Danny Boy :drink:

Danny that is true you never know with John, I look at it as if he finishes the cabin then he will keep it, since he hasn't had a boat with the cabin finished. The Kryptonite is a sweet ride and you know if John gets his hands on a boat it will only be better, lol:evilb::evilb::evilb:

Alright I'm working on the cabin. I came up with this idea for the "corners" in the cabin area. You guys know how the area (to the left and right) kind of rounds off when you first enter the cabin. It leaves a small area at the bulkead that I thought would make a good fender/dockline storage area. I hate having to get my passengers up off the backseat to get the fenders and docklines out...they always get in the way. This way I figure me, my wife, or whoever can just walk in the cabin and grab whats needed. Here is a mock up of the fender holders I scored on ebay. The guy said they were a one off piece he had built but the customer backed out on using them. Anyway they are billet and very nice. I gotta come up with an idea to hold the docklines next. Probably just a couple hooks or something next to the holders so they can hang and dry.

DonRoc 01-06-2010 05:48 PM

Really nice holders. Great idea. I hate moving people off the back seat . So I put my fenders in the cabin also,

Philm 01-07-2010 11:32 AM

Those are pretty sweet John.:drink:

I think that will be a good spot for them, i was planning on mounting a set of fender holders on the inside of the engine compartment, but now that I think about it, it really is a pain in the ass to get people to move out of the way.

Gary D 01-07-2010 05:20 PM

Dam John you always come up with some killer ideas. I don't have to worry about that since under my back seats are open but that is a sweet idea... :Score-101010:

Figures I buy these then these show up in the classies....there even purple too http://www.offshoreonly.com/classifi...o32337-en.html Just a heads up if anybody else wants to do the same. He has four of them. If you don't like the purple I'd be willing to trade mine.........

I do like the molded steps for the cabin door. I know Superboat and Joker both do it. Might have to look into it.

that boat kicked azz in f1 in the cape cod race in 02, I blew my bolster a part and was forced out of the race by my navigator he said he was tired of me bouncing around like a super ball with a piece of metal sticking out of the gunnel kind of behind me. I said no problem I got a lifeline on:evilb:, put then Iwas landing on him to. we did make it to 2nd place before I pulled out. I think the bat boats pulled out cause we never say them after the start even when we pulled out we were in the middle of the coarse. where others pulled out. was it your boat or fastto funs new boat that raced in 02?

Been working my balls off , in fact hull sides and bottom are painted , reall working hard on deck before we paint. Any changes to your boat this winter ?

Larry

R Addiction 02-17-2010 11:37 AM

No, not yet, maybe. Having the drive looked at (maintenance 480+ hours) may need a clutch. Looking at a few things but nothing serious til I get a job!

KEVLARKAT32 02-17-2010 05:55 PM

Do it yourself , they are a joke to rebuild , I rebuilt the B-1 on that hunk chit Avanti .

Engines are done intercoolers and blowers installed ... Going to the dyno on monday for a safe tune. got to plumb the boat for intercooler sea strainers and install transom pickups. Should be ready by the time weather breaks . If not who really cares ... Got friends with boats .lol

R Addiction 02-19-2010 09:53 PM

Friends with boats......sounds like a country music song!:grinser010:

Philm 02-25-2010 08:52 AM

No news on my motor yet, Rudy is in Florida for at least the rest of the week without his cell phone. Maybe I could just sell the motor and put one of them there shorty turbines in.... With a few more gas tanks.:party-smiley-004:

jdub 02-25-2010 09:09 AM

That's a good idea....but I think you'll have to sell more than the motor :eek: I haven't even called. Been busy with this snow and it looks like we got some more coming!

Philm 02-25-2010 11:57 AM

I could sell my girlfriend, not sure who would take her though....:party-smiley-004: Dont tell her I said that....
