When will jet boaters get a clue?

MAXIMUS:
K3....(that's better ) I have a friend with a sanger runner bottom 13-1 468 with roller & 22 gears...How does this one run (specifically) That is similar to the set-up I will be running after I get the 48 gears changed over to 22s (maybe even smaller) I found that the 48s that are in it now are TOO much gear for the small river we have to boat in...

Maximus are you the one that was making all the noise at parker week of sept 17 your boat blue tied up at foxs? you were cruising at night?

[MAXIMUS]

Yes that was me at night We were up there testing & enjoying the v-drive regatta. That is one of my favorite events... lots of cool boats & great people. Unfortunatly the cole tr2 was not back together in time & the sanger got "thrown" back together maybe a little to fast & suffered b.s. problems. The sanger is a really beautiful boat from the 70's. I helped my fiend, who inhereted the boat from his father in law who passed away, "restore" it for lack of better word. It is a really classy looking ride. A good friend of mine Grich is an old circle racer & is currently helping get it dialed in. We moved the engine foward 2" & shortend prop shaft. The boat is a rocket right now but a little unpredictable.
runs 7800 rpm with the old 18's. Not sure about the 22's.

K3 I have also been told that caution needs to be taken with these hulls. Grich has been real adiment about taking it one step at a time! This boat seems to need a lot of down pedal in order to make it set? We are currently working on the cav plates & hardware to help increase leverage. Prop seems to have good slip, which is good! If you need dimentions or more info let me know!

Lol... believe it or not, jet boat guys don't always know each other. Yes I remember your ride. Very nice piece! Who was the fella in the blue & white blown sanger with zoomies?? He was trying to get me to schedule a race at 11:30 at night after a few to many! I do enjoy the liquid egos & horse power that developes... after some serious bench racing & cocktails... Next time we will have to meet in person!
