3 rc boats for sale

Brrrrr....
What are you running for a drive?

ha, now 800hp on a bravo

Blower Motor?
and a stock B1? no upgrades?

Who built the engine? Dyno/dialed in?

N/A pump gas.Scott at Merkel racing eng did all machine work.2 all nite thrashings at my shop assembling friday/saturday , In the water sunday. This motor was on his dyno when it was 540ci and made 740hp. Using Scotts experience,and math this motor should make aprox 50 more hp w/the 60 extra cubes...and yes stock B1. Drive shower and me babying that tooth pick( havent floored it yet)

Holy smokes! thats awesome!! what gear ratio are you running and how fast might you think it will go? B1 Prop? Really sweet sounding boat. Just what I needed to see in the middle of winter here in mid- Michigan.

Now I really feel lazy. since I have been sitting with my motor in the garage because its been too cold to worry about testing yet.

Nice work. What did it do before and what do you expect from it now. Prop? ratio? rpm? just give us the goods!

Yea, sorry gave all my friends the spring bug too. I heard 60 deg in January im boating. I was playing the prop game before and not dialed in at all 83.5. On that run labbed b1 28, 1.5 ratio, 5000 rpm half throttle, and not trimmed as u can see 80mph. I believe ill have to step to a 30b1, and anything over 90 ill be happy for a while

wait.....5000RPM at HALF throttle???? Hahaha...that thing is gonna sound SICK at 10,000RPM! Not to mention, 160 MPH! WOW! :thankyouthankyou::thankyouthankyou:

thats why im reluctant to tell anyone anything. Im not trying to impress anyone, belive me or not I DONT CARE. My engine max power is at 5800, and it will every bit of the rest of the throttle to get there, 90mph on a 24 degree non step hull

Is that the one you got from me????

sure is !

kreed, superboatbrt was on the boat, ask him

kreed is a ballbuster, he believes it he just likes to poke at symantics. ask him about his buddy with a 525 in a 28' checkmate spinning a 26p bravo 1 to 5800......... lol

Glad its holding up for you...boat looks great..hey a friend of mine has a 30' panther, runs about 95mph and thats all he ever used was bravos ones, and he's been using them for years...

what ever you did and are doing it must be the right combo, I'm very impressed that a true V bottom can run with 9% slip. I'm not being sarcastic take it at face value! good job.

Its not that hard to figure out really.. not sure what the confusion is. When does half throttle mean half rpm? Especially when its under propped... under prop any setup and it will rev easy at low throttle.

I was filming in the kryptonite and he was running 80 at 5000 without running full throttle. Hes hoping for 90 with a 30p and I dont think thats out of reach.

My kryptonite runs 65 at 4000 rpm at half throttle.. does that mean it goes 130mph when I nail it because it will somehow double and be at 8k?? It actually goes 93 at 6000 wot

ok i was in the pasenger seat maybe we were at 9/16 throttle but i did not have my throttle measuring duhicky thingamabob tool with me but i like you math at 160mph ds

that means a jetski should go 140mph

people like you make my head hurt

Yea, sorry. I was just busting them off alittle. Im just jealous cause my boat only does 80 at WOT! Sound like the boat is gonna fly! Good luck... :helmet:

my boat only does about 80 but its about boating and the information on these forums

these two had me in my boat 2:30am in my pajamas and slipers in 25deg weather getting excited for summer playing w my boat

i over reacted,I'm all for breaking balls. sarcasm is impossible to hear via internet. Hope to bump into you on one of the local runs this year, if my **** dont blow up again

Likewise..... do you guys go to Claudios at all? Were there about one every 3 weeks. Dont remember seeing an Active there last year, but I could be wrong.

Didn't make it last year. I'll look out for you this season, if the party dock is still there. I may have to hide the boat in the yacht club, you big guys make me look like a row boat

Carrera1, do you trailer the boat? where do you usually luanch?
Or do you keep at a marina, and where?

He trailers to his shop.. launches the engine with the engine crane.. then floats away in a sea of empty beer cans :D

We all trailer and race around the moriches area and through patchogue

Sounds like my type of dude! Hahahaha....been there done that! :lolhit:

Is that near the "lock" ?

xxxxxx

hahaha, know me to well :lolhit:

its long islands south shore.. near moriches inlet. thats where we hang usually. we come through the canal when we head to the greenport area. we all gotta hook up!!

didnt take your pills?

no I did, but I wasnt supposed to mix the w/ alcohol.:bong:
