Progress report #2

[cyclone]

Saturday evening at Big River i ran 94.4 mph in my boat... :D

[Hustler]

Now all you need is a little blue bottle :D :D Good job Mike, By the way are you still heading over this afternoon?

[flat broke]

Right on Mike!!!
Sunday evening at Elsinore we were cruising around 35 in mine. :D :p :D
Chris

[Jordy]

Was that on Westech's GPS??? (Sorry, couldn't pass that one up, and wanted to be the first to say it). :D :D :D

[HotHallet]

That's Rad! The Hundo mark is approaching! 94.4 I have to go for a ride!

[cyclone]

hustler- for sure. gimme a call so i can get directions.
jordy- i was waiting for that.
flat broke- so is she all good for this weekend?
hot hallet- i am getting C-L-O-S-E.

[Jordy]

cyclone:
jordy- i was waiting for that. I know what happened:
You were running 70 mph (pretty fast for a jet right?) and then you threw the GPS unit forward as you were under power. Anyone can throw a 24.4 mph pitch... hence the 94.4. Perhaps if you try a little harder you can throw it 30 mph and hit that magic hundy mark... :D :D :D
Just had to throw out that conspiracy theory. :D :D :D
Jordy

[Jordy]

It's like that theory that nothing travels faster than the speed of light, so what happens if you're in a school bus traveling at the speed of light and you walk from the back of the bus to the front of the bus? :D
If you turn the headlights on, does anything happen? :D :D :D

[cyclone]

actually. i was driving in reverse and threw the gps over my shoulder for good luck. :D

[flat broke]

The boat will be in operation for the weekend. I'm trying to steal a day away from work this week to spend some serious time on the pond with the jet kit to see if I can't get the tank running at her best by the time we pull out Friday morning. I've got a couple ideas I want to try out and hopefully have this pig runing as strong or stronger than she did with the turbos.
As for you, be safe when you're out there. We love hearing about the numbers, but we'd much rather have you around to b.s. with for the long haul.

[cyclone]

thanks. Im really looking forward to hangin' out with you guys this weekend and seeing your boats. i want rides!

[victorfb]

Damn Mike..... 94.4mph ..... WoooHoooo!!!!!
thats awsome man. if the triple digits is what your after, im sure your gunna hit it. :D
sure wish i could have seen that... 94.4 mmmmmm mmmmmmm mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm :D

[Hal]

Good job Mike, Was that with the current or going up River? It can make a pretty good difference in speed in the late afternoon and evening when they are releasing the max amount of water at the dam. Maybe a 2 way average would work?
By the way what have you guys been doing at Big River these last couple of trips? :D

1) It's a Rogers hull
2) My tach is off
3) My ride plate is too low
4) Haven't tried out the diverter yet
Hmmmm, ain't workin'..............

As far selling it, dont talk to the wife she would see it in a heart beat... even more so with the motor being down.

:rolleyes: Hey man, I was the drunk one trying to water ski at 8:45pm saturday night and I know I could have gotten up on the second try, but Phils boat sucked up the roap. All I really remember is I was in a boat, then I was being pulled by one, and then I was just floating to the launch ramp holding onto one in the water, then I was cooking hamburgers for everyone, and then I was in a bar with DJD looking at me probably thinking..... This is HBjet?
haha! It was cool to meet you and we will party it up this weekend!
Oh, and the 17 yo with the CP! Very cool, so was her dad (Mark, his name was Bill)

This topic is about cyclones gps #'s. Whats all this waterskiing stuff. Are trying to tell me that you guys were waterskiing behind cyclone at 94MPH?!?!?!?! You guys got balls, (or just really drunk!!!) :D :D :D

[HBjet]

RiverDave:
I guess nobody appreciates my humour anymore.. :D
RD Aren't you the one running about 80+mph in Havasu Barney's tunnel with one hand on the wheel and the other holding a beer while looking over your shoulder for the picture? Safety First!
Besides, jet's boats are slow.
HBjet :D

[djdtpr]

HB we will look you guys up and definatly party it up this weekend,And maybe if Mike doesnt have to bad of a headache he can party a little too!I allready know Mark is in.

You got to be stoked cyclone,thats moving pretty good,What hbjets do? ????So what it run with the changes hbjet? Well, for some reason my carbs decided to no work for me this last weekend. we test fired the motor thursday after everything was hooked up and we used new gas, and everything was fine. My carbs where always running just a little fat, and Dave has been getting on me to pick a day to go lake test the motor and dial everything in. So anyways, the motor didn't like what the carbs where doing and Wrightnow, Cyclone, and myself aren't carb experts so after 45 minutes of messing with them, we trailered the boat and I just hopped in Cyclones to ride to up Party Cove, where I consumed more then my usual amount of beer, therefore I thought water skiing at 8:45pm would be a fun thing to do. I did get the boat up to about 50 mph and it rode really smooth and felt a lot looser on the water. Yesterday I had the boat at DNE and he checked over everything and fixed what we messed with, but still doesn't understand why it would have ran so differently without changing anything. So, we are going to lake test it tomorrow (like I was suppose to do a long time ago)

[Give Me Some Slack]

Who was dancing on the bow of the eliminator? I was there and didn't see that, but then again I was pretty drunk! And also who was arguing?

[BrendellaJet]

Cyclone, you had your headers ceramic coated didn't you? It appears that they have changed colors...I thought they weren't supposed to do that...What gives?(not trying to bash, I just dont want to pay to have mine done if they aren't going to stay pretty like Jet Hot says they will...)

Did it ever backfire Randy?

Brendella- i dont run water through the headers so they got dull. As long as you have a small amount of water running in the exhaust then they wont change colors. Check out HB's boat his look brand new still.
