We talked about this, GD was #1 and needed sometime to get things dialed in. Things just didn't work out, it had to be one of the top 3 boats ever built but just didn't get enough hours to play with. There's development on the computer, then development in the real world.

That Mystic you attatched link to looks beautiful! Personally I like 6 seats because being single means I have 5 seats for women, or 4 and a wingman! My odds are much better with 5 than 3 but thats gonna be one awesome ride!!

It did, but then blew the tranny! Here's what happens when I'm being a jackass! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23umOfv6kXc

Instead of watching the laptop, I decided to video tape the speed. What I should've been watching is why the port motor was down 700rpm and 25lbs of fuel psi, still holding 167!!! Only reason it didn't hurt itself was that it was so lean, it didn't have enough temp to burn!

So now I'm back to being McGeek in the boat, just holding the laptop!

Ha ha, it was way less than it should've been, way, way less. Rectified the issue and at the same time, installed the new Dart Pro2 380cc heads! I'll post the graphs so everyone can see.

Here's what we ran at Desert Storm and then with the new Dart Pro 2 heads. You can see the power fell off dramatically. This is also std correction, SAE is 50hp less.

I stand corrected. OL. did do some work to the bottom of My Way. Sorry !!!! The owner still did more that was needed.

OL. did have a chance to do the bottom of Zuperman. The boat whent back for the work, but they chose to put a 3/8 notch in the bottom rear step intead of correcting it the proper way.

Skater is now doing it correct, and that is the end of the story.

The owner is now happy and moving on with things.

I truly wish the trans didn't blow in Jacksonville because many would've seen what they can do. At Desert Storm, we finished putting the motor in at 2am and drove 90mph, umm wait, if there's any cops, we drove 55 to get to havasu We still went 167mph and that only had 1230hp with severe valve float because the wrong push rods were installed, and 1 motor was down 20psi of fuel psi because one of the pumps decided flow was not important!

Also, Justice ran 1075's in KW, it takes race fuel to go along with computer changes, and he plans on using that boat A LOT so 1200's are not really in his plans.[/QUOTE]


You guys seem to have a lot of engine, transmission, belt, pump, pushrod, pressure, etc etc etc issues.
Also. when going that fast. It's a good idea to watch where you are going and not have you eyes on the labtop you know.
Just a couple thoughts !!!!

Never mind, you were talking about Gold Rush.
