The Girl Can Still Please a Crowd !!!
 
Yeah, She can still fly !!!

My last Bullet 130 I built seen racing today with the JERSEY OUTLAWS in Toms River.

The new owner Harry put on a great show for the spectators.

I was enjoying hearing all the comments along the beach while he was running.... Brought back many memories .... :)

It is now called Vengeance Racing formerly known as "SHARK WAVE"

70 johnson?

SHARKEY-IMAGES 07-17-2011 08:45 PM

I am not sure if it was the 70 or the 60 he ended up putting on there. :confused:

krisx125 07-17-2011 09:06 PM

Theres one forsale in MA for cheap money. Without power, must fly with a 60-70hp

SHARKEY-IMAGES 07-17-2011 09:15 PM

Yes, Mine ran very well ! :drink:

I wouldnt say that its cheap money for a boat that size.

Powerquest230 07-17-2011 09:29 PM

Sharkey-

Did you manage to get any shots of Vengeance with any of the boat actually in the water? :lolhit: j/k great shots as always.

So how fast should that boat run with a 60 or 70 on it?

TIA,
Rick

SHARKEY-IMAGES 07-17-2011 09:42 PM

:drink:

It was built to fly !!! ;)

60 to 70 depending on weight.

SHARKEY-IMAGES 07-18-2011 06:14 AM

These guys went over the top to please the crowd. :eek:

Sequence shots of their flip are now uploaded...

It eventually ended up canceling the rest of the day of racing.... :(

All are ok...

The old Bullet looks great!

I think those blue boats are Verga Vipers. I remember they had a green one at surf and offshore sailing in Point Beach MANY years ago. I was a little kid, and thought they were just my size. Love to get a close up look at one after I've grown up a touch. :eek:

I got something kinda simular to that blue one in my back yard? It may be a foot shorter and a tad bit wider. Has a 25 merc I think on back. Dont have a title it was abandoned by the owner about 2 years ago. I dont want it and would like to see it go.

She was back at it again this past weekend in Barnegat racing with the Jersey Outlaws. A total of 7 Mini Boats showed with 4 of the boats being the Bullet 130's I had built...

It's great to see these boats coming out and putting on a great show for the spectators...

Here is a boat that I haven't seen since it was built in 1984.
It was custom built with Balsa Core in the hull & deck and a 3 Color Gelcoat Red Black on White. and has been holding up very well over the years.

We watched them running on Sunday off Barnegat! They looked great! Were you there Tim?

Too Stroked 09-06-2011 10:44 AM

Man that looks like some serious fun! Many folks don't realize how much running a small boat teaches you about control - or lack thereof.

That's for sure !

Just to make it interesting, while many run indirect steering on race boats, I ran direct cable steering... I can't tell you how many people warned me about running the boat with direct steering but it made me a much better driver overall. I don't recommend it to any one. For me though, I really liked the quick response.... :drink:

Indirect steering would have a pulley at the wing plate and the cable would run back to the boat.

As seen here in this poor image, it stops at the wing plate. The result is: 1 half turn of the steering wheel the engine would be fully turned to the left or right. While running at speed, I wouldn't need to move the wheel more than an inch or 2 to keep it from chine walking.... ;)
