Re: Going testing this afternoon with Callan Marine
 

Please be careful, bring your safety gear, :cool: and alot of pics.

Re: Going testing this afternoon with Callan Marine
 

They decided not to go with Sterling/Torque V-12's?

Re: Going testing this afternoon with Callan Marine
 

Damn Dean, with a little forewarning, I'd have gone and watched. Putting in at Astor?

Re: Going testing this afternoon with Callan Marine
 

results? pics? come on, you can't start a thread like this and then just leave us hanging.... :D :evilb:

Re: Going testing this afternoon with Callan Marine
 

Lake Monroe ????? that's a bit small isn't it ? I would have ventured down there myself.....caca !

Re: Going testing this afternoon with Callan Marine
 

That place is tiny and shallow too.....

Re: Going testing this afternoon with Callan Marine
 

Yeah, I had Lake George in my mind. That's why I said Astor.

Re: Going testing this afternoon with Callan Marine
 

come on we're waiting.

Re: Going testing this afternoon with Callan Marine
 

Well..............we're waiting :cool:

Re: Going testing this afternoon with Callan Marine

Re: Going testing this afternoon with Callan Marine
 

Sorry guys it took so long, 1st pic.

Re: Going testing this afternoon with Callan Marine
 

Test here boys and girls:
What is missing on the transom of this boat? :rolleyes:

Re: Going testing this afternoon with Callan Marine
 

Props? :D

Re: Going testing this afternoon with Callan Marine
 

What size Arnesons are on there. :cool:

Re: Going testing this afternoon with Callan Marine
 

The one thing that I notice is the turbine exhaust isn't poking out of the deck. ?

Re: Going testing this afternoon with Callan Marine
 

Tabs?

Sweet looking ride, incredible lines. :cool:
Any Running shots?

Re: Going testing this afternoon with Callan Marine
 

You mean like exhaust?.....but looking a bit forward it looks like the exhaust is above the "O" in the name....

Also dont see any type of tunnel tab of any kind either....

Re: Going testing this afternoon with Callan Marine
 

what are those big round things then? :rolleyes:

Re: Going testing this afternoon with Callan Marine
 

Caution to anyone running in Lake Monroe, there are 2 floating rafts out in the middle of the lake that are 5-6 feet square with solar panels on them. I have no idea what they are, but they aren't real well marked so be aware.

Re: Going testing this afternoon with Callan Marine
 

I can't wait to see that thing haul-ass in the Shootout. :cool: :cool:

Re: Going testing this afternoon with Callan Marine
 

Where are the rest of the pics Dean? Since I snapped a few of them myself, I'm hoping to see more so I can pass them along to friends/family. Maybe you can download and email them to me if you get a chance. I have the same email as jc but with my name @ Mystic Powerboats.

Look how the back of the boat almost comes to a point.Its sleek looking :drink: .

The steering cylinders don't look to strong and in the first pict the steering rudder is real close to the ground.I think I would of had a drive guard on that trailer . I guess its a temp trailer??

The air intakes look like they need a scoop on them .Prob not finished yet.


It looks very aerodynamic.Nice !! :drink: :drink:

Thanks for sharing the picks Dean and good luck to Callan Marine ,Be safe!!


Rob :drink:

Re: Going testing this afternoon with Callan Marine
 

RC,
They have all been sent to JC's email @ Mystic. My buddy Kevin went over on the shore along 17/92 and took a few pics of Ms. Long Lite running @ speed, here's one, (He was fully zoomed out and I had to recrop them to fit on OSO) and I'll send the rest of the pics to Mystic Powerboat's Assistant to the President, (YOU! :evilb: ) and send them to Jeff's email too!

Re: Going testing this afternoon with Callan Marine
 

Notice the boat doesent sit in the water very deep. Must be lite :drink:

2 foot draft sitting still????

Re: Going testing this afternoon with Callan Marine
 

here is John Cosker, and Capt. of the "Duck", (ME!) trying to figure out the starboard EGT problem! :cool: Ultimately, that, and the fact the boat ramp closed @ 8pm, shut testing down for the evening. Overall, testing was a HUGE SUCCESS! This boat has much more potential than the Tencara that's just phucking unreal! :evilb:

The answer to the my Q on the transom shot is, there are no EXTERNAL fittings or hoses on the rudder steering rams! Very clean neat design! :drink:

Re: Going testing this afternoon with Callan Marine
 

Rob,
Very observent on your part. You should see it get on plane, it just goes forward with NO BOW rise, none and it's GONE! :D It's really wild to see it plane off! :drink:

Re: Going testing this afternoon with Callan Marine
 

Are they planning on having it ready for the shootout

Re: Going testing this afternoon with Callan Marine
 

Nice!!! COOL!! BAD AZZZZ!! Good luck.

Re: Going testing this afternoon with Callan Marine
 

Dave Callan and John Coster are great guys and good at what they do. The new boat looks great and I'm quite certain that it will be very fast!

Re: Going testing this afternoon with Callan Marine
 

Hey KiloKat you don't happen to have a print out of all the runs last year from the shootout do you? I have been trying to get them from the website but they are having problems with it and want to see if it is a waste of time to bring a boat in.

Re: Going testing this afternoon with Callan Marine
 

Sorry but I do not. I'm not even certain where to advise that you look. Maybe someone on OSO has the official results. Either way, you should run your boat. I'm sure that you would be competitive.

Re: Going testing this afternoon with Callan Marine
 

Yeah it is that whole prop issue it is only a 26ft eliminator and we really need a 38p prop but that is kind of out of the budget, I believe with a 38 we can do possibly 140mph, thanks Love seeing that Bacardi boat of yours going by the Dog although it has been a while?
