Nice Ride Rick!!!!!!!!!! Ok we know it's a Daytona.. So what size 25,26,28? Good for you Rick!! BTW, what's Larry doing to your motor? idea

[XTRM22]

Right on Rick! that is one nice boat and your reworked power plant is gonna happy in it! See ya when you come for the motor, Hooters anyone?
Chuck

[Charley]

Rick....damn! that baby looks to be in nice shape......Is Larry all done? what did he end up doing? were ya pleased?
Nice boat Rick Congrads again :D

[mbrown2]

Sharp boat, and that motor already looks stout.

[Hustler]

Nice boat, was'nt that DMB's boat?

[Craig]

Ricks not allowed to play on the internet at work anymore :D He didn't even know he had the dreaded red X until a few minutes ago!!! 24 Rod, it's a 25. Rick bought it without a motor and is taking the blown 454 out of his Sleek and putting it in the Daytona. Charlie, the shortblock's done. He went down to see Larry for a run on the dyno. 454 w/ 250 blower. Well, after the motor was open up for a look see, he's got new cam, pistons, Brodex heads, seawater pump, blah blah blah :D Welcome to the shop of the Evil Toymaker wink He should end up with at least 700 horsepower on pump gas and reliable.

[FASTERDAMITT]

Nice, but what's that hole in the deck for? Just kiddin. Hope to see ya at the lake!

[Risky Business]

Great looking boat>
I think I saw that same boat at the Magic Powerboats open house on Saturday. It appears to be in great shape. I had a friend with me who will take it off your hands right now. He loved it.

[blown23vee]

F**king red x's!!!
Thanks for all the acolades, you guys!! Very much
appreciated. Yes, Risky, it's the same boat as at
the Magic open house...a friend & I stopped there
after picking up the boat 'cause he was working
the open house. We both ended up working 'till
almost dark before we took off for home with a
quick stop at In & Out!!
I'll keep everyone informed on the motor progress
and like I said, THANKS everyone!!!!!!

[rustyk]

Congrats Rick! Sorry i couldn't sell you mine but looks to me like you got a better deal by looking at that beast. Man that 25 looks large on a triple axle trailer. Why did they put that trailer under it? The rest of 25 to 26's only have twin axles.
Looks great i almost bought one just like it in Clear lake tx for $49k with a 454 with a procharger. 1999 model.
Very nice

Rick Uh oh, looks like Blown25Cat is gettin' some attitude on! Pleasantcat, guess you and I will have to stick to the slow lane while these blower guys ( blow hards? ) have all the fun this year... cry
( just messin with ya Rick! )
:D

[Craig]

:D :D Hey if it ain't blown, it sucks :p

[DogHouse]

Actually, if the engine is blown, it's moving more air through it, therefore sucking even more!
:D

[roln 20s]

Blown23Vee,
That Daytona is bad ass. Can't wait to see it out at pleasant. When is the maiden voyage? I love that trailer, it looks so awesome. Does the back of it have a little drive guard, LED lights, or what? It is extended right? Looks awesome, what do you tow with? Sorry for the 101 questions, but just want to know what I am looking for at the lake. Enjoy it.

:D Well, I'd say since mine is blown, it operates under a postive pressure above atmospheric, while yours, relying on the vacuum developed by the downstroke of the piston alone....therefore sucks :D
Just messin' with ya' Brian! Blown or not, you could easily dust my little boat off any time the waves kick up on the weekend!

[blown23vee]

Hey all you guys!! Thanks again for all the
ata-boys, appreciate it. Just can't wait to get
the motor back in & use the beast!!
Well, Brian! Leave it to you to give us the
"technicalogical" version!! Just jokin!! See
ya soon!!
Hi, Roln! Presently towing with my '97 Tahoe,
9 inch lift, 36" swampers. Color is what Chevy
call "cherry ice" whatever that means. Sort of
a light metalic purple (not as bad as it sounds!)

Roln 20s The trailer is pretty trick...since the picture
it's been powder coated yellow to match the boat,
the steps at the back are custom adds with new
diamond plate. Makes getting people in & out real
easy & makes cleaning easier. On the front there
is a custom ladder up to the open bow. The whole
front triangle of the tongue swings away if you
are trying to park in a garage. Kinda cool.

[roln 20s]

Blown23Vee,
All I can say is: AWESOME. Let us know when you are hitting the lake, I'd love to meet you out there, and I'm sure doghouse, pleasantcat, donnie and maybe even craig will come and chill!

Just messin' with ya' Brian! Blown or not, you could easily dust my little boat off any time the waves kick up on the weekend! Ah yes, but you forget that since the blower is forcing more air through the motor, it is pulling more air into its intake, hence the need for two big carbs instead of just one. Therefore, more sucking!!!
Hey someday we gotta hook up a tow rope to your cat and get my slug up over the century mark!
:D

[pleasantcat]

hey blownboy. purple huh eek! isnt that kinda fem????? hey brian us "natural guys" will just have to enjoy our hours of trouble free running and good fuel usage at only 10-15 mph slower :D then again, i do have that baby blower in the garage still wink but i think ill just keep it the way it is one more season then who knows :D

Blown23vee, very nice ride. Welcome to the Daytona family :D . I think you need to think about a change in your username???

[blown23vee]

Ya think??

[PlayTime]

Nice Gel coat

playdeep:
Is the RED daytona in the above pic the ex Terrible Herbst boat,that WildBillg had at Boat Brokers? Yup, it is. You can barely see where the logo used to be on the boat!

[pleasantcat]

damn craig your awesome!!!! thanks for puting em up there :D

[pleasantcat]

yes it's tim's old boat. damn glad those guys know what there doing when they build toys! :D i've got a non blown bbc and can run 93 gps verified on pump gas :D 85 all day long with a full chest of coolies and my hot girlie eek!

[Craig]

pleasantcat:
and my hot girlie eek! You'll have to prove that with a picture :D

[SCOOTE69]

Awesome boat(Im biased though)! Hey all you daytona guys... Any idea where I can get a boat cover for my 25'? I really dont want to spend close to $1500, which is what Eliminator quoted me for one.
Thanks,
scott

[playdeep]

Pleasantcat,If I am not mistaken Ron Shaver(Shaver Specialties)motor.That guy used to build some serious badass stuff for the outlaw sprint car crowd...
Blown23v,
That new piece of yours is one flat out awesome looking boat(what type of outdrive you running?)
Scoote69,
I talked to a guy yesterday who had a custom cover made for $650.00 for his Daytona.I can give you his number if interested.

[pleasantcat]

yes deep shaver built my engine. he builds the herbst offroad team engines as well as any play toys they have. ron has built some ford plant for one of their offroad projects that made 700 plus ponies with no blower. the amazing part of that is that this motor can do this at high rps for very long periods of time. ron knows his stuff

[pleasantcat]

craig, i'll do ya one better. you'll get to meet her this season and see for yourself. you know me, i cant post pics on here due to my techno deficiancy.

i tried to make one of those pics my avatar from the serndrives area. but, it wont work. further proof that my techno skills are non existant cry

[Craig]

OK, that'll work. You going to make the Havasu trip May 16th weekend?

[DogHouse]

pleasantcat:
craig, i'll do ya one better. you'll get to meet her this season and see for yourself. you know me, i cant post pics on here due to my techno deficiancy. I can vouch for Pleasantcat on this one. I don't know how he did it, but somehow he's managed to attract a young lady who is both beautiful and nice. Hmmm, what DOES she see in him??? Must be that really HOT boat!
:D

[Craig]

Brian, maybe you hit on it, she CAN'T see :D j/k!!!

[blown23vee]

It's not the computer deficiency that prevents
the pics...I fear she may take his life if he
posts pics of her on here!!
Playdeep-just a bravo for now...we'll see--
Thanks again for the welcome all you Daytona
guys, I appreciate it...looking forward to
meeting all of you this season!!

[pleasantcat]

yep she's the only reason i allow her dog on the boat.( seeing eye kind ) i met her along time ago when i was rodeoing and thats that. kinda lucky for me :D
craig i already got the weekend of the 2,3,4 off for the regatta. i'll check and see if i can swing the second trip as well.

[pleasantcat]

anyone see the 27 daytona? whats your opinion :confused: :confused:

[Donnie]

Bill griffin and I were at eliminator on Dec. 31st and saw one of them being rigged...I did'nt like it very much,but then again it was not completed yet either. The front of the boat looked pretty cool,but the back was very weird looking.
Guess I will have to see one completed.

[pleasantcat]

the windshield looks kinda wierd and the engine cover doesnt do anything for me. i dunno, i really love the 33 daytona :D my money tree is dormant right now so.....

[pleasantcat]

sorry for the pic on my postings guys. i popped it off there. i was just so darn happy to see it!!
