278lb 19 TPR Shadow

[ULTRA28]

Here is the latest 19 out of the mold. It is all carbon fiber/resin infused/foam cored. It came in at 278lbs complete with stringers and bulkheads. What is really different is the fact that is not a flexi flyer. This boat is solid. Should be intersting to see what it will do this year at the drags.

OMG I weigh more than the boat:jawdrop:

[Hfmnhoe]

i think i'll cancel my boat, can you build me a shadow out of
carbon fiber:idea: very nice:supp:

[bigq]

Very nice! What's the average weight of a standard layup?

[ULTRA28]

Very nice! What's the average weight of a standard layup?
A normal river lay up would be about 700 lbs. A normal hand laid fibergalss race lay up can get as low as 300 to 350 lbs, but would be very flimsy and weak. An infused fiberglass race lay up would be 450 lbs, but stiff and strong. We wanted the boat to be under 350 and stiff. We are more than happy with the results. Mike Miller will be racing this boat this year at the drags.

Just wanted to say that came out SSSIIIICCCKKKK!!!! :)
You should consider doing a big 27, with that look on the outside!

John,
Thanks for providing all of us with some specifics.
I agree with RD. A 26 or 27 Shadow with that look would be exceptional.

HOLY ****. That thing is AWESOME.
What power?

[ULTRA28]

HOLY ****. That thing is AWESOME.
What power?
530 inch, 1200hp just on the engine. 1500hp with nitrous. The boat should do 135 on the engine and hopefully get over 140 on the bottle.

[LAFD]

talk about badasss that came out bitchen. bet that would cost a pretty penny.

[cyclone]

that is the sickest thing i've ever seen. can't even imagine the half track times that thing will turn once mike gets it dialed in. the holeshot should be insane.
nice work:) !!!

[blue wonder]

hey mike that boat is beautiful...any idea when it will see water????...looking forward to seeing it run!!!!

[Red Rocket]

I hope to finish it this summer in time for the second half of the NJBA season.

[Dan Lorenze]

Great job, hull looks awesome.

[Cs19]

Bad ass boat guys! I cant wait to put the hurt on this thing in UBFJ. :D

[Red Rocket]

Bad ass boat guys! I cant wait to put the hurt on this thing in UBFJ. :D
I'm looking forward to that match up myself. We could make a little wager on it, I would enjoy some more money from Red Cup Racing.:D :D

[LOWRIVER2]

Nice pistol there Mike,
Good luck with it, like you'll need any. Bottle Rocket II?
Two bad ass Ultras? Just not fair/lol. There has to be a Hot Boat mag spread on both your boats, and throw John's in for good measure.
Title:
19-23 jets: Ultra has it covered

[Cs19]

I'm looking forward to that match up myself. We could make a little wager on it, I would enjoy some more money from Red Cup Racing.:D :D
Ill take a bottle vs. motor race even though Ill get sawed off..... Or we could race to see whos ride is on the water first?

[tamalewagon]

Great looking rocket John!

[Red Rocket]

I think I stand a much better chance at a motor vs. bottle match-up.

[TRG]

That is a very nice ultra!...when ya gonna start capping that thing????

[396_WAYS_TO_SPIT]

wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fukking insane to say the least!!!!!!!!!!!
Huge props to ultra for not forgetting about us "lil boaters". Im glad to see that you guys still crank out the 19's along with your huge 28+ footer bling bling rides;)

[dumbandyoung]

Thats so sick. Does that way less than the Texas Tunnel?:confused:

[DUNDUN]

that thing is basically a kite! cant wait to see it on the water..
props...

[Hustler]

[Taylorman]

Sure would be nice to see some progress pic's. Whats his plans for it?

[Johnwithjm]

Sure would be nice to see some progress pic's. Whats his plans for it?He is on the boards here so I will let him tell you.

[sofa king smooth]

I've been working on the bottom for Mike so its at my shop.:D

[Red Rocket]

Hey, can you get to work on it so I can get it out of there. I would really like to get back to work on it.:)

[Johnwithjm]

I've been working on the bottom for Mike so its at my shop.:D
LOL:D

[sofa king smooth]

Flippin it tomorrow so call me and let me know what you want to do. I think your going to like the keel i put on it.:idea: After talking to some of the other people in ubfj we decided a reverse hook would suit you best.:D Have to even the playing field somehow.
Call me in the morning and let me know what you want to do.

[cyclone]

i have great news for you Mike. While your boat was at Sofa's, I talked him into adding one of my custom self-ejecting, dimpled ride plates. I know you are concerned about all the competition in UBFJ so i figured i'd help ya out with some top secret parts. you can thank me later. :D

[Cs19]

Sofa and myself just got done putting the finishing touches on the bottom for ya over a case of beer. Its dialed in, come get it.

[Red Rocket]

I have just been waiting for the call to come get it. I'm sure you guys did an awesome job.:sqeyes:

[FuelInMyVeins82]

They even threw the cans in the front of the boat so when you flip it sounds like a slot machine hit the jack pot. Just ask Chris he can tell ya what it sounds like =)

[396_WAYS_TO_SPIT]

alright guys, where are the damn pics;) Im getting anxious:D

[scooooter7]

New pics please...

[Red Rocket]

The intake is in and the bottom is done, other than that not much to see yet. I will put up some pics when there is something more to see. I hope to start making better progress later this month.

[Bense468]

The boat came out nice. Is it just me, the picture, or does the floor look wavy.

[Hustler]

It must be the shakes your still dealing with:D

[ULTRA28]

It's the overlap on the carbon fiber. It is way more noticable in that picture than in person.

[Bense468]

Its probably the shakes for sure.
Thanks John

[FuelInMyVeins82]

Mike, hows it coming?

[Red Rocket]

I've got parts coming, but the rails, motor plates, pump brace and a few other parts are made. I should be getting somewhere towards the end of the month. Get that thing tuned up for Labor Day Jordan!

[FuelInMyVeins82]

Nice I cant wait to see it run.
As for my deal we've made a few changes and its starting to come around.

[Mrs.Racer277]

WOW! I guess I need to get out of the Sandbar every now and again :rolleyes: :)
Congrats Mike
I hope to see it at the races soon. :) :)

[holorinhal]

When are we going to see some pics of this awesome ride?....Hal
