Re: Speed racer
 

How much in fuel to run that thing for the day? :eek:

Re: Speed racer
 

I'd rather buy the fuel than the paint job.

Re: Speed racer
 

not sure where it was taken

Re: Speed racer

You only buy the paint once.

Fuel for that beast is eternity.

Re: Speed racer
 

Just wondering. Do you have to drain out the fuel tanks when you tilt the trailer? Would make for a pain at the end of a run.

Re: Speed racer
 

Um... would there be any fuel left??
:evilb: :D

Re: Speed racer
 

oh yeah!!!!!! :drink: :evilb:

Re: Speed racer
 

you have to rig the boat to vent to the high side so you don't have issues like that.... :drink:

Re: Speed racer
 

Sean, I'm gonna open myself up to all kinds of comments on this, But, CAN YOU DO THAT?????

I mean, I guess you could with the fuel tanks, and have check valve's so they don't flow to one another.
But engine oils, hydraulic fluid, and every other liquid.????

Ok, help me out on this one, sometimes only a stupid person asks a smart question.
What IS required to haul a boat on it's side like that??

I still say if I had the chance, I'd have run all the fuel out and got towed back to the launch ramp :evilb:

Re: Speed racer
 

Cool question. Never really thought about it. :cool:

Re: Speed racer
 

I have thought about that before but came to this conclusion.

One, if things leaked like that just from a boat going on its side they are going to leak from the vibration and g's that they receive from everyday usage, so I am sure if they leaked once, they fixed it.

Two, if you are hauling a boat on its side like that, it is probably getting some of the best attention that a boat can get by its owners...riggers...etc so I am sure its as tight as a frogs ass. :D

Three, the only other thing I can think of is that I am sure as soon as you set the boat down I am sure you don't want to fire it right up, you might want to let the oil hit the bottom of the pan first, but other then that I would say it should all be fine.

Of coarse I could be completely wrong to but I have also pondered this before and that's what I came up with. Its not like they are putting a bayliner up on its side or there would be a big mess in the bilge. :D These are high dollar aqua toys. :cool:

Re: Speed racer
 

most of these boats are dry sumped engines, so there is very little oil in the actual engine so that eliminates most of the issues, the rest of the fluids seem not be a big deal as i have seen boats go from tilt to flat and into water and back out again onto the trailer with nothing more than you would usually do on a boat.... i wouldnt top it off with fuel if you were going to haul it that way, more to do with the weight than anything...

Re: Speed racer
 

I was just thinking about this yesterday. cool to know.

Re: Speed racer
 

I have tilted many of them. Never seen any fluid leakage. I agree with Sean that filling the fuel tank would not be the best idea.

Re: Speed racer
 

That was a fun day?! :eek:

Re: Speed racer
 

You haven't tilted chit! :drink: Got the time? :evilb:

Re: Speed racer
 

Except for OU losing :( :chimp:

Re: Speed racer
 

11:02 CST is the time. In a couple of weeks I will be able to DOUBLE CHECK that for ya!!!! :drink: :D :cool:

Re: Speed racer
 

Dirty Duck had a tilt trailer with 525's. How did they deal with the oil in that boat?

Re: Speed racer
 

Do the tilt trailers have less width to them compared to an equal length v bottom trailer? I'm sure they're very stable around corners and such, otherwise they wouldn't make them, but they just appear to look narrow and top heavy with the boat being on it's side. I guess just looking at it makes me nervous with the whole center of gravity and balance thing... :D

Re: Speed racer
 

Mean Green! :D

Re: Speed racer
 

i wish had the audio from your boat bub....."OH CHIT!!" :drink:

Re: Speed racer
 

No you don't :evilb: That gets rough on an old fat boy :rolleyes: :chick:
