So did hbjet set any speed records this weekend at cbba?How did the new bottom work?Was it worth the money? Well, with full tanks of gas, and 2 peeps on board, full cooler, and anchor, we where running 92mph in 127 degree heat. I wonder what it would run with a light load, one person, and the air temp around 70 degrees?
As for the bottom work, that was probably one of the best investments ever. Just crusing around 3500-4000rpm it ran smooth and flat. No bouncing on the glassy water. It really frees up the boat at any speed

HBjet Not to mention myself, my cup-cake and my ice-chest as well were onboard that sled.
For a boat with four people, two ice-chests, 3 gallons of some extra water from a bow-plunge, the boat ran extremely strong!

The bagged boat trailer was good for shock value and clearing driveways but i dont even have the time to goof off on projects like that these days. still got two trucks and a boat to finish up. Got any pics of your old truck Ty? I've built and owned several body dropped rides. A couple of crew cab duallys, a pair of Toyotas mini trucks and the '69 Chevy i've got now. Tons of fun but not real practical.

Plus Froggystyle put alot of work into the trailer already. Hell I think that trailers had more welding done to it than a triple axle of the assembly line.
Plus aka"G-String_Jaime" (LMAO thanks HBJet wink ) and I are rebuilding a two-seater buggy for the desert. She's got the decor and I'm doing the mechanicals. Figured we'd do a his and her project so I'm not always away from the house....alone :D
So far I'm droppin' in a stroker VW motor with twin Holley 500 two-barrels. She will be a real work of art. Jaime's got awesome taste in decor so here's her chance. :D

The buggy sounds like a fun project. i wonder what color she'll choose?

Well the Candy blue is definitely in order with red accents. Similar to my boat (minus the 80s gel). It's the seats and other items she's picking out.
The motor will be completely polished and accented in black wrinkle if possible and powdercoated items as required. Ya know...all of the bling bling s$&t

Well i now i dont have a superior race hull like yours or hbjets nor did the pump godess and engine guru of yours set mine up.The pump is a berekly with a stainless b/c,that gps reading at 6700 was when my old motor blew up and the motor was not running right,I have spun it up 7400-7500 the last 3 lake trips without the gps,Papp set my pump and the boat up so i know i am safe hands,If you still dont think thats right then i dont no what to tell you.I can tell you though with 2 spun mains and 2 spun rod bearings and the way that motor came apart it couldnt of made that much power on its way out,I am assuming at around 7300-7500 the boat should run between 115-120.

calm down kids. I asked a simple question. A quest for information if you will. It wasn't a shot or a flame. I just wanted to know why it took so many rpms to go 100 mph. I dont know his boat so therefore it could have been a bayliner. Hell he could have been turning an E impeller for all i knew.
By the way, i dont have a lightweight race hull and I'm not the expert which is why i ask questions.

Well, I was turning my Legend B at 5800rpm last weekend and I was running over 92mph with just under 20 gallons of fuel, cooler, and a passanger in 120+ degree heat. So lets say I lighten up the boat with little fuel, no passanger or cooler with some better air temps. I'll just guess saying I would be around 95mph @ 5800rpm turning a B cut Legend impeller in my V-bottom boat.... But a tunnel is (or was) going 100mph at 6700rpm with a B/C cut impeller. I know the smaller impeller would give you more RPM, but just how much more?

well, if he observed 100mph at 6700rpm, he would need 1027hp to turn the same impeller at 7500rpm, and the mph would be 118mph.

that is a great picture. ill take one too. but i only want miss hb's autograph. Is missHB smiling or are her cheeks being torn off? wonder what hitting the water at those speeds would feel like???? I like the picture though and would hang a poster of it on my garage wall and even take a picture to prove it.....
Omega What else would we expect from the president of the HBjet fan club?

I dont know how we can determine how much power that motor was making at 100mph,like i said before i stood on it and the boat didnt pin me in the seat like it usually did and i let off and stood on it again and the motor locked up,when it locked up thats how i got those numbers,i hit the re-call and looked at top mph on the garmin gps,the boat is night and day diffrence from that 100 mph run when the motor came apart,hbjet my new pushrods came today but i have a long night ahead of me,i pulled my intake off and still cant find that shim,i am now pulling the motor to pull pan and find that little ****er,Hopefully be ready tommorow night and headed to the lake,I have taken the boat out like 6 times with this motor,it was built by a very reputable guy who has a couple of boats running out at njba,I have never gps'd after we installed this motor.I need to spin up some rpm to run my motor in its powerband.

So did hbjet set any speed records this weekend at cbba?How did the new bottom work?Was it worth the money? getting back to the original question, jeff worked over the bottom of my boat this past winter, and it made one hell of a difference in quick, and top speed. we made a few other changes, but the bottom work was probably the most significant. he spent almost a full day just around the transition into the intake. i've had one helluva time slowing it down enough to stay in my bracket in good air. with 4100' at chowchilla, i ran a 10.06/106, with more in the toolbox. it wouldn't come close to that last year, in that kind of air. between dne/mpd, and the jb bottom, i'm pretty satisfied i can find the 10s wherever i go. BP,drag your boat up to naci this weekend,we are leaving friday.I would like to talk to you sometime about loader grates as well?I need to install a guage and check my intake pressure,we just re-built my pump and installed jetway,with the inducer do i have to change set-up at all?I had papp put his bottom on my boat with the bubble last year. edge, i cannot go to naci as i'm on call this weekend. hope you find your shim. i have some extra jetaway juice. if you need some, pm me and you can pick it up on the way up there. my house is just off oak park.
btw, on my 106 run at chowchilla, the engine was turning all of 5870. 700lb bare hull, legend B. the time slip and the data both say the same thing.
the blue ftn is 3.125.

"the blue ftn is 3.125."
I have a red one sitting here that is 3.125"
and a purple one that is 3.0"
my blue on is in the boat and I thought it was 3.0625"
I better double check it.

HB JET,That is a great photo of you and miss, at speed.The first one is the better of the two.That is what we all really love and crave. Make a poster out of it. Make an mpeg of of an outing when you have it dialed in.By the way, is it painful in a 120 degree wind, or does it cool you down some? Serious. We have wind chill factors up here in winter.

Up there and other parts of the river, it just gets hotter as you drive faster, and in some sections it would get really hot, and then other cooler. Just driving 35-40mph that weekend I was dipping my hand into the water just to spray a little up on me it was so hot. MissHBjet and I stayed on the water each night after the sun went down and it was really nice out then.
When I get some video of my boat, I will post it.

Little C did you say 7300? Is that towing a naked knee boarder? Or is that wrappin it up on the trailer when you are trailer racin while watching porn on the DVD player in the truck.
Just think the older you get the faster you where. By the time you are 50 you will say you were turning your "A" pump 10 grand.

hmm. two posts in a row from the La Verne contingent of jet boaters??? i wonder who little C is?
I'd have to agree on HB on this one. if you are only going 70mph at that rpm then i think your life vest might be on too tight. or some drunk guy is dragging his newspaper shoes in the water while you're driving...did you untie the boat from the dock??? :D
