OHHHHHHHHHH that's cool.... We have a set of 1850 hp turbines ready for installation.

Nice work Doug!!

Re: 43' Doug Wright pics

Re: 43' Doug Wright pics
 

if it performs like its little brother its gonna be a force to recon with watch out mti/skater

Re: 43' Doug Wright pics
 

Nice.......
What is the status of the open cockpit 32? Obviously the focus is still on the canopy race boats but are they going to do one of those again?

Re: 43' Doug Wright pics
 

Dougs so he says, is about 4 weeks away from finishing the first open cockpit 32. I'm thinking more like 6 weeks to be safe. The 43 looks great, and I'm betting it's gonna run like a Banshe. Not bad for a old surfboard tooler.

Re: 43' Doug Wright pics
 

Greg. what's the scoop? You still in on this or what??

Re: 43' Doug Wright pics
 

Bad looking boat with rudder set up, think JT's first 43 will be a 1075 and 6 boat, we are just waiting patiently for the 35 pleasure in a sterndrive configuration, will be next year, cant wait to see how the 2 new 32's with big power perform at the loto shootout, 2400 lbs with twin 1000hp twin turbos, the thing make take off like a plane, doug is really on the cutting edge, his boats will definately be a force on the race circuit.

Re: 43' Doug Wright pics
 

when is the date of the Shoot Out?

Re: 43' Doug Wright pics
 

Last weekend in August.........dates.........err........24-26th.....I think. :rolleyes:

Re: 43' Doug Wright pics
 

I wanna make it up there for it sometime!!!

Re: 43' Doug Wright pics
 

It's paid in full, just waiting for Doug to finish. Motors and drives are almost ready, Myco finished the trailer, were looking good. I'm having so much fun in my CC, a bit of lagging is OK. I can say this, Doud Wright is a great boat builder to deal with. Nice guy, good ideas(up untill the 68 gallon fuel tanks to supply 1200 hp), just kidding Doug, and always returns your phone calls. I'm so comfortable with him, I have not even gone down there to check on him. With this said, it now will not be finished untill December.
How about a Havasu run the 13th of July?

Re: 43' Doug Wright pics
 

I can't see how mine will be ready for LOTO. Will have to see, but time frame aint looking good. I don't think he has the extension done on mine, and Dougs making bigger tanks for mine also. I'm looking forward to having a great little rocket for Havasu. If it's not ready, there's always next year.

Re: 43' Doug Wright pics
 

Ryan, come on down to the shootout, We got plenty of room for you. poker run friday 25th, races 26th and 27th, hoping to get one of the new peoud 32 owners to take a pass at the shootout, i told doug they would have a free place to stay, dock space and anheiser Busch complimentary vip passes to top of shooters with free beverages,. A/c Bud girls, etc. would like to see how they perform, I think they could set a real mark with such a fast accelerating boat at 2400lbs,are both the new sterndrives the chop top versons, wiggler

Re: 43' Doug Wright pics
 

Last I heard you were being a little biatch and backing out of the deal? What's the matter, Carson not giving you a refund for the motors because he's tired of you changing your mind every other day? Glad to hear that you pulled your balls back out of your purse and are pulling the trigger after all, at least for today anyway!

Re: 43' Doug Wright pics
 

Gregg, you know I'm in the middle of a starboard side re-build so no havasu on the 13th for me. I want to get out there one weekend and run with Bobbit on Risky Business soon though :drink:

Bring that CC down here and let's run it out of C.I. :cool:

By the way, pick up the next issue of PBM...Graphics are done, came out NICE!! :drink:

Re: 43' Doug Wright pics
 

wow

Re: 43' Doug Wright pics
 

2,400 lbs and twin 1,000 hp engines. So the boat will have 2.4 lbs per hp??

If that could be true, it would be the fastest of its size ever built.

Then again, the power in the boat itself would weigh more than the 2,400 lbs you have stated.

I think you are way off base with these post.

Re: 43' Doug Wright pics
 

He's just angry his ass is to fat to fit in his seat anymore. You would figure shoe horning his fat ass in to the drivers seat would help out keeping him in it while the 6 foot porpoise is happening in the 30 Spectre.

Re: 43' Doug Wright pics
 

Yeah, I wondered about those #'s too? :rolleyes:

Re: 43' Doug Wright pics
 

boat is 2400lbs without power per Doug himself, 2 sterndrives range from 900-1200pounds each in bravo configuration, the 2 boats with big power 1 with 1,000's and the other with 1100's will weigh in totally rigged at close to 5500lbs with merc 6's . I thought everyone surely understood that was the boat weigh only at 2,400 pounds, still with 2000-2200hp you guys do the math. I still believe your thinking is correct. go easy on Sean , the man is boatless.wiggler

Re: 43' Doug Wright pics
 

they aren't making fun of me, i know how to add.... :drink:

2400 + 3400 + rigging is gonna be more than 5500 lbs... :rolleyes:

Re: 43' Doug Wright pics
 

Now that’s funny coming from a guy with a waste the size of the Hindenburg. Try looking in the mirror sometime Dough Boy. By the way, Victoria Secret called and said your new custom sized extra huge girdle is in. Go put the box of Twinkies down, suck it in and get back on Carson’s nuts.

Re: 43' Doug Wright pics
 

With 1000 hp the owner should not use a Bravo outdrive so the Speedmaster drive units and engines will weigh more than your estimates.

A set of Super Cat engines and SSM#6 with rigging have a weight of #4500 lbs.

So a 1,000 hp blower motor weighs more, but none the less, the boat would have to weight 6,900 lbs minimum no frills no interior, stereo, etc..

Re: 43' Doug Wright pics
 

Who owns the TWO I/O boats that are gonna be at the shootout?

A twin OB 32 race boat weighs 4300lbs race ready ant thats with 2 motors that weigh 375lbs each.

Re: 43' Doug Wright pics
 

SOUNDS LIKE i'M A LITTLE SHY, 3600CAT AND SEAN H. EDUCATED ME TODAY, i GUESS WITH TRANNIES, HEADERS STRAINERS, RIGGING ETC, 4500# IS PROBABLY PRETTY CLOSE. BOAT SHOULD BE AROUND 6600-7,000, LBS WITH SPEEDMASTER'S AND BIG CUBE MOTORS, STILL EXCITED TO SEE AT LEAST 1 OF THE 32'S IF DOUG CAN GET THE BUSTLE AND GAS TANKS DONE, ANYWAY HOPE TO SEE YOU GUYS AT LOTO.
