New CP 19' Gets Wet

[Slow Burn]

We finally finished the 19' for my dad's retirement present. He deserves 10 more! It took a little longer than expected (14 months) as it was our 1st boat build and we did a majority of the rigging ourselves. The "CP factory" just wasn't willing meet my rigging specs................ With the help of good friends it finally came together. First full test pass GPS'd @93.5. Looking forward to the regatta.
Thanks Wayne Gaskamp, JimGuthrie, SoCalPower, Jack McClure and GS Marine.

Very nice !! :)

[centerhill condor]

what a thoughtful gift for Dad! He must be happy and proud...best of luck!

[pattymelt18]

Cool boat

[poncho-pwr]

Nice job man. A wonderful gift for someone who I'm sure deserves it. I bet he is pretty proud of you too.

[Bense468]

really nice boat. Welcome.

[Slow Burn]

Thanks guys. The look on dads face after the first ride was worth the wait. We're hoping to fine tune it over the next few weekends and eclipse the 100mph mark. I hope to see more of you on the river soon.

[steelcomp]

Wow, that thing's gorgeous. You really did a nice job...should be proud.

[DMOORE]

Beautiful Boat gents. Hard to believe it's your first build. Hope you Dad enjoys it in good health.
Darrell.

[skeeter]

Real nice boat dude...I am sure your father will have a blast.

[poncho-pwr]

Can you tell us more about the motor?

[olbiezer]

how much power do u have in that boat? :)

[Cs19]

Good to see its up and running. Did Guthrie do the engine? Tell us about it.
See you on the water and have fun with the new ride. :)
Chris.

[Slow Burn]

The motor was built by Wayne Gaskamp and is basically a "tuned down" super comp set-up. It's 555 Dart, AFR heads with a single Demon that runs "pump" gas. No button.....yet...
Jim Guthrie helped us with all the motor mounts, brackets and installation. We also had all the aluminum parts chrome plated for looks and cleaning purposes. It was built to play all day at the sandbar and run 100+ with the boys in the evening.

[QuickJet]

The detail on that is amazing. Very nice job!!!

[steelcomp]

Slow Burn, sent you a PM.

[Taylorman]

Got any more close ups of the engine?

[Bradf]

Nice boat man. Very clean. Oh, and one minor detail.. your mother failed to mention im your real father... i expect my boat to be here no later than next weekend! Schaweet! :rollside:

Very nice boat looks very similiar to mine except I have a black pinstrip around the red. Looks very sano hope to see it in person at the regatta.

[LSCP]

Very nice job Slow burn.

Love that interior.
Whats up with the distributor relocation?
We need more pics for sure.
Chris.

[Mike D.]

looks very nice buddy,picture are good but it looks even better in person. Its the perfect boat for the river. When are you going to put the magic button on the wheel, can`t wait until it comes out and plays at night !!! :crossx: see you soon !!

[dmontzsta]

Very nice...that makes retirement all the better! :)

[MikeF]

555......I like it!
Sure it pulls very well! :)

[Slow Burn]

We'll be down at the Quin this weekend doing some testing. I'll post better motor/interior pictures soon. Thanks for all the great comments. S.B.

[GM Killer]

Congrats on the boat! It looks awesome, and nice choice in motors :cool:

[Slow Burn]

GM Killer, thanks for the compliments and I look forward to meeting you at the regatta. Mistakenly, I'm not a big fan of the "F" word. What you see is a front drive distributor. If you look at the second picture from the top, you'll notice where it used to be. I've added this shot to show a little more. See ya soon..

[DK18]

Love the new ride! cant believe I havent seen it run yet. Hopefuuly I see it alot at this ONE AND ONLY CALIFORNIA P. REGATTA/ PT3 thing.
Are you ready to rock the 80's?
You think I should call Bill and let him know what I started? Think he will give up a T-shirt? LOL!

[LSCP]

Slow Burn
What was the advantage of relocating the distributor?

[Slow Burn]

DK, "I'm gonna rock onto electric avenue" you know the rest...can't wait. The entire weekend should be a blast. As for BS, it might be worth a call to get a free shirt(s).
LSCP, it helps assure accurate timing, gives a clean design to the motor and keeps people guessing...I'll post better pictures after this weekend.

Come on now Slow Burn, it's really there so that you don't have to worry about distributor clearance problems whenever you decide to throw the 14-71 huffer and Enderle hat on it!

[Slow Burn]

It also makes it easier to bolt on the "ski tow"........hold on kids.........

[LSCP]

Thats cool, water ski all day, race w/the boys at night.

[WG789]

Come on Slow Burn you can tell us a little bit about the motor you have some infomation I will have some new hardware and shims lets push some more water threw it and see what it will do. :cool:

Listen to the man slow burn . tell us all, I think your motor builder wants some credit. Give him his credit. What kind of power does it make?

[WG789]

Hey Mike,
I can tell you that we made some pulls on Bob Lambeck's Dyno because the motor is in a jet boat we only ran it up to 6200 at 6200 it made 780 hp with 702 foot pounds TQ its a 10.25-1 motor that way they can run pump gas in it I would have liked to run it up to 7600 to see what kind of power it really makes but it did not happen maybe next time see you at the river. And that is with 32 degree's timing total.

what do you figure it will make at that rpm, by the way it sounds good, very nice job. Do you plan on having the boys put nos to it?? seriously very nice piece. Hope to talk more at the river & thanx for your input on my motor,going gear drive this time.

Wayne,nice numbers..Which AFR's did you end up using and why did you choose to run that type of dist. drive?
Chris.

[Oldsquirt]

Front drive distributors.....Are primarly used for firewall cleareance issues in cars. Its ran off a 9mm belt to a pulley on the cam.
The one used in this case does not appear to be that style. Based on the upright position of the distributor in the first and third pics in his first post, I'd say he is using something more along these lines. This style setup has been available for decades, long before the belt-drive style came out. Click pic for bigger version.

Wayne,nice numbers..Which AFR's did you end up using and why did you choose to run that type of dist. drive?
Chris.
Chris, I used the 335 AFR heads for this motor they have a nice intake and a ok exhaust port as far as the front drive goes there is no cam flex from front to back better timing only runing a half shaft in back for the oil pump a buddy of mine made some of these back in the early 70's I had one left so I used it on this motor OLD SCHOOL Plus it keeps everyone guessing. If you are looking for killer heads, BMF bye CFE are BAD good to 8000 and lite.

I told Pop's 800 hp single carb I think it would be close, but the boat is rite at 6000 so we need to get that up a few hundred RPM I will have two new intake grades to try, nos just think 250 horse unit on it might be fun and a easy way to get the extra RRRPMMM. and thanks

Do I see a boat coming in your future. Sounds like you may have the bug, I can tell you that it is very addictive hobbie
Better be careful posting info like that you`ll have people asking you to put together a motor for them

Mike, I have all I can handle right now with two Dragsters will be in Bakersfield next week for a Divison race, buliding my motor for my car right now I have allready made up my mind two more years sell the race car and who knows it's not like I do not have a few motors laying around. ? Hope all the boats show up that are on the list.

780hp@6200 is more like 660 lbs/ft
702 lbs/ft@ 6200 is 829hp.
Reason I noticed is my 467 makes 776@ 6200, and 658 lbs/ft. Near the same hp, no way that tq.
Thanks.

hey wayne my name is josh i saw youre boat at jims a couple of times but never got to meet you just wanted to say thats a very nice piece u got there. :)

Josh, thanks but the boat belongs to a good freind of mine we were at the river for a few days last year siting on the point having a couple of beers and it came down to corvette or boat what would be the most fun with the grandkids, and if I would help build it and do the motor for it the rest is history I am sure they will have a good time. Jim is a great guy he help out a lot hope he shows.

You`ve got the bug!! I`ll talk to you more at the river, once again very nice job, I bet its a large turn out

[steelcomp]

Stroker motorIs that supposed to make a difference?
Tq is measured, HP is calculated from Tq and rpm...has nothing to do with configuration of motor.

[Red Rocket]

Nice power for single carb, but something dosen't add up here...just throwing this out there...
780hp@6200 is more like 660 lbs/ft
702 lbs/ft@ 6200 is 829hp.
Reason I noticed is my 467 makes 776@ 6200, and 658 lbs/ft. Near the same hp, no way that tq.
Thanks.
I have built a couple of single carb pump gas 580 ci motors that were tested at westech that made 800 hp and 780 ft lbs of torque. The larger displacement motors always make more torque. I believe in this thread they said it was 555 ci. That could be were the torque difference between yours and his.

[pattymelt18]

yes it does because larger cid motors slow down piston speed therefore they should make more tq thats why everybody builds a big motor u just dont have to spin them that hard and still make good power.look u can get a smaller displacement motor to make those numbers you would just have to run it alot harder.

[Red Rocket]

My mistake I thought you were saying that those were not possible as peak numbers. I didn't realize you were talking about both those numbers at that specfic RPM.

[Rinduck]

Slow Burn - One of my daughters and I were hanging next to the Aha Ramp on the weekend of the 11th when your dad (grey beard?) put it in the water. The pics don't do it justice. Very nice. The problem is she want's me to trade in the Ultra and pick up a CP.

[steelcomp]

My mistake I thought you were saying that those were not possible as peak numbers. I didn't realize you were talking about both those numbers at that specfic RPM.No worries...I could be mistaken, but that's how I read his post on the dyno results.

[sanger mike]

slow burn, was wondering if you guys had a pic of the alternator mount on the motor plates. thanks
