Dry Sump Drives Are The Way To Go ///Uses Less HP Than The Wet Sump///// No If Ands Or Butts///go with a dry sump

Re: Dry sump vs. Wet sump #6s
 

Yeah yours :D

Re: Dry sump vs. Wet sump #6s
 

I know they are better but how much better?

Re: Dry sump vs. Wet sump #6s
 

i thought you knew everything...

Re: Dry sump vs. Wet sump #6s
 

I do ............almost :D

Re: Dry sump vs. Wet sump #6s
 

From my understanding at least 5 mph. However, it depends on your prop set up as well. If you are already at the rev limiters you will see zip improvement.

Re: Dry sump vs. Wet sump #6s
 

I read somewhere that the swept skeg really only helps at high speeds, 95-100 +.... And on lake champlain at that speed you were hardly in the water and Byrd was holding on for dear life...:D

Re: Dry sump vs. Wet sump #6s
 

i better ask z all my important questions......

Re: Dry sump vs. Wet sump #6s
 

Herring quoted $2200 to do the conversion on the early style.
The skeg and bullet is actually thicker on the early non dry sumps. My understanding is going to the swept back is good for about 3mph up top. Dont know what the dry sumps are worth in speed.


Oh yeah JC thanks for those early style converted dry sump 6,s ya sold me last night from that Dude in Va. Sh@t! I hope He,s not a member here. :evilb: :D

Re: Dry sump vs. Wet sump #6s

The guy in the picture looks like the guy that bought the black and blue 27 Progression JC. T- Mones buddy!!!!

I hope the Progresssion does not turn into that!

Re: Dry sump vs. Wet sump #6s
 

He will Take It!!!

LMAO... You've got me ...I've got no response for that!!! :drink: :drink: Is that your buddy Mascara in the picture?? :D

Re: Dry sump vs. Wet sump #6s
 

Your not putting 6s on Fever are ya????

Motely Crew ran the 6s off Kurt's old CUV race boat with the old style skeg. Go figure. Not sure if they were dry sumped or not, but they were defently old and well broken in before they got them.

Re: Dry sump vs. Wet sump #6s
 

Bravos are on Fever now :cool: I am debating shooting the lock off my wallet and buying a dry sump 6 for my boat. :D

Re: Dry sump vs. Wet sump #6s
 

Debating??? I thought you took take of that already.

What's going in the old Dragon Lady? That was the very first canopy boat in B class. I think the only US canopy vee prior to then was Inxs.

A 1994 Fountain hull still racing. This should be an interesting year with OPA sounds like a lot of interesting equipment is getting ready.

Re: Dry sump vs. Wet sump #6s
 

I have the 6 on my boat.It is a wet sump.If i could pick up a substantial gain going to dry sump i would do it.The Dragon Lady boat is turn key with 750 Supercat motors and dry sump 6s.It is ready for P2 action in OPA.It will be called "Armed and Dangerous" in memory of Al.Rumor has it that Peter Meyer might be racing the 40 Fountain in P2 also. :cool:

Re: Dry sump vs. Wet sump #6s
 

You'll need "ultra, mega dry sumps" to hang with the E-dockers... :evilb: :D
















but I commend the effort! :evilb: :D

This little Activator will be like a Misquito buzzing around your head.You know its there and it gets annoying :eek: :evilb: :evilb: OUcant outrun a single engine boat? :drink: :drink:

Re: Dry sump vs. Wet sump #6s
 

[QUOTE=JCPERF]well, my boat is still down in ft. myers getting "tested" (read "flogged") by Nor tech... :rolleyes: So I guess you're right.

You have to look out for the new 42mti though, he's hungry for bird!!

Re: Dry sump vs. Wet sump #6s
 

Keep chewing. :p Byrd is going wild like a *** in boystown on this boat.It will dominate :cool: :evilb:

Re: Dry sump vs. Wet sump #6s
 

I don't think you'll get much in a single application and less in ocean water. Who you hunting for anyhow? :D

Armed and Dangerous, last time I saw them race was in 94 when Fever almost landed in thier cockpit coming around a turn.

I heard Bob Oliver is all over Pete to get Instigator ready. Now that should be a good team.

What are you running, your Activator or Fever?

Re: Dry sump vs. Wet sump #6s
 

I will mainly run my Activator.We will run Fever in a couple of races.I will run it with Joe Sgro.Joe Latona will be at the races as an advisor :drink: :drink: I was in Fever when we almost hit Armed and Dangerous in 93 FT lauderdale :cool:

Re: Dry sump vs. Wet sump #6s
 

On a 32 skater I had with wet sumps and a round skeg, about 139mph the ass end would start to move around. Jerry Gilbreath told me to convert to dry as well as a Herring swep skeg. Not only did it haul ass, but went straight as an arrow. He once told me that he found on the race boats that had round skegs back then, the ones that he at least ran, had handling issues at about 130. Cats that is. BTW, the price to convert to a swep skeg with herring, is a bit more then what's been posted.

Re: Dry sump vs. Wet sump #6s
 

I have a 32 skater with 800sc's and wet #6's that gets a little hairy over 125mph as well. I seldom go that fast so would not be benificial for me to convert to dry sumps & swept back, but good info to know. Very easy to cruise all day 4000rpm=100mph, wife prefers I stay under 100, also safer with 4 people on board.

Re: Dry sump vs. Wet sump #6s
 

Get a hold of ScottB he has a #6 for sale at a very good price. You should talk to Craig Colabella about the difference in conversion numbers. When he was our crew chief he was doing conversions for a lot of the race teams so I am sure he's got the numbers.

if you do, can you tell her to make me a corned beef on rye with mustard, and a beer too.... make sure she has something sexy on when she comes up.. thanks pal....

Re: Dry sump vs. Wet sump #6s
 

Yup, it was the Worlds in Ft Lauderdale. I guess it was as close as it looked. South end turn...

You sure it wasn't 94? I could almost bet on it.

Re: Dry sump vs. Wet sump #6s
 

JC,

Not really sure how much of a speed difference there would be but there will definitely be a difference compared to an older #6 compared to a drysump/swept back skeg #6. Not sure what the cost difference would be but if you can do it for minimal then go with the dry sump and the swept back skeg. I think Herring makes swept back skegs for the older sixes. Hope that helps you a liitle.

Re: Dry sump vs. Wet sump #6s
 

93 for a 100 wink :D

Re: Dry sump vs. Wet sump #6s
 

douch bag how was the ride back?? :D

Re: Dry sump vs. Wet sump #6s
