Power...speaking of which, not sure what pulley I'll need to pass that Fountain. I'm thinking the one that makes the lowest boost should do it. Ya know, conservative to make it more reliable. Then step it up to really fly!

Jeff, your first motor should be done next week and on the dyno! Cool parts you sent up, a little exotic, but very cool! Should get you going a little faster!

Better watch out Ragged, now you’ll have THREE to contend with!

5PM, how’s that conversation with Dustin at Whipple going?

Dave

When the blower "flys" off the motor you need to go back down one size, and call it good. It's the R&D method of horsepower development. (run&destroy) "Reliable" what's this, you been talking to "your insider guys" at Merc Racing again?

Using the base formula of 20hp per 1mph, you only need to find him a little more than 600hp, now remember, thats per side.

I have that covered, I turned Samantha's bolster around yesterday. Figured that way she can keep track of all you guys and not suffer neck strain.

As for 5P, I doubt he's going there. I don't think he's into being upside down in a bilge on a nice summer day, when he could be cruising or golfing.


Well guys it's off to the pleasure boat shop again for me, need to make sure Samantha's bolster is good and secure, classes start soon.

I think I'm a little too advanced for your class.

Not to worried that you might learn something from me!

Besides, I thought you were going to call me when you had no class?

Finaly? I think this has always been 5P's approach. Pretty much my program lately as well, decide what it is you want to accomplish with the boat, then buy one with the power that will do what you want it to do. Technology beats the chit out of being up to your elbows in grease wrenching and being broke every time you turn around. But what do I know, this is my first rodeo.

Her bolster is just fine, this will be a walk in the park deal. But thanks to you and Bird for the offer.

What's everyone bored? Not Me! I know I'll be first in the water this year....Gonna splash the race boat in NJ on Thursday at high tide (around 10 am) and see what she's got!

Then a little tweaking...and we should be set for Biloxi in ONE WEEK. Holy Crap! Wow this went quick. Then its back to the cold weather for a couple of weeks then off to Mexico for some R&R...Then back to put the power in the Formula.

What a schedule, oh yea, plus work is real BUSY!

Dave
