Well we have that concern but I am also I nervous about any batteries flying out and coming my way.......be sure to grab an extra bungy cord before you leave the dock:party-smiley-004:

Hahahahaha!!!! Oh sh!t, I forgot I told you about that! Hahahaha...........Batteries are also not good for the environment. An extra bungy cord it is! :lolhit:

Scot here is quick clip it is a different set up then running a big heavy V I will need to fine tune my driving.

you can definately hear that thing barking in the the video you posted. Mine does that too if I have the bracket up where it likes it but then loads and unloads, Its still faster that way but its hard on parts so I sink the bracket more now Id rather give up a little top end and have it live.

Where do you have it trimmed (drive placement) while your barking like that?

It's trimmed to 3-31/2. It does not do it in flat or choppy water either. It was just in the rollers. The cafe carried the nose really high and no notch in the transom so the back end never skipped it was either in or out. I will play around with it I didnt notice it as much until I saw the clip. The thing sounds so sweet after 4,000 all you here are those blowers spooling up. I still have 400 rpms left. But for know I am not gonna kill it so it's not crazy expensive to do the freshen ups in the fall.

I guess none of that comes as any surprise. I suspect the x is considerably higher than on your old boat and probably accounts for most of the difference when it comes in and out of the water.

:lolhit:


I can only watch it on my iphone at the momment, but it looks and sounds really good to me. :cool: Although, with the ****ty sound quality on my phone, I cant really hear the 'barking' in question.


It might just be that you're not all that use to being in the open water rollers. I know they throw me off as we typically deal with a lot more chop and confused water inside LIS. Either way, from what I can tell it doesn't sound like you're really surfacing the props all that hard in the video, but again it's probably hard to tell watching it on the cell phone.

That new rig of yours is a pretty big step up, so it will no doubt take some seat time to get use to it (same here too)... but it looks as though you're definitely getting there! :cool:

Sounds like Magoo and Tigger may be set up very similar. When we ( Magoo and Moby) went out early in the season, I could hear his engines barking while riding next to him, with a 1 foot chop or so. Jeffs advantage is he can just lower his hydraulic jack plate and problem solved. Maybe Jeff will take you out in Magoo so you could watch him handle a boat set up like you two have? Just my .02 :party-smiley-004:

They may be set up similar but I look cooler doing...no??????:coolcowboy:

The Carerra was good for that spun the props all the time
-Mike

Now that I think of it a boat that has a setup more similar to Magoo would be this porpising vessel watch the video at 1:45 and hang on.

WARNING*** If you easily become sea sick you may want to to take some dramamine before watching

Why is it everything is benchmarked against Magoo??? Sounds like you guys are jealous! :party-smiley-004:

Against Magoo? No, the vid Frank posted was againt 54!....that Winni the Poo lovin MF'er !!!!! Listen, we can't really break Magoos balls cause he actually uses his boat.......Magoo, you going to take the boat out Sunday? :party-smiley-004:

I dont know Kev, it seems we are always comparing everything to Magoo and Jeff is constantly comparing Magoo to everything else (and proving to us how it's better)... so it would seem Magoo is the benchmark all other offshore boats should be compared to... :bigbird:

I am not sure Scot but I think this may have been a shot at you:eek:

I believe you might be right. I just have too much time and money into my boat to use it! :drink:

You think?? I mean, all that time and all that money, and it doesnt even go out on the 4th of July weekend? I mean really! You were right frank, who would take a fairy to BI, when you could take an Outerlimits???? Scot, too much time spent working, and not enough work on the boat! Priorities are ALL f'd up. Were not happy about all this Scot......:bsflag:

I think we are wrong they are taking the "Outerlimits" to Block

Wait, I dont see Scot on the boat! Oh, there he is! hahahaha......:angry-smiley-038:

LOL, too funny!!!

I'm planning on taking the boat out on Sat. for a test run to see if everything is alright. Hopefully all is well, but I'm still very skeptical about the one sea pump. Eitherway, I'm not so sure it's wise to take it over to Block on Sunday until it's somewhat proven. If you or Frank would like to provide the ride over to Block for Sunday, that sounds wonderful... ;)

No, not sure mine will make it to Block...........:eek: Hahahaha

scot can take the ferry over to block if he wants none of us will hold it against him !:party-smiley-004:

What Jay Fan is going too? My father in law is going for surgery Friday so my weekend plans are tough, but who knows. My biggest problem is the place to leave my boat. Place will be packed. Oh well if not this time we will have to plan it again for the future!

Wow.....a lot going on here today. Very funny stuff.....! :lolhit:

A buddy of mine wants to go over Friday/Saturday but I'm not seeing it. Jen called both Champlins and Paynes, and Paynes doesn't take resevations, and Champlins has a "3 night minimum stay" they said. Plus....too many drunk morons over there on the 4th for me. I'll do it any other weekend.......

We'll be out and about all weekend.......just not sure where! (We may just go to Greenport Friday and stay over). :drink:

Honestly given the crew that's going and knowing what's being planned (beach and bars), it seems a lot easier / safer to just take the ferry (sorry Kev)... especially given the crowds, federalies, my future BAC, other drunks/boats, plans, and the logistics of dealing with the boat.

As soon as I know my boat is all set, I'm 100% up for a trip back over there on a less crowded day, but I dont know that it makes much sense for this Sunday.


BTW, another great avatar Frank! :drink:

Scot let me know im down. I need to dip my b!tch and see how she runs hopefully shifts
-Mike

Mike, I heard some rumbling late last night from the east... Any news for us??? :coolcowboy:

What a bowl of Sh1T
-Mike

:eek:.......that doesnt sound good! What happened? :party-smiley-004:

Is it going for a swim today Mike?????? :eek:

BTW, if you confirm you're not getting any output from those alternators (probably not connected correctly), electrically disconnect them for the test run today so you dont potentially cause some damage, then go back and find the problem...

Said it before I'll say it again, outboards!

Seriously Miley what's the problem maybe one of us can help

Your Face to start with
-Mike

hahahahahahahahahaha......I didnt think the outboard comment was gonna go over well at this point! But Im sure Mike appriciates your " help" Jeff.:grinser010: Always nice to have Jeffs support! :lolhit:

Why just cause it is Soooo. Much better than yours!
Dick, I mean mike

If it had ever seen water I'd suggest sinking it after that comment!

Its tough to sink it in the GARAGE though lol:party-smiley-004:

I could sink you in a toilet care to see.
-Mike

There is a good reason why they can run outboards in a garbage can.:drink::drink:

Nice avitar Mike, these avitars are gettin CRAZY! Scot, you havent changed yours lately!!!! I think its time. Mike, that thing get splashed? :party-smiley-004:

Another great avitar, Jeff you seem to be a target lately. I think it may be your "subtle, innocent, helpful comments that may be getting put up on a pedestal.....kinda like Gov Malloy! :lolhit:

Never compare me to a democrat!
Thats where I draw the line!:eek: LOL Actually poloticians for the most part are ALL AZZ bags

Well that or that little gay boy from the land of M*******S who cant get his boat running! for 2 months :evilb:

Ever notice he always resorts to his latent homosexual desires in his posts. Thats cause he cant compete without it.

While everyone else has repeatedly come up with cool and interesting stuff he just goes back to what he knows best, BEING GAY!:angry-smiley-038:
Feeble attempt mike!

Hes probably hoping that if he posts it enough no one will notice hes a little limp wristed himself.

I wouldnt normally bring a post here but you asked for it mikey!

ALL you guys have a fun, safe 4th of July weekend. :drink:
