Notice the turnbuckles spacing. Different on all of them.

I was just noticing that. The important thing is that you have some. The center takes alot of pounding, I've broken them in the past. You could always add a couple right inside the hoses if you end up bustin em. :D

I have a SERIOUS ski race boat question...
On all of these Schiadas the ski tow is pretty tall off the transom. What does the bracketry look like inside? I am thinking even towing a twig like myself, there has to be some support so as not to rip that right off the transom.
Brian
SD, feel free to just read, since your experience towing in a Schiada has got to be pretty limited.

Brian i can take a pic for you when i get home
from work. if you would like.

[Riverkid]

As you can imagine, there is usually a cross stringer brace incorporated into the rudder brace at the base, and then another further up the transom just below the carling. They are rock solid, there's no torque on the deck at all.
Elsinore may be stinky, but you can still run hard there. Where else can you do that (hi speed zone) 15 minutes from the ramp?..

Cool,
I was just interested that a few boats had them, just looked like an accident waiting to happen.
Brian

[Rexone]

Nice bowels Rex,
That is some serious bracketry, I like the quadrant.
Now why don't you run one of your super trick sea strainers?
Brian
Some people are never satisfied....
The boat's going to be redone and sanitized including Superstrainers and several other changes. The strainers in the pic are early 90's vintage.

ok, looks like I need to pull off my external rudder hardware and get it polished - That looks really cool.
Went down today and spent the day detailing the bilge. Motors out for rebuild. Last month was really cold up here in Idaho. Finding a loose freeze plug and water in the oil pan is not good. I drained the water out of the motor last fall, but drained from the water pump, not the lower fittings below the exhaust manifolds. I get the jack ass award. Atleast everything except for the block is good. Once I saw the loose freeze plug, I knew not to fire her without checking the oil.
Depending on where the crack is, sleeving may work, but have to get in and see where the crack is.

[SGettmann]

Hallet - Nice shot! I'm jealous. I should pull my rig down in the spring and park it on the WSU or University of Idaho campuses and claim that I'm from HOT BOAT Magazine, looking for models to hang out on my Schiada in two pieces (it's worth a try). I'll make up free stringy shirts to go with it that says Schiada Racing. I wonder if I could get Lee to sponsor the shirts? Now that's an idea to ponder. I would have to get those photos posted. :idea:

[wsuwrhr]

Let me know if anyone needs me to wipe down the ass in this picture.
Be more than happy to.

Hey Mike, I remember "Crisp & Clean", #300, as a 21' Hallet in the early 80's, things change.
Here is a trivia question, in the early 80's what was the cleanest Ski Race boat running around?
And no, the #800 blue Schiada, while certainely very nice on the eyes was not it?
Have a great day!
JB

[Riverkid]

Do you remember Tom Rossebo's Boat #143? A red 19' Spectra. That was a clean race boat. I wish I could find all the pics of race boats I took in the early 80's...

[JBUSAF]

I don't recall a #143, but there were a bunch of those type running with the Edelbrock/Herbst group in the Desert, Region III I believe.

From the early 80's - let's see if my 0-9 class memory can recall. Sam Moss had some really nice 21' Rayson Crafts, Sunny Tan with his setup, Billy Dunsmore with his 21' Schiada, Billy Way with his #84 Blown 20' Schiada with Zoomies on it. (this boat would launch out of the water and take a light weight skier and clear the water by a foot or so coming out of the hole - no turbo setup could hang with it). My dad's NWSRA #47 boat was pretty cool. An then my favorite, CJ Baker for having his clamp on fly in the wind anytime spectators were around (had to be a hell of a skier to ride behind him, because the boat was always in the air). Then there's the Armoral colored Schiada - Joules Vandenbrauch's. Another newer boat to the circuit, Flying Colors was pretty sweet as well. All child hood memories for me. And don't forget Edelbrock, with his 3 boats and sea plane. I remember clearly at Crazy Horse - 'Vic Edelbrock, please get your sea plane off the course'.
The early 80's had allot of sweet boats out there. The flat bottoms and 19's were starting to be fased out, and the 21's were coming into a class of their own. Schiada's and Rayson Craft's were owning the circuit. The motors were also getting bigger. This was the period where family ski racing was becoming more difficult to maintain it's competitive edge. Sponsors were moving in, and less participation compared to the early 80's. Plus, the speeds were getting up there to the point where wrapped up skiers were getting seriously hurt. The sport is still cool, though it would be better if it could get back to the number of participants that it had during the 80's.

The #300 that preceded the boat I have was a Hallett 19 owned by Bill Blankenship. I observed in it for several years (my back still hurts lol). Then he built the 21 S that I now own. Thinking back to the 80's RT always had nice looking 600 boats, the 800 was nice (observed in that too many years), yes Herbsts and Edelbrocks were always nice too. John Bemmer's Rayson was clean. Not sure which boat you're referring to as there were a lot of them back then.

[Rexone]

Yes Sam Moss's was a clean one too, forgot that one. Mike King actually built that one (and Bemmer's) at Rex Marine, I have a bunch of pics of it somewhere.

[Riverkid]

Post those up Mike! :)

[SGettmann]

Unfortunately, one of Sam's former boats are sitting in the bottom of Nacimiento out in front of Heritage Ranch (they may have got it out). I was working on the docks at the LNR (late 80's - early 90's in high school) when that show happened. Went to the air, came down, bottom of the boat blew out, and went down. That section of the lake gets pretty rough on the weekends. A few people got hurt and one drowned on that deal. Life jackets are a good thing, Lifelines are even better. I heard that there was some dry rot under the floor boards that made the hulls strength questionable. This is why I'm a big fan of open stringer floors.

[Hallett]

Steve i can't wait to see your boat, thats all i will see is the a$$ of
your boat as we are cruising down the lake. tell lee to get her done
it's killing us all. :)

[JBUSAF]

Don't remember if it was #331 or a number close to that, but the boat I got my first race behind at Chula Vista was Tom Papas's Brummet, "Eye of the Tiger", I just remember the entire inside being polished aluminum, including the heads, tranny. Great boat and nice people.
I also remember sitting in Grady Hill's #212 Schiada in his garage and driving him crazy with all of my Ford/Chevy questions.
The good old days!
JB

[Rexone]

I would have to find them to do that. :frown: :(

Chula Vista - now that brings back some memories - complete with the Chula Vista theme song that was played before warm ups. That freak'in water was full of jelly fish. When you're in kindergarden and your observer (Earnie Earl) is loading you up to be thrown overboard in a school of Man-o-Wars, I didn't like it much. (it took a few years to get the mentality that there was a race going on - which came later for the triathlon side of life for me)
Grady Hill, I believe that he lived on Elsinore - I remember going over to his place with my dad when he was doing the installation on his boat.

[JBUSAF]

I also really like the yellow/blue 21 Rayson, I remember it as naturally aspirated and it ran very hard and real clean!
Was Bemmer's Rayson the one with the Numbers done in the island palm tree background?
Real nice

[Rexone]

I don't remember the numbers but it was yellow / blue.

I raced with Grady a couple years too. Gruff as a buzzard but with a heart of gold.

[SGettmann]

Hallett - next time I visit my parents, I'll digitize my parents photo albums - covering the gammit from Catalina, to Chula Vista, to Havasu (Ron Dunkin), to Clear Lake, to Mead, to Mission Bay. Growing up, I ditched school every Friday to go to ski races with my parents. My mom hauled ass and my dad had the boat and horsepower to pull her. Not to mention that Earnie pushed the crap out of her. If you had it to give, Earnie got it out of you.
I'll PM you when I get these done. I know that you're a big buff for getting NWSRA photos.

[JBUSAF]

I think the Blue/Yellow one was the #46, really nice.
No Sheep for me, but if you are interested we pass several big farms on the way to the Missile sites!
The entire Hill gang is great, I have a Ford in my little flatbottem and I "Wish" I had some of the engine parts that John had in the garage, I remember reading about some special aluminum tunnel port heads that Ford built something like 5 sets of and asked Grady if he had ever seen a pair? He said yeah and so have you, had a set painted red on the Schiada motor.

That would be great if you could find them mike.
I am guessing they are sitting on top of, or underneath the REX catalogs.
