Brian, I am bringing my Dads Wood Decker home in the next month or so, would love to attend a show or two with her are you still doing the Performance Boat regatta? Also what hull are you working on? I have been thinking of stretching my Sanger and putting a wood deck on her..
If this is in a boat I would rebuild it, most of the reman stuff will be for smog engines or you pay a ton for a performance engine. If you have the chops to build do it! I just put a reman in my 2000 C2500, pulled the original engine out at 402,000. I bought this new so I new that this thing...
for my friends who know nothing about boats we cruise at 60 to 70 all day long just haul ass buddy, to my V Drive friends we cruise at 3500, would guess 40mph. The boat patrol on Kings River says I cruise at 50 as that is what their Radar read, never knew I had a 100mph flat until that...
I would leave anything major until the last straw, I did mine because it was a complete rebuild, yours is done... just tweak and have fun, if that 100 mph bug bites you in the ass then in my opinion you need to flip that bitch over and work the bottom :) I think I looked at your boat years ago...
Agreed with the big ears on that prop and I went to an old school dual cable morse set up because having just one bolt on my steering scared me... You are running a lot more power than me but when I started building my Spectra (same boat) I talked with several guys who complained about bow steer...
what does that hoe weigh 20K ya that is a mess, My Brother has been on one of these since the 70's and watching him work is amazing to me and more so listening to his machine as he isn't reving the shit out of it but I have watched him walk that sucker thru forms and some pretty tight places...
Gross racing did a fantastic job on my prop, I had one with too much lip and it was just not right... i told them what it was doing on and let them do what they wanted, huge difference...
I went thru this a while ago but we made him go out to dinner with me first. He had to call me and select the date time location, I ignored his call for a day or so. I picked him up and paid for the dinner but it gave me one on one time and I clearly got the point across that he was asking to...
Tons of boats have had the power glide in them and set up right they work great, we have several friends that run the PG in their Sanger Flats, I run the velvet drives just for the smaller size. When I was setting my Spectra up, I had dropped of the Velvet drive with the trans shop that...
Hey Brother so sorry to hear about your Dad, I am 13 moths past loosing my Pop and I still think about calling him daily to talk about an idea or something cool I just saw. I am in the same spot as you for space and I just bought a bend pack 4 post off Facebook Market place on Sunday. I have...
You will be ahead of the game buying a good rotating assembly all together unless you have experience building, Scat and or Eagle have a good name. You will also be ahead of the game dumping those heads, some good stock replacements would be 049 or 781 casings. I run 049's with the bigger...
My Brother had one of these form 1970 to 2007, he got it when he was a junior in high school. Local Corvette dealer purchased it new, didnt like they way it handled, put it on his lot to sell it got ripped off. Kids took it for a joy ride and dumped in sante fe springs. Family Friend found it...
Wait for the new Death Tax to click in... The people incharge of this state are insane and drunk off their asses with power. I think every day they ask themselves how can we take more money from the people and give it away to people who don' pay any taxes...
So i was just thinking about this shit this morning, I heard on the news that the actor from "That 70's Show" is getting 30 years for raping two girls, I have no knowledge of the case or him but if he did it then good, if it was my daughter that he assaulted I would have delivered something more...
The center that this In n Out is in was also a Walmart location, Wally walked out of there 5 or 6 years ago maybe more and that building is still vacant. I was part of a gas station robbery a few moths ago, I had just pulled up and there was a young lady getting gas on the outside pumps, I was...
Absolutely love these old pics and Clank your commentary brings them to life. I love looking at the detail on the boats and engines, that Arias headed Chevy is bad ass, has been a bucket list of mine to build one!!!
I was thinking the same thing but then remembered how tight my flat is compared to my day cruiser and there is even more room in the turny boats, I think that was a custom build there
