Its almost Spring and the board is dead!!
 

what the heck is going on???if it weren't for the bickering and people buying new rides nothing is going on.......is it too early yet? I'm waiting to pull one of my engines (got a Knock) to dang cold here yet. Bought enough parts to build a spair but the blocks been sitting at the machine shop for a month.....Lets talk projects I've got a new set of gauges waiting to go in too but way to cold to wire yet...anyone else staging work for this spring???

I have a lot of things I would LIKE to do. Waiting on a few things work related to happen first. Would like to get a bike (VTX 1800) and do some "freshening up" on the boat. Gotta make sure its in the budget first.:(

That $$$ thing sucks! I really need to add hydraulic steering but the cash just ain't there this year!!

OK, The one on the floor is just back from the engine shop for a cam change. and the one behind it on the stand is next. I'll do it right here.

This should brighten your day. Dave at the dyno couldn't blow up my motor (yet) and it made 681 h.p.@ 5600 rpm, 7 lbs boost. It makes 635@5350 at 5 lbs.

The results:cool:

(no boost:) )

I'm here. I have had a lot of things going on over the winter.

Both engines were pulled and are currently being completely rebuilt with upgraded cams, reprogrammed ECU, and upgraded fuel pumps, etc... I heard from the shop earlier in the week that they may be in by this weekend. Once they are back in next step is to locate and fix a leak somewhere in the steering. Also while the motors where out I had some fiberglass work done.

Once I finally get the boat back I plan on installing replacing the stereo head unit and speakers with ones that I have had lying around from my old truck that I sold last year.

The weather here in Texas has been incredible over the last few weeks with the temps last week in the 70’s. Starting to really get anxious to get her back in the water.

It's Friday...the board is dead on most every friday.

Cool Thats what I'm talkin about!!!Boats lets talk boats!!Hey Mopower looks like you need some bigger engine stands too! Fully dressed they are way over the limit...

Glass work on a Sonic??????I got to hear this.....

Im back
You think this is dead you should check out DooTalk.com thats were Ive been hanging out this winter talking snowmobiles. Those guy's really have nothing to talk about when the snow is gone.
:fish:

Nothing happening here boating wise, looking at the lake thawing.

As usual.

GLH we got open water here! I've even heard that PowerQuest had tested a boat already.....whatch out for icebergs!!

Don, let me know if I can help. The weather has really turned and the itch is from dry skin, not boating:D This really sucks, I am freezing. Next week brings warmer weather and this will help but for now we are in Purgatory, between Sledding and Boating. All I can do is look and dream for now. May be heading to WI to look at the AT, I really like that boat, a lot like the Sonic. Parnell has steering for a good price from the last boat, and tabs. He may give you a deal, it is from the Helm.

Just mention APACHE and things will perk up pretty quickly around here.:p

Fred.... You beat me to it!!!!:D :D

Here we go..........

;) :D :D :D

It's supposed to be for a BB:confused: Although I've had BBs on SB stands that weren't any worse:rolleyes:
I think the only difference with this one is it has 4 feet and wheels and is more stable.

Damn Apaches!!!they always sneek up on ya!!!

I have most of my parts on hand, but it's just been too dang cold to work on the boat!

So where you at Cord???Motor done? motor in? I know you said that you want to try a Blackhalk this year....post some pics will ya?

Well, the drive has been rebuilt, but I havn't picked it up yet. It'll just be in the garage getting damaged. The biggest problem is what I'm going to do for a steering bracket. I have a Warlock bracket from a past project, but it's going to take some real work to get it to fit. Other than it's just small putzy stuff. Pan gasket, muffler tips need to go back to Teague, new engine bay floor, new batteries, change the x-dim....I can see it happening already. The boat won't be done until loto. Just like the last time.

Well, the go fast (30 Spectre w/trips) is ready, but now we are going to Akron, OH tomorrow to by a go slow cruiser for the signifigant others party pleasure. She likes to go slow once and a while. Oh well, at least we can sleep on a cruiser.

Is that a real photo of Lucy with Ben Kramer or is that a photoshop job? Damn if it doesn't look like jail attire.

Looks like he's enjoying the food there too.:D

:D :D :D Damn, rough crowd today:p

I ordered the new cockpit and cabin carpet last night.
By the way, like John Wayne once said (to Ward Bond I believe), the only good injun is a dead injun.

SIX DRIVES!!!!!

Holy crap, thats a lot of drives!!!!

Just joking, read a little funny though for a sec!!!

I hope he means his #6 drives. Either way, that's some serious coin.

Real deal.
It sure is!
Sure does!

IS that on your own home computer, if so what is the program?

XZ's are for whimps. :D:D:D

Wish I had them!!!!

Gawd..I'm not bored..

***Really getting excited for OFFSHORE at St Cloud first week of April..

Temps expected to be in mid 70s to 80s till then....
:D :D :D

Florida Bastages!!snowed like a BIOTCH all the way home!!

I have been picking up some odds and ends....need to get a pair of K&N arresstors yet, put one motor back together then wait till it warms up a bit to get busy......Crazy.....try 10psi and see if you can make 700hp.....what could happen!!!!!:D ....Fred

Fred He's SCEEEEERD! Boost is your friend until it blows up!!

Fred, I could probably get pretty close to 700 with just some adjustments. It's jetted rich right now and could be leaned for more power but I'm not going to run it with the small pulleys anyway. In fact, I'm not even going to run it with the 3.25" pulleys I ran last year. I'm switching to 3.6" pulleys to drop the boost to 3 lbs, about 575 horsepower. I want just enough power to drive past you and your twin cousin Tom, The beakboater.

Work, Work, Work
 

Too busy to be posting. Gotta earn enough to plug this hole in my boat: :D

Looking good!!!!!!!!!!!! ;) :p
