Just got home from LOTO
 

I was on 39 all red topgun,I saw docs boat at Gators ,I think I saw Smitty up at the shoot out .I saw the green 35 with 700s and the new owner was nice I never seen so many nice boats at any event .that was by far the Best event I,ve ever been to on the water .does anyone know where to get those aqua mats

Midwestboatparty.com

there was a couple fast baja's in the run. JT's of course & then that 27' was somewhere in the 80's. great job to all.

Is there anywhere that list's all the info of the boats and what they ran? I would be interested to see where mine would rank with some of the other boats.

Midwestboatparty.com

what does Jt have for power

how would a 232 islander that runs 71.6 on gps have done ?? 450+ hp 502

is there other brands to choose from they are proud of those.

All the results are not posted yet.

575SCi's, mod'ed with Dart iron eagle heads,
HR cams, ecm upgrades all supplied by Gellner.

what was your top speed at the shootout did you see better then 91 else where,what clas was you in

91 was the best they gave me, gps speedo in the boat
was reading 92 on 3 of the 4 runs though.

The fastest I've had it is 94.2 last fall, then a vertical shaft
let go.

The prime running season will be here in about a month
or so, I'm pretty shure 95 is in reach as long as the drives
cooperate.

Class was NV3P2

Good job JT. I saw the 94 run last fall, look forward to seeing it run faster this fall. I'll have my camera ready! :evilb:

I should have run this year, no entries in my class! :coolcowboy:

Set that cooler full of beer on the dock, and see how much faster it runs.....

:party-smiley-004:

Thats funny

now what class would I run in BESIDES NO CLASS 02 33 outlaw 496,mercs whipple super charged 800 hp 97 mph 100 mph fully loaded ac porcelin head fridge filled 20 inch flat screen tv microwave linnens and pillows,enough tools to rebiuld a motor,110 lbs of weight to pull cg back.Im planning to have my boat there next year for sure.it going to be a long year.

Same as me ( NV3P2)

Anything supercharged above a 525SC they lump
all together.

The boat that won was a 35 Donzi with whippled 540's
( 950 hp) He ran 114.

I have no chance in this deal, I just do it for the fun factor
( and so I dont have to deal with the non anchorers and
the boats getting pinched in the tie up:rolleyes:)

And maybe just to show the folks that some of the
Baja's out there dont run half bad.

I would guess that 90% of the spectator fleet hasnt
a clue on who's running against what, or how you finish,
they just want to see the boats run, and possibly see something run that they can relate to.

People do seem to wave at you more once you have your classification sticker on the boat though:drink:

I think you have me confused with our friends in
the 563 area code:drink:...my cooler is only a prop that
I use it to stand on and dance on:rolleyes:

The wife packed a small cooler for me, everything
else got taken out and put on the dock, she even
packed a couple of "bullets" for when I was done,
as you can imagine, they didn't last too long.

Was the Top Gun in the shoot out???? Just kiddling. Cigs toooo heavy. How fast was it though?

dont the have 1,2,3 place I would agree fun factor Maybe they need to add non step to this category compare apples to apples

know we were on bikini look out The cig top out 101.7 so far merc 700 with bravo xr he takes it easy because of the drives I do get him to chase me ,we just pick our water he,s alittle faster .my midrange is like NOS Go to you tube and check out 33 baja 100 mph thats us and the best I saw 98 mph when we stoped his passengers said I had to be over 100 I replied gps said max was 98 that was fun until I had to fuel up I used 125 gallons in about 3.5 hrs.

Class winner gets a plaque, and you get your picture in
next years program, thats it.


You wouldnt believe how many classes that there is only
one boat running, ( back in the shooters 21 days, I have multiple plaques to prove it:rolleyes:)so unless there's a big demand for a seperate class, I doubt the'll do anything about it.

This year you could have brought a bone stock 33 O/L with
7.4's in it made one pass and drove home with a plaque....no one ran in that class as I recall.

hay did you see the pictures of your run NICE

Tommy Gun ran his 39 w/700's last year, as I recall
he got 106 out of it on one run.

Yeah, great pic's, got to ditch the artic cat snowmobile helmet tho:D

Nice run !
We went thru 2 drives and repaired by 7pm Friday! Had a blast after that.

We go to Grand, knock out a drive, you come here
and knock out 2:eek:,...... come with the story.

Bills boat threw a prop blade coming home on on Sunday,
since my boat was done for the day, we put on my 5
blades on it to just to get it home.....talk about killer cruise speed, even with 10 people on the boat we were running almost 60 @ 3500 rpm, my boat runs 55 @ 3500 rpm. :eek:

Too bad it didn't have the power to pull them.

what do you mean you trashed two drives did you have spares ,where they xr,s if so OUCH that was costly I carry a spare to

this winter I want to start biulding my own drive did my imco lower two weeks ago seemed fairly easy the shop I was at had all the tools

First went about 4 pm Thursday. We pulled and Matthew at PBB rebuild and delivered to us at condo at 130 AM friday!!
Install and ran the fun run got bout 6 miles past Cpt Rons and other went. Idled back to bridge and pulled boat at ramp by bridge by Rons.
Boat delivered to St Park ramp at 7PM Friday.
Yes XRs Hats off to Matthews crew.
cant wait to c the BILL

Did you bust a case on either of them ?

I do mine, as well as my friends too.

You just need to have the right tools, manual and a basic
understanding on how it works.

There's preloads and backlashes that need to be set.

If only mercury could make a decent quality XR upper gearset
I wouldn't be so familiar with their inner workings:rolleyes:

I run xz uppers imco lowers

please post what went and costs

J T did you find out if I would still be in the stock class with my 25? I will be going next year to give it a try.

Matt and Doug at PBB are awesome. Bailed me out last year. Saved my vacation.

Oh with the inspector I had, it wouldnt be a problem.;)

I havent seen the final results. but I'm pretty shure you would have won.

The first one locked up the upper and the motor. Thought I had bigger problems pulled drive and motor fired up! Breath easy again.
Second blew the top cap off, I mean gone.
I will call and see what i can find out.
As for cost still waiting on the bill. Sure its not gonna be pretty.

I am beginning to think the Stelling boxs are my problem. Have had SEVERAL drive problems this year.

Crappy XR upper gearset are probably more of it.

Bills boat ( the boat we brought to grand) has went
thru both sets of upper gear sets.

I put a set in one drive this spring when we found chunks on the magnet when changing oil, the other one went out with a BOOM, and he doesnt have boxes.

The boxes dont help matters, but their not the total
cause of the problem.....chinese quality gears are probably more of it.......the newly added power may have a little to do with it too;)
