The "SICK" cafe is alive and well !!
 

On my way home checked in on Mike aka Sick Stinger as he was lighting off the cafe before heading to the ramp. Lent a quick hand and wished him good luck i wasnt able to go along for the ride unfortunately. Thanks for the invite though Mike and best of luck really happy for you to see all your hardwork come together !! :evilb:

good to hear, great job mike,

Hoping for a good report tomorrow Mike! :party-smiley-004:

Um props were on wrong prev. Owner decided to spin in like this resin bucket has a shot of turning big numbers come on really but not all a loss shifts excellent runs strong sounds great . Little lifter noise I will be taking care of tomOrrow. Jamie Friday is looking like next ride if you can take you nuts back
-Mike

not gonna lie. we took off our props off this one time. didnt remember which one went on what drive so we guessed. ehhhh didnt go so well hahaha. we couldnt remember if they spun in our out going forward.

We put the hwlm back together on the sutphen 30 took pics evetything put it back and took off from the dock
Right was left and left was right. It was a lwarning experience
Lol

Sh it happens

Just glad you got it worked out mike

Sounds like fall river is a go then!

I'd like to see some pics mike, when you have the chance.

High five mike. Always available if u need co pilot call me, ill b to f.r. in 20.

It's not that I didn't remember I would just think they would be standard rotation it's a big heavy toilet why spin in can't help that much and funny part is Jamie said oh hey make sure the props are turning correct because one has a little walk and I'd he didn't I would have forgot and all would be great. I'm going to check the lifter tick adjust the trailer check fluids again today Friday looks to be next run. I'd say FR is a go!
-Mike

Haha, I haven't done that, YET... but I'm sure I will in time as I always take the props off every time I pull the boat out of the water. All it will take is one good hang over and I'll put them on backwards! :drink:

Great news Mike!!!! So I'll assume you didn't get a chance to flip the props and take it back out?

I'm so happy for you bro! :cool:

Some guys spin them in for more stern lift and in my opinion the boat feels squirelly and sucks to dock. Cafe's love bow lift, spin them out and trim it out the boat will ride like a dream.I used to trim it out as long as I was gaining speed until it porpoises then tuck them in a hair.

Ill be there friday! Lol sometimes you gotta keep the wife happy like when I haven't seen her in four days lol ill talk to you later today. Congrats again bud

Im going to run it as is with the spin in just because its easier to swap props then drives. If its like sh!t then ill do a drive swap. Thanks for the info frank. Also do you thing it will change anyhtign sinc you had bravos?
-Mike

Spinning In Is For Bow Lift............spinning Out Lifts The Stern

Thanks adam Ill take a gander at it this afternoon.
-Mike

Congrats Mike.

Looking forward to seeing it at FR run if not sooner.

Weekend plans?

Possable block if I take care of everything tonight. Another run friday to make sure all is smooth and well.
-Mike

sick my boat has the lowers spinning in, my old one was spinning out. I liked them spinning out better. I intend to swap mine on the 31 soon but they have the low water transom pic ups and they are tapped in on the outside so I will have to deal with that before I can change them.

Going to give it a shot as it sits right now. Pain in the nuts to swap the drives. But if handles like crap and doesnt run some decent numbers ill swap it.
-Mike

I think Buggus had his top gun spinning in and it ran better. Every boat is different you may like in better. It can be as much as 5MPH on some boats. On that thing maybe 2 would be my guess. 302 is correct, in is more bow lift and those boats need as much as they can get.

Audio i agreed so much hull in the water lots of drag
-Mike

Mike, in doing all that work, would be good idea to cut a couple steps in that ole' Cafe! If it works, we'll do Moby next! Hahaha:grinser010:

Well I do have a saw and a 12K lift. Whats the worst that could happen.......
-Mike

I wanna see how tjis turns out!.

Knowing Mikey He might actually take on a job like that. It would be cool to see.

Steps are cut in and 1st run was yesterday with lil red. Still have a valve train tick but other then that all is well. After the run ill tear down the upper end and check it
-Mike

Thats cool mike I am glad your up and running.

Maybe Ill see it over at FR PR if I make it.

You better make it you talk to much sh!t not to go.
-Mike

Any pictures?

Sorry I failed on the pics, I spent most of the trip waching vitals and listening to the twins sing, I already hit my insurance limit on phones this year and figured id drop another one trying to get pics or video from my seat lol

See prior post
James thanks for coming along big appreciation we will do it densest Thursday what's best for you and Friday after work
-Mike

Any time bud, im free any day after tuesday ill be by the shop to check in

Lost eithr a watr pump or a sending unit today but I think it was a water pump. I towd th boat home so I could work on it this week and maybe still make the run.:drink:

I did a pump at the ramp a few weeks back I would hope you can get it fixed in a week, if not just show up to the run early with extra $$$$ and i'll fix it right there lol

Jeff let me know if you need anything see what I can do. But if its that simple you shoould be able to handle it
-Mike

Yeah It should be a pretty easy fix Ive just been swamped with work all of a sudden. this week is going to be even worse for me with work of course because I have somewhere Id like to go.LOL

as long as its only a Wp I should be fine but it was going into gaurdian mode and the engine was staying plenty cool even though it was showing 0.4 for water pressure and 1.4 on plane.

Both pissers were working fine until the last 3 minutes of the day where the port engine slowed to e drip, oddly the starbord smart craft was the one reading low.LOL

Make sure the pisser is not clogged up! I did the water pump one time and later found out a piece of crap got stuck in the hole.

Audio but it went into gaurdian mode???,,,???
-Mike

I was just talking about his other motor. He said that the one that the pisser was not working on was not the one that went into guardian mode. Unless I read that wrong?

Jeff, remove the circulalator pump and put a crossover on instead, that way.............oh, wait, never mind. :lolhit:
