Jer,
Timmy and I will be calling soon... We both want it!! Due to women relationships we cant use it all the time...... So, I think we can share it..... Plus we have Ronny to keep here clean.......... :)

Good one JR!!

Cool !

Well .... I see this thread stopped dead in it's tracks .... must have sent in a deposit on a new one .... I haven;t talked to Doug in a while .... I'll wait until the weekend to call since he's probably busy sprayin gel today ?!?!?!?

was just at the factory monday - i saw the molds but nothing in them.
i would love to see a new saber being built!

So Artie, where is this motor that is suppose to make Saber known again? :party-smiley-004:

And you didnt call ??

hey whats up ,talked to Dean to day shooting for dyno in 2 weeks, if things go good on a ford there working on. can't believes its been 6 months since I bought the boat. well we are going a head with putting the drive box on and stuff so after the motor gets here we will just have to figure out if a scoop will work or whole new hatch:eek:, then tails need to be made and plumbing and elec and so on. so I hope to have pics in 2 weeks later.

Marc, I am sorry. we orginally planned on coming up the 3rd but we had a change of plans and got into town at 11:00 PM sunday - grabbed the boat and flew back home. I do feel bad. I will be back to Grand Rapids again in the near future.

I wouldn't hold my breath
NK

Ya think !?!?!? :lolhit:

How's it goin buddy ?

Well????? What did the dyno numbers look like?

I left a pm and phone message, with Gellner's monday so hope to here good news, cause 6 months of end of the month has gone to far for a motor that surrpost to be ready last july aug after I let the may date go by.I will be upset if its not done before may and will just go camp out there with mike or someone that has a truck. this is beyond stupid he just needed to put it together spend one week going that and 3days on the dyno. I am going to put his name on the side of the boat if I GET TO THE RACES if I have to pick up parts then its my local guy I will use and use to use

Good Jerry How about you? Can't wait for summer Hope the red rocket runs good all year
I was just watching the video of you throttling your head off at smoke with that trimming challenge riding in the back waving at the camera Worlds funnest run as far as I am concerned

Parnell

Hope you're well and good luck!

Thanks no such luck, going in for a MRI this week on the shoulder and the knee replacement sucks if I knew my motor was not going to be ready this winter guess that what happens when you pay up front. I would of had my knee replacement reworked take out the knee cap thats nexted cause they glue a plate on your real knee cap 1st:grinser010:, which I said would not work. but I am going to run that motor 1st so it looks like more knee and shoulder surgery this fall.:angry-smiley-038:. was just told 2nd week of may now for motor broken promises thats my life.

Run the 650/509 drop it tp jimmy quick fresh up have deen send you on of your carbs run that bad bitc for now atleast you will be on the water. Plus you need to have tails made so use the 650 as mock up and work around that be a nice plug and play swap out since the smalll motor tails are already there. When we pickin it up?
-Mike

That's what I'm talking about :grinser010: Get that thing on the water.

What are they telling you now about the new motor????

That its now become an Antique piece and should be put in a museum for preservation because of how old it is.
-Mike

was told 2nd week of may now:picard1::picard1: it should be phuck everyone else's will be to, they got my money over a year ago and then telling me since dec next month is nuts. so I am going to drive out there end of second week and stay until its finished. if I did put the 509 in it would stay in and I would sell the other nightmare motor. and will never use a builder more than a 2 hour drive. theres a guy in maine that does all his motors in weeks DYNOED JIM DORRand he does everything he was my other choice:lolhit: or my old builder Jim Ried who has built sound nice offshore race motors starting back in the 80s for A,B,D CLASSES and builds a nice 509 and 598 na motors. just bought a water pump from Tres thanks.

Hope you can make Ocean City.

me to but we need weeks to rig stuff make a motor hatch, got to wait for tails for the headers to be made that alone could take 2 to 4 weeks after the motor is lined up. it just sucks this motor should have been done last summer oct the latest. just done give them chit until you see work being done.

Well???? 2nd week of May is here....what's the word now?

hey pal :musik010: WELL today I was told a week from thursday on the dyno I guess is good but, I was at the Docs today for my shoulders, had a mri 2 weeks ago I have tears in them plus worn joints BUT the left has gotten real bad so mri shows it a complete torn a part no hope without a MAJOR surgery the sooner the better, I said so oct right:bigbird:. and the knee doc wants to see me since thats not better they might have to take the knee cap which has a plate on the surface side and put a complete fake one in. which I would of pushed for over the winter if I knew my motor was not going to be ready last dec or jan. and the boat would have been stored inside for the winter instead of out side wear someone keyed the red paint design.:angry-smiley-038: I plan on touching it up but next spring I want to paint it red with silver and blackbreak strips. and have ppimake the front seats fatter and taller and do the in out. if I can make a boxed in area so Ican cut the bulkhead to put my feet threw with 45 degree plate to put your feet on so I can run it sitting more. this will be a boat Iwill have for rest of my life. its just made with so much detail glass work is unreal. the glass guy who is hitting 60 said it looks like the builders had a passion speared no expense on the cost or time it took to make. if it makes 1200hp the motor and the new X is spot on this boat might be a 105 to 110mph single. if the 32p spins over 6000rpm to 6400 it should be there.:coolcowboy:

hey got off track john haha but either way with theshoulder and knee I will try to put it off till oct also I have and need a mri on my left foot, I had twisted my ankle so theleft part of my foot either torn something 6 weeks ago and its bad but I take pain meds for the knee so it kind of takes the edge off all three not pain free by a long shot. so Imay get that looked at two. chit I want to race so bad and plan to do a couple cause with both knees gone shoulders gone and the 5 disks they only bother me when I sit , stand, drive for more than a hour or lay down to sleep more than 6 hours. other wise it doesn't hurt. Ihave been picking bikes up for my bro inlaws dealership around the state from other dealers but I can't load or unload the bikes and wobble for a min ute when I try to walk its funny. he gave me one of those messarge chairs that cost 3grand on saturday from his late brothers estate me and him had a lot in comon he had back and hip replacements put cancer got him this year. I wanted him to ride in the saber so bad ,we were going to race side car ice racing and dirt track. he was a great short track racer for years and had started a push for the sport which is getting bigger here. I would love to try it next summer using his race bike .my brother inlaw was a great motocross racer and the oldest brother raced superbikes until his death also.I might try and get mark to race next year he never begged to go out cause he gets sea sick but we don't go slow enuff for that to happen. so john how is your new boat if Imake it to NY OR NJ races in aug and sept we should hook up. or you should come uphere for the july poker run or aug one. well next week I will start puttingpics together as Ido more stuff.

motor went to paint thurs instead of dyno:eek:, Iam just sic.

Damn Artie....they give you a new dyno date yet?

Any day now...or maybe next week. WTF!!!! Did you really pay for this engine over a year ago???

Did you learn a lesson?:drink:

two years in aug 28th was drop off pretty much paid in full by that oct.

whats that ????????????????????????, I should have driven out there last oct and picked the pieces up. Gerry can't believe this is last week of may no motor . I most likely won't see july 4th boating:lolhit: never mind get to a race:angry-smiley-038:.I am just sick.

steve you will be waiting with me:eek:, june 3rd no motor.

Hang tight Artie.

It will happen.

What's the story now Artie?

Holy Crap
