Rattle Can GN Update

[Rattle Can Lou]

The boat is ready for Polyester Primer. This product is like bondo in a gun. It is catalysed and hardens like a rock but is a good high solid build. I will show you the after photos tomorrow. This boat was as wavy as my ex-mother in laws ass. It was gel coated three times. We took off a ton of gel to get the boat failry flat. Should give us a real good base to block on. Apparently the guy who gelled it is in prson now. I guess he worked at Rayson. He should be in jail for this gel job period.

Maxi says he's gonna man up and put a GN 305 bullet in that thing for me. Actually it gets 605 inches of ball busting Chebrolet. Got a new Dart block with Brodix 2X Extras CNC'd heads with a Sonny's intake with a Dominator on pump gas. My other brother Lou is buying the motor. This fat bastard can't afford a sick ***** a bean sammich. Anyway, the motor builder says the bullett otta put out about 800 ground poundin, axle breakin, ear twistin, gut wrenchin, ball splittin Horsepower. Just enough for my drivers to go to the front in the Parker 300. Can't Wait for Burley...so we can drink and be somebody. Right Maxi?????

On another note, do you think Lou could pass for Grich's Dad? :D

If less is better, than even more is Best! My theory is "if less is more, just think how much more "MORE" would be.

I wasn't trying to put him in his place, I was just accepting that I have a bunch of screws loose, as opposed to owners that still have enough sense to not get in the car (or boat in his case).
Then again it does take anatomy to drive this stuff.

Maxi your asking RCL way to many technical questions about his ride (what degree v-drive is in that piece of shiat). He just figured out the difference between a spray can and a paint gun. Looks like the shop is real busy with all of his personal stuff....Race cars & and wanna be GN boat. How many guys do you have working on that sled Lou?.

[MAXIMUS]

[QUOTE=Rattle Can Lou;2579445]Maxi and Sammons I posted the strut and fin placement and hope for positive feedback....
I am positive that those are the #'s you measured!:) Looks good!:) Dave do you concure?:)
I can measure mine & get back to you. Check the strut angle to the bottom of the boat as well. Then go get yourself a double chile cheese burger with some onion rings & an xlg diet coke. :)

I dunno Ben, judging by the pictures, measurements, the apparent angle of that strut and spelling I'm pretty sure Ol' Rattle Can must've been dippin' into his BARRELL :confused: of STOLI and turned his MASTERCRAFT over instead of the RAYSON!!!:confused: :confused: :confused:

NICE!!!!!! I try to do something right and I'm told to go get a dick reduction in length and maybe pick up some Cheeseburgers. You guys are fricken amazing. I call Maxi yesterday for some info and he would'nt stop laughing when I told him Sammons was helping me. I call Billy about a nice yellow and he asked me what's available in Krylon....then laughs until he pukes. I call Rankin for the help I couldn't get outta Maxi and he laughs till he hangs up. Everybody gets on here and throbs about all the help they get and how wonderful all you people are...I call Bull$hit on all of it. I can't help it if I flipped the MasterCraft over instead of the Rayson....it was late and I had a few pops with the boys...I grabbed the wrong fricken boat...get over it!

[gn7]

the number one speed secert here is that it's yellow, they just seem to be faster

Unless your pick-up needs an engine that spare is worthless!! My .02 cents ,we are all racing with 30 year old design hulls and engines, the stuff was OK then and is shit now.

[Rattle Can Lou]

OK Guys and Gals...ya wanted updates and pictures. After extensive search and several conversations with the GN Guru's....no not Pineapple, we came to the conclusion that all the underwater gear is wrong and misplaced. GREAT....I love throwing shiat away. SO away we go on filling holes and making it strong again. Ordered all new stuff from Bergeron and we will use all drop thru stuff. The bottom has been blocked with a long board and is ready for graphite after install of gear...

We have continued our quest to make this the fastest GN in Boise...LOlOlol. We weren't sure we would have to fill the shaft hole in the bottom, but after presicion measurements....well some loose calculations, we discovered that we would indeed need to fill the shaft hole. Here are some pics.

I know some of this seems redundant, but what I'm trying to show you is that it is not that hard. This process could be done in anybody's garage with minimal cost. The underwater gear obviously is the biggest expense. If you have any questions...please feel free.

Good ole lou looking for hand outs :D Lou I will be asking you questions - I'm going to make the fastest Gn boat in UKiah - since there are no gn boats up here . Even I should be able to accomplish this :) ps Scotty wanted to know when your picking up that 17 foot aqua craft

Interesting post for 4:30 AM!
that's the time he gets home from his "alternative" life.

[Rattle Can Lou]

I see that I have made myself unable to be taken seriously. I am in the process of building what might arguably be the fastest GN known to man. (somewhere around 155 mph) I have worked hard to attract some of the best minds in the business. Just some of the names...Jim Anderson, Roman1, Mouzer, Yoghurt, the Nutt bros, Kim Hanson, just to name a few. Then you ass clowns get on here and make a mockery of my "how to" project. I was asked to post pics and keep people informed on how "Project 155" is coming. I would appreciate a little proffesional courtesy, if you will. I know I have created quite a stir with this little diddy. Some of the names that have been calling with great interest....Sammons, Maximus, Rankin, Scarlatta, Billy Burgendorfernoggin, Davey B,. Dossangers, Waldrip, Gordy, and the list goes on. If I can now get back to business, I will post some more pics later this afternoon.
RCL, just wantin to be taken seriously.

[rrrr]

RCL, just wantin to be taken seriously.
This from a guy that leaves ass cheek prints on a canopy......:crossx: :D

[Rattle Can Lou]

OK, Is everybody ready to get back to business at hand? I thought so... As you can see by the photo's the bottom has been "precision gound to tolerance" or to the commoner..."blueprinted" if you will. All low spots have been filled and the bottom finely massaged with 180 grit paper on a 36" flat board. The hair piece, (toupe) or sewage waste, whickever you prefer, has been removed from the strut area. The bottom is now ready for a coat of catalyzed primer. This is done to seal the open gel coat. After we mount the underwater gear we will then coat with Speedcoat.

[Rattle Can Lou]

Hello all you onlookers...It's time to get back on the GN boat. We pulled it in the shop and flipped it back over. I decided to finish the inside with gelcoat and Flow Coat. We discoverd some areas that need attention prior to gel. First off is finishing the strut area and finishing that off along with the shaft log area.

We found some delam and wood rot around some nuts that had been glassed into the floor for gas tank mounts. We ground them down and we are running a fan in the area to dry the wood out before we repair them. We are also filling all the holes in the stringers and I will show you how we are gonna do that..

Hey RCL,
You have been a good sport in the past and some don't know how to seperate the fun away from the serious project stuff. I am working on an Aquacraft Shark and if the measurements dont stack up this is a good how-to that will help me a lot. What material did you fill the strut and shaft hole areas with?

Next up is filling all the holes in the stringers. Stringers are in really good shape but we are changing the whole basic set-up of this boat. I think its important that the dowels fit real tight in the holes. Some might not agree but we drilled the existing holes to a little smaller than 1/2". Bought 1/2" hardwood dowels and used carpenters glue to hold them solid. You can buy 3/8" dowels but they were sloppy in the holes. Next we will grind them off and glass over them. We are kind of in a holding pattern on further work untill we can get the moisture to stop seeping from the holes in the shaft log area. We are running a fan in the boat 24/7 until we know that we have the boat 100% dry.

I would drill MORE holes in the thing so it can breath / evaporate better...

[Schiada76]

Maybe we can all chip in and buy Lou a new hammer handle?

[Lefty]

To help dry the holes you also could put some rubbing alcohol or maybe acetone. Looks good

Hey RCL,
I am getting ready to fill the shaft hole and everything else but the rudder hole in the bottom of my Aquacraft Shark. My thought is to grind and sand the the floor area around the skeg, shaft and strut areas. Then glass over the holes with cloth and laminating resin. Then flip the boat and fill these areas with mat and resin and a mat patch over each area. Let dry completely and sand smooth. Am I on the right track? Where do I find the primer you used on the GN? As far as I can tell the bottom of my boat has never been touched till now. The seam along the keel is still very visible.
Thanks for any advice,
Kurt

[Rattle Can Lou]

OK students, today we are grinding off the dowels and glassing over them. This is pretty self explanatory with pictures. Make sure you have ground yourself enough of an indent that you have room for the glass. We used 3" cloth tape and put two layers on it. We still have moisture coming up from one hole. So we did not glass the shaft log area yet. We filled the strut bolt holes with EZ 100. This is the same two part compound that we glued the sideboards in the Riviera boat. Very good stuff and can be used for lots of different applications. After the EZ dries we will glass over it with Fiberglass mat.

Why do you prefer cloth over matt in this situation, Lou?
For holes like this, I've always used a mixture of course saw dust and resin, mixed as dry as possible. Did you chose dowels to save weight?
I love tech threads. You never know when you might learn something. :cool:

Tonk..you are on the right track. To fill a hole you can do two things. Take resin and mix in fiberglass mat that is shredded. Or take dura glass (fibergalss bondo) mix in some resin to thin it out and then mix the shredded mat in also. Make a paste that is thick and full of substance. Shove it in the hole and make sure you have no air pockets. Then grind that off when it hardens and put two good layers of mat only over that. Top and bottom. That should do it..

Tom, I just used dowels because it seemed the easiest. I had the cloth and to be totally honest the mat probably would have been better. But in this particular case the stringers are getting the full wrap of aluminum. Dave Sammons and I decided that would be the best case as we want to run the 300 with it. He feels that if we tie the entire install together we will have a stronger boat. If you were just using the usual stringer washers then I would use mat....good question. I would also say that if you were using any kind of aluminum backing plates on the outside of the stringers then the cloth is more than adequate...

When are you going to finish this thing? I was looking for ride in this year's enduro you have 2 weeks why not step it up and bring it out

If I knew you wanted to drive it, I would have had it done...I just finished watching what you did to Grich at the beach with the GN 9 boat. You are the man. I thought I was stuck with a couple of hacks. Yeah Sammons and my brother wanted to drive so I lost my motivation...hell, if I only knew that a legend wanted in my boat, The only thing that would have been better is if I could of had Gordy...that would have been it...DONE!

[vdriver4ever]

Hey Mr. Sammons are you taking note on what my bro is saying about us?

[Dave Sammons]

Linda Lou was out of town this weekend and I had some "alone" time, so I just finished whacking while watching what you did to Grich, while he was running half throttle, at the beach with the GN 9 boat. You are the man I could never hope to be. I thought I was down to a couple of whacks left when my pizza guy showed up. Yeah Sammons and my brother wanted to drive and I know I couldn't even carry their lifejackets, so I lost my motivation... The only thing that would have been better is if I could of had Gordy all to myself in a room at the casino!...that would have been it...DONE!
NIIICE LOU!!!

[Rattle Can Lou]

So picture this...I'm in the jungle doin a little nut swingin on my main man Rankin and the troops get a little restless. So I jump from Rankins limb over to Gordys limb (and of course ya know I slipped off his) and the troops still are restless. You guys gotta realize that with Tony gettin a fake bake in the hospital I didn't have any limbs to swing from for awhile. Don't hold it against me, but with the enduro comin up and I know Sammons and Billy will leave me so they can go have dinner with their wives, I need to be able to hang out with some other folks...Eason, are ya out there??? Maxi, can you play???Hello...does anybody hear me???

I never noticed how young the guy was but I knew it wasn't Lou from the white suit. Lou applies resin wearing flip-flops, a jock strap, and a pair of hymen red vinyl gloves.
I would imagine his bear like woolley epidermis would make spill clean up a snap.

[Jbb]

lmao...:D

[Rattle Can Lou]

That Brown is one sharp feller.....funny too...

[Rattle Can Lou]

The fianl glass was applied to the shaft hole and all the holes have been filled, glassed and sanded smooth. We will now sand off the last glass patch and then apply a polysester fill primer. This application is like spraying resin with a thick solid body that flows out and fills like 10 coats of primer. The cool thing about this product is that it is very hard and strong. When I purchase the product I will take a picture so you can see what it is. Very handy product on a boat restore. If you have a wavy area that just doesn't seem to want to straighten out you can spray this on and block it and it will be flat as a pancake. It is not a product you can use on the inside if you are giving the floors a natural finish. In our case we are gel coating the inside with a color. Here are some pics.

Where do you find the time "O-Great One" ???. Do all the work around the shop, the race shop building all those race cars, answer the phones and "BS" for hrs, build all these state of the art boats, and keep all the "LOU'S in order!!!. You are truley my idol. And I thank God everyday for hooking up with you :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

[Rattle Can Lou]

Thanks Billy, I know that was meant with all sincerity. Sometimes I have to pinch myself to see if it's all true. And yes, I am amazing. I think it starts by getting up at 4:00 AM every morning and I don't rest till all is done. Sometimes that means 1, maybe 2 in the morning. I really appreciate the fact that somebody notices the great strain I am under...again, thanks Billy for noticing...RCL

Ya know Jerry, people don't realize just how dangerous you are. You arm yourself with pics that can destroy a person. Given to the wrong hands who knows what destruction you can do...amazing.

[TonkaDriver]

Hey RCL,
You keep talking about this poly primer. I am getting ready to flip my boat and fill every hole and prep the bottom for paint and speed coat. This stuff sounds like the kind of product I can use to make it perfect. I figure to spray a good primer and top it with black as was done with Jerry's boat and use the black as a guide coat to smooth it out.
I am getting ready to buy supplies so any help will be appreciated.
Kurt

[Rattle Can Lou]

Sorry Kurt, I was gone all last week and they sprayed it while I was gone. I will post pics later. The product is made by several maufacturers. We used a product made by OMNI. It is number MP 243. The product description is Polysester Primer. Buy the catalyst also. It is the same as you use with Resin. This requires a large orifice on your gun. It is heavy build and works great. Let it cure for a couple of days before you get back on it.

[MAXIMUS]

This is a fantastic thread... I am thinking 2 yrs from know a little more toward the 2010 parker enduro he will be posting how they are preparing the install of the bow eye & saying something like we are working over time to try and be ready for the enduro in 1 week!:rolleyes:

That seems to happen to a lot of fella's around here... I remeber a good buddy of mine bought a brand new canary boat which he thought would be fun to run in the K class... that was like 10 yrs ago & if I am not mistaken we have not recieved the thing yet?:rolleyes: I am afraid that boat racing will have been extinct when this thing arrives & it will need to be used as a crack cooker...:rolleyes:

[gn7]

want the real date? go back and read post 100 and to think I got slammed for posting that. Also, if I catch RCL or Sammons near my boat with a tape measure again (second time already) I will personally use it to measure the I.D. of both your colons!:D

You know when you hear blatant lies like this it makes my blood run cold (colder than normal). I probably could have had the deal done but we dondt have the aluminum back from the annodizer. The fins haven't been "blueprinted" the shaft log has not been "guide coated" all this stuff takes time. You have to be patient or I will move you to the bottom of the list again. Now this is just a friendly warning you are next in line behind RCL, VDV, and K Boat King. Besides the engine has not even been Dynoed or sunk even once yet. Once the hull is properly cured and the stars are in the correct location we can start. I will call you when it is time, in the meantime F.O.

Yes, My brothers were the ass clowns and I was the studious one that was cooking and making sure that Rick King was attended too. I also was responsible for all the adult entertainment...the dancers and such. Next year I plan on changing my duties arond a little bit so I can enjoy the fruits of the vine, if ya know what I mean....I would like to have a drink once in awhile.
