32 Skater Agitator 1st Day Testing
 
1st day on the lake went like this. boat ran great still testing props ran 132 mph w/17x31 3 blade cleavers 1.25 gears @6300 rpm at 3/4 throttle had to back off because of 35psi water pressure. will post results after water pressure problem is corrected. i think it has a 140 mph pass in it. runs a lot better with 1200hp blower motors then with 650hp small blocks seeya!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats, its been a long time coming. Let me know if you need some water pressure control valves. My buddy has several made up and they worked great on the Carrera. Cheap and easy to do.

Or when ALLAN4 had to get towed in by a Skater with crash boxes:D

timucin 06-10-2003 12:37 PM

cool!
excellent boat ,excellent speed!
:):):):)

merlin540 06-10-2003 01:46 PM

THANKS GUYS I AM PLEASED WITH BOATS PERFORMANCE. I WILL POST RESULTS FROM DAY 3 WE HAVE A SET OF 16.5 31 4 BLADES TO TRY NEXT. I THINK THEY WILL HAVE LESS SLIP ON TOP END. HOPE TO SEE 140MPH. I WILL KEEP YOU POSTED. THE PROBLEM WITH THE LAKE THAT WE TEST ON IS THAT ITS JUST NOT BIG ENOUGH TO STRING THEM OUT ON TOP END. WITH THE 3 BLADES IT DIDNT TAKE IT LONG TO GET THERE AND IT WASNT TOPPED OUT. SEE YA.:crazy:

WETTE VETTE 06-10-2003 02:18 PM

Nice job!!!
And it even passes all 50 states niose laws right!!!:p

Allan4 06-10-2003 09:39 PM

That thing is flat out wicked!!

I'll tall ya, if I had to be towed in by a boat, it may as well be one that sprays av gas fumes all over me while being towed to the dock....:D :D ;)

I think the most impressive thing was not only did I watch it go 137gps, but then he towed me about 10 minutes with NO blower surge and NO loading up and NO needing to pull out of gear....AND on crash boxes!! Idled just like a stock 454. IMPRESSIVE!!!!

Talk about nailing a setup!! Awesome job Charlie.

Swapped ign boxes and coil and the boat ran fine tonight at Brookville. Not quite 137, but I'm working on it....:D :D :D

How's that saying go...."It's not the fastest boat that wins, but it's the boat who crosses the finish line first...."

merlin540 06-10-2003 11:58 PM

no allen to finish first you must first finish:crazy:

Allan4 06-11-2003 10:04 AM

Oh, okay....I knew it was something like that......HeHeHe.....

Eman 06-11-2003 10:45 PM

IMPRESSIVE!!!!
 
I was only kiddin about the windshield:D I'm ready to get my freakin head ripped off. On a serious note... Way to go Charlie. Be carefulllllll. CeeeeeeeeeeeeeYa E
