Imco extreme drives & boxes mounted
 
1 Attachment(s)
They look sooooo sexy on the 29. I'm not even close yet, but had to get them stabbed in, just to see what it will look like.
The drives are Imco Extreme 3" shorties on Imco 12" neutral boxes.
Don't mind that Nebraska hat. I was just using it as a grease rag.:evilb:

That does look good. Let us know your gains when your finished.

Dock Holiday 03-27-2007 08:13 AM

Looking good buddy, you have got to be stoked at this point.

The prop shaft does not look has high as I was expecting. I hope it all works like a charm.

Nice grease rag also!:evilb:

dude that thing is going to haul a$$

JasonSmith 03-27-2007 11:47 AM

Brett @ bblades says it'll spin a 30" Maximus on 1.36 gears. Math works out to 96 mph. He said we can get there, but it'll cost more money to make the propellers "right".
I don't know right now. I'd just like to get it done.

haulinvols 03-27-2007 12:05 PM

Jason, that looks sweeeet. Can't wait to see the finished product. :evilb:

Looks great Jason. It looks like you'll be smoking me at the poker run this year.

socalstone 03-28-2007 11:30 AM

That is bad azz. So are the speed numbers you'll be posting.

jmeng 03-28-2007 12:50 PM

Looks sweet. Gonna be one of coolest 29's out there when you're done.

jryan26 03-28-2007 01:05 PM

Looks Great!

You're my (boat) hero! :D Can't wait to see how she performs. I may have to do the same to mine at some point. :drink:

Question. I have a 29 OL. When running 78 or so. Trimmed up with 4 blades it seems my stern is up out of the water and kinda dancing. I dont mean chine walk tilting left / right . The front(bow) seems planted but the stern seems up and dancing ...running off the drives. I am triimed up attempting for max RPM/speed.

So with the whippees and running bigger pitch for speed. What will the result be?
Am I just trying to run to much trim for a 29 FT boat. They seem a$$ heavy to begin with due to twins and in reality size. A 33OL site somewaht higher than a 29OL.
I hope I am explaining my question right.
Just wondering at more than 85mph how the 29 will react?

Beats me! I'll let you know how it does at 95.

lmao.

Not trying to bust your balls jason, but man 95 seems optimistic. A hp500 29 runs 82ish. I guess i would have thought it to be a high 80 mph boat. (fast as hell nontheless)

I am very curious to see the outcome. remember to be careful. I dont know if anyone knows how a 29 will handle at those speeds

I'm an optimistic kind of guy! You'll be surprised. So will alot of other people!:drink:

Wear a helmet and make sure your premium is paid up. Thanks for the heads.

are you juicing up the engines as well? What is your final hp goal. This is a cool project. Expensive i bet too :evilb:

jeff1000man 03-29-2007 10:20 AM

Should have built a set of 582's with a mild blower. 850lbs of torque. You could run that thing at over 100. Wouldn't that be scary.

Funny how things were back then.
It ran a best of 94 on GPS & 92 on Radar @ LOTO.

what did you have for drives before ? the only way I can tell the difference between 94 and 100 is by GPS

A.O. Razor 04-01-2011 07:57 PM

Very nice setup, looks great. It might have been answered in another thread, but what kind of power are you running. Just curious.

Good luck with it.

This is an old thread. I ran Whippled 454 mag mpi's that were cammed up. I'm not sure what they made for power but I think it was north of 700.
The boat ran a best of 94mph.

Sweet Project! Your smart not to go over 650 cuz then you'll smoke your drives like I did.

I wound up WAY over 650 a side & Tyler Crocket hooked me up in no way, shape or form! This is a very old thread that I brought back on my journey down memory lane.
Many changes were made on this journey.
