If you only knew.........:lolhit:

Anything new?

Not really.....I havent talked to Eddie in a week or so. I was gonna call him this week to see how things were going.

Winter sux.

I was hoping he would get them back together in a hurry , when they get that cruise ship afloat they might need some YOUNG power to tow it back to drydock and you would be up for the challenge !!!

I'm trying my best to get them done. I haven't been on much lately cause we are just to busy. We finally have most of the parts and are machining them now. We have had a hell of a time getting the parts we need. I have a shop full of engines that are in various stages of assembly and all are at a standstill because of lack of parts.
I will post some pics as soon as I have something worth taking a pic of. Hang in there guys. Thanks
Eddie

Ill let you take the lead on the rescue mission Dean. You have lots of break in time on your motors...let me know how that works out for you :lolhit:

When we get this thing back Im just going to be thrilled if I can actually hear my boat idle...since I havent heard it do so in almost 2yrs.

I forgot Erick are you going to use the standard scx uppers and the scx lowers w cleaver props ? if so what gears ?

Yes, going with SCX uppers and Wilson Blueprinted SCX lowers. I think now that we are shooting for even more HP that SCX lowers would be a good idea. Keeping gears @ 1.5:1....for now.

I cant tell you how pissed I am about the new IMCO -4 drive set up. I bet I have called IMCO 5 times over the last 4-5 years asking them if they were ever going to do anything to "speed up" the SCX lower...and their answer every time was "nothing planned for the immediate future".

However, I guess since Lil R raised the drives like 4 feet :lolhit: that in essence we have a similar setup now as we would with the new -4. The new lower looks lots faster though. I dont know why I am surprised...why would anything on this boat EVER go my way. :lolhit:

I know when I sent my scx uppers back this fall they didnt give me much at all for trade in on the cases and they were only about 8 months old there again how am I going to sell empty scx upper cases much less trying to sell them whole in this market ,but I wanted the whole new setup so thats the way it goes $$$$$$$

Did you get set of the new -4 surface drives or are you still using the old SCX upper and SC lower??

Full scx-4 uppers-lowers #6 shafts 1.34 gears full surface !!!!

Eric, I think you should give me a super-great deal on your SCX's and then you can buy the new -4 SCX's:evilb:

I hate you....

Once we get the boat actually running again and see how fast (or not so fast) it runs...I may take you up on that offer!!!!

Can you let me know about what the cost was?? PM me.

Thanks Dean.

Hey Eric

Glad to see a little progress for you! I check this thread every day with baited breath. If anyone deserves a fine, fast, attractive and (reasonably) RELIABLE boat you do!

Andy

Eric just talk to Eddie some time about it Im getting everything through him , oh and dont be a hater ha ha .

Thanks Andy. And it was good to talk to you a few weeks ago. If this thing ever gets wet I plan on taking you up on hitting a poker run in TX!!

Will do.

I gotta hate a lil....it keeps me sane throughout this whole mess!! :lolhit:

Better get a supercharged tow rig!

This usually does the trick.....

That rig is gorgeous! I'd say that should work just fine.

Thank you.

Wanna buy it? :lolhit:

Kelly Blue Book has it at about 35k with premium wheels, and over-sized off road tires. I will give you what it's "worth" :bunnydance::bunnydance::bunnydance::bunnydance:

Please contact Precision Motorsports for any formal inquiries on the purchase of this vehicle.

:stooges:

It's just unfortunate that it's a FORD!!!!:party-smiley-004:

Dont you have some engines you should be building?? :lolhit:

And...I was actually at Eddies shop again the other day. He had just finished building one of your engines and put it on the dyno. I filmed it. Just a few tuning issues to work out, but things are getting closer... :hijack:

OMFG!!! Now THAT is the proper way to blow it the phuck up.

That is a lot of money in the **** can.

That was a cummins from a pulling truck kid had just spent a ton of money on.
Actually split the block in half most of the deck was still attached to the head!

He's used to it by now....

That makes me sick to my stomach......

Can you imagine what that sounded like when it cut loose. I bet at least one of those guys needed to change his tighty whities. Bet that made a mess of the dyno room.
Eddie

I love the way they responded in the video , oohh oohh ,

Been there....done that. :bunnydance:

F O R D

Forced 2 Overlook Reserch & Developement

:D Why no ford s in our boats ?

I say If your gonna use a ford to pull you should have a ford in your boat :bunnydance:

I just ordered a new GM truck...it has a twin turbo 1350 in it and M8 tranny.

I hope its a DRW!!!!! :party-smiley-004:

Very cool .. As much power as my boat is makin'
