Hey BIG Daddy your almost there :cool-smiley-026::cool-smiley-026: WOO HOO for 5000

4991, only 9 away. Come on Mark, you can do it. If you don't have 5000 by the end of the day I will be disappointed.

See Jason, you expect people to beleive that you were signing womens breasts and they were signing your ass on Conroe last year.....and there were 4' seas!!!!!!:party-smiley-004:

Tell us how you really feel about Blake...that
should be good for a few posts;)

Yep, the beaker is right. I was told to leave the butt pirates site because some dipchit thought it was cool to launch off a wake 30ft off the stern of a cruiser and me and some others disagreed. There is a similar thread on here where numerous members have said the same.

Dock,
After reading your well thought out ramblings I have determined that your Company should begin drug test immediately, starting with management. I'm afraid you might be going onto what they call "No motor withdrawl".:(:(
Jay

If he starts on Blake he might be to 6000 before the sun goes down. It might also increase a lot of other peoples post count!!
Jay

:D:D:evilb:

At Least!

Good two more:D

I'm your huckleberry.

Jason Smith aka Jason Smith

Folks I have found Jason to not only be a GREAT sport with a super sense of humor but a really nice guy.

He does what he says, he has bought a lot of stuff from me and always pays up and is someone we look forward to seeing at the events.

If he says they are 4 footers then by God they are 4 footers.

We love you buddy.

P.S. I have a new tape measure in the mail to you now.

P.S. I am very sorry to compare you to T.B. Moron. You may look alike but you are definately not that stupid.

LOL, the signing of breasts & buttox came out in family court the other day. Did you see my daughter at Conroe?
My ex-wife has a snitch that lurks on all the fourms I'm on & twists everything I say into something that is just not true in an attempt to keep me from seeing my little girl.:eek:
Totally off the subject, but I thought I'd let you know.

Hi Mike.:D

I have one of those tape measures. Hell every man has one of those tape measures that make 6" into 9".
Mine doesn't work that way....I have to fold it in half.:drink:

Reminds me of a birth control joke:
"I don't need condoms, I just fold it in half & put the firing end out".

Hell, I keep this up & I'll be at 5000 by the end of the day too!:grinser010:

Damn Jason--just throw that thing overboard and it might make some huge ripples---sorry I meant waves:evilb::evilb:
Jay

ya'll are crack'n me up, used to have to head up to the AT cult forum for such wittiness,

We were going to have a battle of the witts but some on here may only be half prepared!!!!!:eek:

Awe Crap a Pop Quiz................

these stories of world speed records remind me of growing up hearing how easy I had from my dad, heck he was up before dawn, feeding the chickens and milking the cows then had to fix his 8 brothers and sisters lunch, Then walk to school in a foot of snow, uphill,,,,,,,,,,Both ways......... :D

I am in your corner Jason, cause Capt Morgan is the duct tape of life,

And some are just plain unarmed. :D

Please refer back to post #10. :D

[QUOTE=customtouch;2589792]We might be kin folk, too funny:drink:

Doc, jason and who ever just a thought with twin 500hps to 650 hps in a 33 boat. what would you burn a hour at 3500, 4000, WFO I no this has nuthing to do with this tread but since your all hear:D give me some feed back please, I am thing of moving up, artie

is that blakes site or another site?

2002 Baja 36 Outlaw
500 EFI engines with Merlin Heads and 741 Crane cam
with ECM reprogram = 598 HP at 5400 RPM

Here is exactly what I just copied off my last computer scan from last year. This report is huge but if you email me I can sent it to you so you will see first hand.

Idle = 2.36 GPH
1600 RPM = 6.56 GPH
2150 RPM = 10.48 GPH
3200 RPM = 18.92 GPH
3500 RPM = 19.56 GPH
3800 RPM = 20.62 GPH
4000 RPM = 22.06 GPH
4200 RPM = 27.31 GPH
4500 RPM = 31.48 GPH
4800 RPM = 34.35 GPH
5000 RPM = 35.76 GPH
5200 RPM = 38.04 GPH
5299 RPM = 38.37 GPH
5400 RPM = 40.75 GPH

Note what happens over 4000 RPM.

I hope this helps you out and answers your question.

Remember this is per engine so on a twin it is times two.

Cruise my boat at 3800 RPM and you are burning 42 gallons per hour.

Which comes out to a little over $400 per hour at WOT. That is if you are only paying $5.00 a gallaon! Premium "on the water" must be at least that much now and will probably be that much "on land" soon!! :rolleyes:

Maybe surfers define it this way but they also smoke a lot of weed! :D

Wave height is simply the vertical distance between crest and trough. Amplitude is the vertical distance from crest to sea level/waterline.

wonder what he measures this wave to be ?

You think that might have made him pucker a little:eek::eek:

Official Transcript from the Senate Sub-committee on Wave Heights. The meeting was called to order at 9:30 am. Committee members present:

Jim Paymemore-D Utah,
Frank Swindle-R Ohio,
William Huckster-D Maine


Paymemore: Let's begin this meeting by introducing our expert witnesses that have kindly given of their time to be with us today. From Hawaii we have Kiko Kamahana, from San Calamity California we have Jimmy X and from Cuckoo Beach Florida we have Jon Ronny. Senator Huckster, could you bring us up to speed on the problems as you see it.

Huckster: Well the problem is there is not a standard way to measure wave heights. A 2 ft. wave in Hawaii might be called a 4 ft. wave in California and a double overhead monster on the East Coast.

Swindle: How could this be? How many ways can there be to measure a wave?

Huckster: Why don't we let our experts explain how they measure waves. We will start with Mr. X from California.

X: On the west coast we measure the wave by how high the face is just before it breaks. We judge the height by comparing it to the oil platforms just offshore. Another method we use is by how hard it is to find a parking place. For every five minutes you look for a place to park, add one foot to the wave height.

Huckster: Very good Mr. X, now lets hear from Mr. Ronny from Florida.

Ronny: The right way to measure wave heights is with a ruler. Usually a one foot ruler will do, but during the Hurricane season we pull out the old yard stick. You just walk out into the waves and stop when your ankles get wet. Then push the ruler as deep into the sand as you can. Then just step back and wait for the next set wave to come crashing in. If the wave covers the ruler, then it was over one foot. Any thing else we measure in inches, although I heard that some guys in Virginia Beach were using the metric system, with wave heights in millimeters.

Huckster: Well that's very interesting, now Mr.. Kamahana, will you bring us up to speed on the Hawaiian method of measuring wave heights ?

Kamahana: The right way to measure waves is from the back of the wave.

Swindle: How do you do that when you can't see the back of a wave ?

Kamahana: Well, we don't actually measure the back of the wave, we use something called the inverse haole formula. The formula is 1/H * 50 = wave height, where H = the number of haoles out at our local break.

Huckster: So let me see if I got this right, if there are 50 haoles out, then 1/50 * 50 would equal a 1 ft. wave.

Kamahana: You got it bro, and if there is only 2 haoles out, we have a 25 ft. monster!

Huckster: Well then gentlemen, as you can see we have a problem as to which of these methods if any should be adopted as the official wave height index.

Paymemore: I move that we adjourn this meeting and re-convene in Hawaii next week for an extended stay so that we study the problem first hand.

Swindle: I second the motion, this meeting stands adjourned.

Not so young grasshopper.... Amplitude and wave height are one in the same- measured from baseline/waterline to crest. That's not just surfsmack.... it's science!

Damn Jason,
Just run your boat in smooth water next time------:party-smiley-004:
Jay

Exactally what I was thinking!
How do you measure your d!ck is irrelevant as long as you look down & say "that is big" & the girls agree.... it is big.
So, measured from the bottom to the top or the middle to the top, big is big.:drink::drink:

Well, the United States Army Corps of Engineers' Coastal and Hydraulics Laboratory, who publishes the Coastal Engineering Manual, disagrees with you. Waveheight is measured crest to trough.

Originally Posted by socalstone

so 4' wave gives you 4' of crest and 4' of trough- this equals 8' of wave "face"

Looking at what he said and your chart to me they are the same thing.

Using the still water line add the trough and the crest and you have the wave height.

Trough + Crest = Wave Height

thats what I use:D but a lot of times out here there is no still water line just troughs and tops:eek: and there steep in BUZZARDS BAY CAPE COD almost every afternoon when blowing out of the SW. and by NEWPORT. Thats why theres so many blow boats in those two areas:rolleyes::grinser010:

Good for them. but is still wrong to me. I can dig up a hundred legitimate sources that measure from sea level to crest for wave height, including my old school books from Oceanography courses at U of MD, but I think I'm burned out on this topic!

I was just trying to help JS justify what he thought he was running in cuz there were a dozen people calling BS!

You measure crest to trough... more power to you. If JS thinks he was running 90+ in 4' seas... More power to him. More power to you both! ...Whatever the numbers are, I'll know to divide by two.

enjoy.... I'm going to go smoke some weed!

Thanks Doc SO CARBS ARE MORE I think I am at 50 at 5000 to 6000rpm:D with the single I wish I could add 4ft to mine.

that wave to me looks like a 6 footer

There's people calling BS because it's tough to run that fast in 4 footers. But I have been out in those "just right" waves before when you can run on top of them. From his posts I believe Jason is a straight shooter and he was running hard in some big water.

Everytime there is a thread like this there is that one person says a 4' wave is actually a 2' wave, a 6' wave is actually a 3' wave, etc. If you think the Coastal Engineering Manual is wrong...more power to you. :D

thers deffinately lakes that produce 4 foot rollers , lk winnabago in wi , petenwell flowage also will produice a 4 foot rollers theese are just two examples in wi
