Unknown at this time. always looking for sponsors

We are going to do our best to make Biloxi. The boat is a little on the slow side right now. I am not sure if will have the time and money to do what I need before than. I might have just work with what I have.

Congrats Aqua Banshee... Look forward to seeing you at the races.

You SVL guys are CRAZY!

welcome to the fray we have a good group of people , all willing to help get her competitive so bring her to biloxi actuallly I think will and Larry had it running pretty fast but cory didn't like running it that loose
Larry wild ride #51

Thanks everyone. That is why we want to run in SVL is all great people involved.

We got to run a little on Sunday and ran out prop. I got a 30 5 blade to try soon as it warms up some. with the 29" I was at 82mph hitting the rev limiter and no trim. I am starting to question what gears are in it?


Loose is fast just the way I like things.

I don't know if I will need to, or have time to move, and raise the motor back in the boat.

Aqua - best of luck to you! I had written that boat off due to the history then just last night I heard more about and put it back on the list. Of course only to find out that its sold! Should be a great boat for you when you get it sorted out.

Back to the hunt....

Oh and by the way that Skater cult's got nothin' the phantom cult!!! i swear half you guys can rattle off the history of each boat w/o blinking!!! LOL

This boat has proven fast on occasion.....it's got a flag or two and has run in the 90's on several occasions. I know it took 3rd in Toronto a couple of years ago in a big class. ALL these boats are fast if you got the balls to hang it out there.....

Im thinking you have the 1:65 gears in it if you are doing 82 with a 29 pitch. The quickest way to see what gears you have is to put your motor at top dead center on the harmonic balance and with a breaker bar rotate the motor one complete revolution while someone else is watching the prop turn. It should turn 1 1/2 times for a 1:50 ratio. Good luck.

I am pretty sure cory ran 1.65 and actually the gear ratio is a reduction so for a 1.50 gear one revolution of crankshaft would be a 240 degree propshaft rotation, and a 1.65 would be a 218 degree prop rotation ( I have used a camshaft degree wheel mounted on propshaft for this) . conversely you could ( since the harmonic balancer is degreed) you could rotate engine in gear of course till propshaft makes one complete rev if engine turns one and half times ( top dead center to tdc than 180) it is a 1.50 , if goes to 218 on balancer it is a 1.65

just for ref at the rev limit with the 29 and 1.65 you are in the 10% slip range
