OKNOZELMAN,
Check out the brochures at Roostwear (http://www.roostwear.com/dbro.htm) ..... Thor 19 is listed. :D

[Cs19]

what kind of horsepower? engine placement depends on what you plan on doing with the boat and horsepower.

[oknozelman]

Eric455,I will send you some pics, and thanks for the help. Boe.

[oknozelman]

To,Infomaniac,& Nagrom,good to see some more okies.I have family from Brokenarrow,and they both have jet boats.Boe

[oknozelman]

To Roostwear I went to your site,thanks for the brochure.I havent even seen another Thor here in Ok.besides mine. Boe

[oknozelman]

To cs19, It's going to be a 496BBC with alum. heads and 6/71 blower. Aprox. 8lbs boost and hoping for 850hp. As far as what the boat is going to be used for,it will be a lake boat and racing to the end of the cove! Thanks, Boe

You could try to contact Nordic (http://www.nordicpowerboats.com/index2.html) and see what they say? Or contact one of the jet gurus here in Cali. Personally I use Tom Papp (http://www.tompappracing.com) but there are others.

i think the same, find someone who has worked with that hull, sounds like a healthy motor. you should research that motor placement.I have a 19 daytona and we are at 23 from the motorplate to wood transom (kinda thick) so if your transom is thin maybe subtract an inch. I think you will end up in the same area. motor placement is pretty critical, as i found out when i needed a number for mine, i talked to everyone about it and came up with a good number. maybe even have a back seat in mine.Good luck let us know what you come up with, pics would be nice too! later

[Unchained]

Just for comparison the engine placement in my 19' Cheyenne tunnel jet is 26" from the inside of the transom to the back of the motor mount plate.

[oknozelman]

To cs19.I hope the motor runs strong.It's about to kill a poorboy.And about the pics,I sent eric455 some and he is going to post them for me.

[oknozelman]

To Unchained,Thanks 23" is about what others have said.A few guys around here are runing Cheyenne's and they are setup 29" from transom to the back of the block.By the way are you runing a jet-away?

[Nagrom]

hey nozelman, what lake do you hang out at?

[Nagrom]

We hang out at Thunderbird on Sundays if we can't get away for the weekend. Otherwise, we like to go to Keystone or Ft. Gibson.

[Nagrom]

ok sorry about all the double posts... dont know how ive done it....

[oknozelman]

Nagrom,Don't worry about the double posts.I can't even figure out how to post pics of my boat,eric455 was going to post them for me but i haven't herd from him.The white Kona,that wouldn't be Scotty's boat, would it? If so I've ridden in it and raced against it w/ my old Condor Sprint.

[Nagrom]

yeah thats scotts boat... Im the bald guy thats usually with him. well if I knew how to post the pics I would help you, but I havent had the need to post any yet. Which boat do you have now?

[Infomaniac]

You guys need to go to Keystone on Thurs. evenings. Drag boat heaven.
Go to "the island" on Ft. Gibson for the same on weekends.

[Nagrom]

Alot of boats up there huh? we'll make the trip one of these days...

[oknozelman]

Nagrom,I'm runing a 19' Nordic Tunnel.Its blue & white, I'll get some pics on here one of these days.

[oknozelman]

To,Info. I like to run on Keystone,BUt have not been on thursday night. I have run the river at Gibson but I must have gone at the wrong time. Didn't see many people.But when I get my boat finished I will try to make both places.
