Questions for Chet

[HBjet]

ChetCapoli:
It's all been tried before and that's all you need to know HBWell, I find that hard to believe since your boat is almost non-existent to the rest of the boating world. (Rally Sport was it?) For me, my pump builder has an Original Liberty hull (actually hull #2) so when he tells me what works best on Liberty hulls, I'm not going to question him.
1) So again Chet, what made you choose Aggressor?
2) What was the deciding factor and did you test every other mfg before choosing Aggressor?
3) What where the results of the tests?
Chet, you ask a lot of questions that I have answered, now answer some of mine. No more BS!

Looks as if HB has gotten over his cold and is feeling alittle punchy today!! :D :D :p
Chet the phones ringing and I think its for you!! :D

[Jordy]

Popcorn anyone? :D

[ChetCapoli]

I just answered the phone and got that fax machine noise......Hb is feeling a little punchy today isnt he??? I'm gonna let him simmer for awhile....

Chet just faxed me and asked me to answer for him so here goes.
1) So again Chet, what made you choose Aggressor?
It was on sale at Costco.
2) What was the deciding factor and did you test every other mfg before choosing Aggressor?
Pretty color and performance were the deciding factors. I tested the impellers from Aggressor, Mattel and Great Neck.
3) What where the results of the tests?
I placed each impeller on a dowel, I then gave each one a hard yank. The aggressor stopped spinning last so I went with it.

You know glastron...your a pretty funny guy..you know what's funnier, you dont and wont ever go as fast as i do on your BEST day, yet you feel the need to pull punches with me. Better think about that next time you want to get in on the pissin. :D
Dont worry HB, i'm simmerin too. argue BTW, that quote, was from your mouth, not mine. See i'm not afraid to try new things and do some testin. I havent done any testing yet simply because my ride isnt totally tuned in yet. When i get the most the way it is now, i'll try the old berk stuff and maybe even a little dominator. As for you, you'll never try anything except maybe a new glo sheen wax for that big ol perm of yours. :p I'd go even so far as willing to bet not one single, soliitary aggressor part was even tried on that boat of yours..or even the #2 hull or whatever...simply because aggressor wasnt around back then. That is one of my main points you dont want to understand..you just snowball the facts to make yourself look good. As i have said before, i'm sure your man has enough of those impeller kickin around his shop(that didnt work on his boats)to let you try one and see for yourself...err, better yet prove me wrong. So why not??? I have 3 months as compared to your 12 to test. As for my hull..it truly is a RAllY SPORT...if you find some info on it, i'd be really interested since i havent heard anything about them either. If you see jeff B around, ask him, he knew what they were.

Oops,I was just trying to highlight the part where Chet Canoli says"just cause assggressor wasn't around back then".Exactly Chet.Berk started this shyt,then the ex-Berk employees started Legend and Dominator so get a clue.I don't remember ever dreaming about having a ***boat with an Assggressor pump when I was a kid! Berkeley will always be the king!

[JESSE]

Don't most people go with what there pump guy
tells theme to use.isn't that why we have pump guy's. HB gose to mpd his boat is fast.so I would
say that what Jack dose must be right.

that's why his 700hp motor in his boat with a Do-It-Yourself bottom blueprint to the hull only goes 87mph.

Aww come on guys I thought we were keeping the argue trash talk yuk in the bech racers forum :confused: :confused: :mad:

HBjet finally hb...the forum is back so we can go at it again. argue
I can see the performance difference?? Where did i say that now?? What i said was you can see how the aggressor bowl is a better bowl. It flows more water by it's design( you have to "add" some "majic" as you call it to make berk flow the same)..it has longer viens(which you have to "add" to a berk bowl)....has a built in stuffer FACTORY...(you have to "add" that to berk too)...has a factory "flow cone" nut on back(you have to "add" that to berk) and there is something about the harmonics as i was told between having and "odd" number of viens as opposed to and "even" number and lastly.....my personal favorite...it's CHEAPER! wink
Now thats why my boat runs 87?? I think not HB...let me know when you run 87 ok...oh yes..like i told you...i'm not done...oh oh oh...i'm not doneeeeeee. :D You can only wish to try to blueprint a hull and make it work. btw...you running 5200 at 80 and i ran 5500 at 87...so i say it's pretty darn efficient considering that motor should run all day long at 6400. Once i figure it out i just wonder how fast that will be at that RPM. Only 87...you make me laugh..ha ha ha!

CHET [/QB]Well well chet i hate burst your bubble but we took my buddys placecraft out with the mpd "magic" And it ran as expected Alot faster than 87 mph.Oh the impeller is a heritage bronze(same as a LEGEND)but cast in bronze :)

77, How did it go? What was your buds setup like?
Where does your friend hang out on the river?
A couple of us PC folks are wondering...
Thanks

I can see the performance difference?? Where did i say that now?? If you had to summerize the above paragraph, wouldn't you say Chet thinks there is a Performance difference between an older Berk and New Aggressor without testing them?
ChetCapoli:
my personal favorite...it's CHEAPER!This pretty much right here is the only truth as to why Chet chooses Aggressor.
ChetCapoli:
You can only wish to try to blueprint a hull and make it work.No I don't! That seems like a huge headache and I'd much rather spare myself and pay a professional who knows what they are doing before I would even attempt it.
So why aren't you spinning that thing at 6400rpm?
Why haven't you answered my original questions?
Here they are again:
1) So again Chet, what made you choose Aggressor?
(I think I have the answer to this one. It's CHEAPER)
2) What was the deciding factor and did you test every other mfg before choosing Aggressor?
(I think I have the answer to this one too. CHEAPER, and No, I did not test any other MFG because it was clear to me the Aggressor would out perform the rest of the competition)
3) What where the results of the tests?
(Well, I think I have the answer to this one too. There where no tests conducted, I reached my decision by using a very scientific method of checking how much money I could spend on a new bowl)
Well, I guess we have it now! Chet, let me know if my answers are wrong. If they are, please correct me. Thanks

randy when you have a very good hull there is no need fora blueprint! :)

[ChetCapoli]

HBjet:
So why aren't you spinning that thing at 6400rpm?
Good question hb...seems that pump must be pretty tight to hold that motor back like that eh? Like i said i'm not done.
Why haven't you answered my original questions?You never answered mine in the past either my friend. You boat has never been tested with anything but berk/legend either.
Here they are again:
1) So again Chet, what made you choose Aggressor?
[b](I think I have the answer to this one. It's CHEAPER!

HBjet Pretty close on all three buddy! Now what were the results on your boat when your man tested everything??? What you say?? He never tested them??? hmmmmm........
Hey 77proper....a placecraft should run alot faster than a v bottom last i knew...they are like night and day. Nice try though.

77charger:
randy when you have a very good hull there is no need fora blueprint! :) Yes randy when you have a hull like yours there isn't any need for a blueprint. As far as running 80 with it, i'm sure it can be done. Like i said before i'm sure there is another one out there like yours that runs faster.

Chet,
I was always wondering why the different number of vanes would make a difference. Aggressor has the nine and 11 vanes but Berk & Legend has 8, My "W" had 6 I think. I saw where you wrote about harmonics. How do harmonics play into the bowl picture? Are they good, bad?
