to apples not necessarily a better animal. All things considered. If you split your resources between the two how much can you dedicate to your performance thrill no matter the plateform?
Have you driven a 100 mph jet?
"Your boat is a tunnel if I remember"
Yes. Sometimes considered a mod-v and not a true tunnel.
"I went 75 on GPS with the first v-drive I pedaled, I felt that was at the threshhold of getting hurt if you got out of shape."
I suppose that depends on the hull. At 75 mph, with light to moderate chop (not rollers) my PlaceCraft jet doesn't feel on the threshold of anything...it's stable. 80-90 in smooth to light chop...stable. 95-100 mph ok in the smooth...not planing on going there with other conditions. Picked up a light porpose above 95...probably setup related.
My point is, some hulls may feel on the threshold at 75 no matter the drive type, and give you the same thrill as a different hull or drive type does at a stable 85. Combine that hull's stability thrill factor with a speed you're not used to seeing in a low-performance jet and an instant convert to thrill of whatever drive got you 75?
I'm just saying, maybe a tunnel jet could get you the same thrill factor as a flat bottom v but at a higher speed and with more lake boat ability?
"This ain't about v-drives are faster or slower than jets, just different."
True, but there's a thread going on about that and maybe I just interpreted this thread in that light. If so, please disregard.

In that light your posted goal of 80-90 is plenty fast maybe even overkill if based on speed w/pax.

Hey Spock....Capt. Kirk here....we humans sometimes do things just because we like to. We buy things just because we like the way they look. We listen to music just because we like how it sounds. These things called boats that we humans play with are completely recreational and owning one is purely emotional, so there isn't really a need for your kind of "logical explaination" to decide weather or not a boat is or isn't the right one to reach a certain goal. It's purely for fun, Spock. I'm sure given your lack of human emotion it's hard for you to understand that there are certain things that stir us inside as humans, and a logical explaination is often the last thing in the decision making process since, if one was to be completely logical, one would probably never make such a decision as to buy one of these things in the first place!.

Have you driven a 100 mph jet?
I have not driven ANY boat at 100 MPH. I have been way beyond that on two and four wheels.
I realize my jet doesn't set the world on fire, and there was a reason for that actually. Right about the time the motor was going into the boat I met my wife. If you have seen my website, there was a completely different combination resting between the stringers at one time. I could tell it wouldn't be fun for US, so I put together something else I thought would be more suited. Garage parts I had laying around, really, I bought bearings and a better set of heads. Embarassingly enough I did a "top fuel hone" as GM Killer would say, and off I went. The pistons are the original cast deals from 1970, 320,000 miles on them, I "whistled" the motor when I put it together, 8.8:1. I figured later on I would add more compression and be done with it.
When I drove the jet the first time, I KNEW that I wouldn't be happy with it.

Maybe you're right about that, and maybe not. Speed on the water is very deceptive, but my feeling, at that point, regardless of hull, drive, or whatever other variables may exist, 75 MPH is 75 MPH, in a car, bike, boat, street louge(sp), skateboard, or roller skates, if something happens, everything that can go wrong happens faster and you have less time to correct a mistake.
"This ain't about v-drives are faster or slower than jets, just different."
True, but there's a thread going on about that and maybe I just interpreted this thread in that light. If so, please disregard.
This isn't the thread, and now I own two boats.

jer[/QUOTE]
The difference is, the v-drive is MY boat, the Anthony is OUR boat.
Christie stated before we got married that she would never ride on the motorcycle. She didn't like Keith's boat(the v'drive) much either. Unfortunately, I seriously doubt she will ride in the Hondo.
The Hondo sprint hull is capable beyond the 100's, and I am sure the power I put to it will be capable of that.
I plan to make a pass or two at Ming this year.
As usual Jer, I appreciate your posts and your thought-out ideas, which is why I take the time to explain.

brian, I was just looking back at the pictures,very nice,lots of personal touches you can do,its in a really good state!!!,but I noticed something really important and I DO hope you plan on installing one,(PROP SHAFT RELEASE),even though your only goin 80 to 90, its very necessary,don,t forget to " mag your rudder and have the shaft checked,prop too,just a reminder :smile: NICE BOAT MR.

Thanks for the ideas and compliments, the boat is in pretty good shape, and just the way I wanted it. A floater, no power. Perfect for my Dodge.
:supp: :supp:
I already talked to Tom at Menkins, the shaft is too cheap not to replace, and he will add a prop release for me.
A buddy has a crank grinding business, he already told me that rudder will be magged before use.

Really not to take anything away from my Anthony jet, according to the horsepower charts, my motor is making 400HP. Not bad for what it is.
There is more left in both the motor and the jet.

I thought I should add to what I already posted.
I have most of what I need for the "original" motor. So basically I have only been looking for a suitable hull to put it in.
I agree that having too many toys is hard, but that has been a "problem" of mine forever. Too may irons in the fire.
Brian

[roostwear]

I'm trying to figure out what "too many toys" is. So far, I have concluded that there is no such thing, but I'm not anywhere near the scale of many of the toy brokers on this board.
If it were me, I wouldn't bother justifying to anyone (well, except maybe the wife) why I have what I have. Maybe it's because I look in the garage and realize I couldn't...... :D F 'em

The previous owner said 18s are in it already, apparently I have a 12 degree also, I don't know if that is good or bad. I am thinking a 10 is more common. Cav plate hardware will be all new and billet ;) ;)

Brian A 12 degree box is ok your just going to be kind of limited on strut degree.but its obviously worked for some one and you said 80to90 maybe 100,you should be fine in having a boat that will behave,18,s are a good all around gear,600 to 750 maybe 800 HP will carry that nose just fine so I would,nt worry too much about gear or strut degree,"your not racing prof. are you?,if so then you might consider ,otherwise run it like you stole it C,MON.just remember things like up plate stop on bar,plenty of spring pressure,safety collars on EVERYTHING!!!By the way 750 to800 HP is frickin narly in a boat like that,I,m runnin a little over 80 with a boat MUCH heavier than yours and only pumpin out 500to 540 with one carb so you may be runnin much fasterwith 600to 700ponys.don,t forget your 35" innertube under yuor bow!!!cheap insurance.you will deffinately improve your driving skills to say the least,just take it easy for a good while,EVERY boat is defferent even if there the same make style model 10-4!!!settin a flat, theres nothin like it!!!! :D :D :D P.S it prob. has a 10 or9 degree strut in it,I,d say 9 by where the box sits,good set up!!!

[V-DRIVE VIDEO]

D is right, that boat has a 9 degree shaft angle. A 12 degree v-drive will be angled slightly and a 10 being straight up. If the shaft angle was 12 the v-drive would be back farther. Your bow is probably foam filled.

"I could tell it wouldn't be fun for US, so I put together something else I thought would be more suited...the v-drive is MY boat, the Anthony is OUR boat."
Copy. My ex said 76 mph was fast enough and made an issue of it. Speed is my hobby and passion...I couldn't compromise with the Dragn. I kept the boat, she got 1/2 of everything else. Now Karen (my wife) is a bit more of a thrill seeker and enjoys speed to a point. She's cool and been into the 90's several times. Likes to win too. Still, she prefers cruising so like you and yours, we compromised with two boats. The other boat can't be mentioned in this forum. :)
Maybe women will never have the same passion for speed as us. Give and take is good. The thing is compromise or no, if you do reach 100+ in your rocket, that doesn't mean you gotta do that with pax or in all conditions or push the thrill limit. The potential's still there and acceleration to a safe speed (for conditions) proves it. It is the pros and cons of your rocket we're talking about...not the cruiser?

My '74 hondo had a 12 degree v drive and a good ol' "007" strut in it (long live Ray). And when I checked it it was 7 degrees on the button.I thought the degree was too steep to run a less than 9 (from what I was toldnot by my own experiance),Istand corrected and I would listen to superdave before myself 10-4!!!I have a 12 degree box and a 10 degree strut,but my box sits way back(84") off my transom,So iffin your lookin to set it up with a less than 9, then super dave is your man!!still a 9 is good enough less your goin roundy round,(I think not sure on that either,lotsa info out there 10-4.) hey superdave ,are you the one with the bitchin bearing pullers?if so I would like to aquire one :)

[superdave013]

Oh i'm not the man, that's just what that boat had. Was like it when I bought it and sold it.
Yeah, I make the bearing pullers. I'm out of them but am making some of them right now. I think Rex Marine has one left so if ya don't want to wait on me that's the place to get one.

Hey roosterman ,I,m doin good ,just trying to stay dry like the rest of the west coast!!!!waiting for the danm river to come up,all this water and I can,t boat on it !!! the madness :rollside: its like dangling a donut in front of a cop.well soon enough I suppose,talk to ya soon brotha,hang loose
