Re: Testing the 36 tomorrow
 

I'll keep you posted on how my boat turns out.

We pulled the A/C fitting off the bottom, took the hook out and trued the last four feet of the hull.

That fitting is a BIG problem. I know for a fact it was causing a lose of speed and creating bad water on the port drive and prop.

We should have it back in the water soon.

Re: Testing the 36 tomorrow
 

The stock 500 carbs are 800's. we are thinking they are too small to turn the 5600, may have to go with 850's.

Re: Testing the 36 tomorrow
 

Im very interested to see how it does. Im wondering if that isnt a lot of my problem. Everybodys 36 does 74 from the factory EXCEPT mine. maybe that a/c fitting is costing 1-2 mph. If so, thats a cheap fix for the gain.

Oh dock, will you post some pics of how yours looks now?

Re: Testing the 36 tomorrow
 

I'm very interested to hear how Dock's boat rides now that the hook has been removed. I have heard on Baja's that taking it out causes it to porpoise alot more.

Dock please let us know !!!!

Re: Testing the 36 tomorrow
 

Do you have carb spacers on them ?

Re: Testing the 36 tomorrow
 

no, but thinking about adding them. what do you think about the carb size?

Re: Testing the 36 tomorrow
 

It's "iffy".

Spacers increase plenum volume,
that can help compensate when
carb size is a limiting factor.

And, they're relatively cheap, and
relatively easy to install.

Re: Testing the 36 tomorrow
 

IF YOU ARE RUNNING RICH AT IDLE I WOULD TRY A 2INCH OPEN SPACER BEST THING IS TO PULL A PLUG AFTER A
WOT RUN AND SEE WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE BUT WHEN I DID
MINE WE PUT A 850 CARB ON WHAT IS THE TIMING SET AT?

BajaRunner, Sorry to cut you short today on the phone. When I tried to call you back I didn't have your number. To answer your question, the only person I know of for glass work around here would be Rick George out at Emerald Point Marina. I have not met him personally or had any work done for me by him, but I have been told that he is suppose to be good. The only other people that I have heard do a good job is Custom Boats of Austin, but then again I have not personally had anything done by them. Sorry I can't give you a definate answer but I hope this helps. :drink:
