Sorry to continue the hijack, but, what's the story on the Exciter boat that I saw in LOTO this weekend? I don't believe that I have seen that boat before.

It has been at the lake for years. I believe the owners name is John and have spoken to him before in St. Peters, Mo when he was working on an american offshore cat out infront of his home.

There is currently 2 41's (exciter,renegade), my 36', and steves old 28' that call the lake home. This past weekend blue moon 36' was visiting for the festivities.

I believe exciter was in Florida when he purchased it and he told me he went through the motors a couple of winters ago.

All I know is I was trying to leave at the same time as him on Saturday and by the time I got through the no wake he was long gone eating up the bumps.

Is it an 800's SC or just an 800 hp blower engine?

Is it a rib, 8MM or 1/2" pitch?

There's a company called Jason that makes blower belts. You may also be able to get it from Weiand. I got my last set of belts from Summit, they were Weiand belts.

800SC's The belt is a 16-rib belt, and measures on the long side of 68 inches.

Thanks for the help.

YES!!! Awesome!! Thank you so much. I owe you a cold one.

One Apache brother to another!:drink:

Too bad, I won't see the belt until next week. Lake Michigan forecast today is for waves up to 14 feet if you go out a ways. That would be wild!!! I tried 10's in a 35 Fountain... not so much fun.

How's my old boat treating ya !!

Hey Wes!! What's up? Did you get another boat yet??

Your old boat hates me. Trailer axles have bent, tires have blown, blower shafts have sheared, belts have broken (obviously), battery chargers have fried, carbs have clogged, water pumps have puked, guages died, fuses have blown, bought new exhaust-but the water Feds didn't approve, so I bought different ones, bilge pumps failed and through hull fittings have leaked (bad combo)... and I've only put 20 hours on the boat.

Having said that, Apaches rock, and I will never own another performance boat without an Indian head on the side...
