I don't know how strict they are but I read the rule book once and they used a calculated ratio of prop size, gear ratio and HP. To make sure your in the right class.
I just spoke to Brian Devlin (AMF Lavey) this morning. He is eager to see us out there on the race course. :evilb:
I think Brian and I may do business.

Re: Rob, Huntington Beach !!
 

Business as in Racing???

If construction stays strong through 2006 I can see a chance of racing next year. I would like to have a boat by the fall so I can dial it in over the winter/spring if racing is in the future. Funny how after I had a few conversations with JC over the last month, the idea of using this boat for anything other then racing or poker running is the only 2 things left that make sense.

Pending issues to solve/get done

-canopy's need to be made still
-motor is still in cali
-Figure out the seat setup (I want something highback)
-trailer???

I know Brain is a rep right? Who do I get in touch with for rules and questions... the POPRA site isn't exactly up to date???

Re: Rob, Huntington Beach !!
 

Brian is a Real Estate appraisor, I'm a Mortgage Broker. I hope you get the boat soon.

Who are you with Tom?

Re: Rob, Huntington Beach !!
 

I own my own store in Cathedral City. I have direct in-house lending or near 60 investors like CitiBank, Washington Mutual, GMAC, for A paper loans and for subprime loans I have 40 investors like New Century, Long Beach, Argent ect. I prefer to use in-house funding for better control. I can fund in 45 states.

Re: Rob, Huntington Beach !!
 

Think it will fit???

Re: Rob, Huntington Beach !!
 

Let me check with your insurance company! :D Looks nice.

Re: Rob, Huntington Beach !!
 

What headers?

Re: Rob, Huntington Beach !!
 

CMI's the same ones on the 525 i think or maybe the big tubes.

Re: Rob, Huntington Beach !!
 

When is the shipping date on the motor??

Re: Rob, Huntington Beach !!
 

I tell ya Rob, I'm real happy with my Lightning long tube with 5" dry tails.

Re: Rob, Huntington Beach !!
 

Thats A Big Blower Bro ! And That Top Pulley Looks Pretty Small. Lots Of Boost Their . On The Headers Make Sure You Check The Size Of The Primary Tubs. Cmi Makes Some Big Tube Headers So They Claim With A 1.7/8 Primary Tube. You Need At Least 2 Inch.

Re: Rob, Huntington Beach !!
 

Motor ship date is still up in the air, waiting on all the accesories to get here so the brackets can be made up. In retrospect if I new this was going to take as long as it is then I would have to told John to just drop a 496 mag in there and be done with it but what can ya do? Thanks for the heads up Zuper, I wasn't aware of the CMI's being so small. I know John was trying to stay away from having to get customs made so I just told him way back when to get something for this application. I guess I should follow up some more ;)

Re: Rob, Huntington Beach !!
 

I'd use Stainless Marine Gen III manifolds with ø5" pipes... :D
Tubular headers are a crap shoot. I have heard of far too many leaking... :eek:

Re: Rob, Huntington Beach !!
 

I Just Installed A Set In A 34 And THEY ARE JUNK/////Held Together By Clamps On The Elbow And The Pipe Dont Like Em At All /// Plastic Elbows For Water Dumps ///// They Are Cheap ,,,,You Get What You Pay For////// After Mark Bought Them He Was Sorry////// Look Into CMI Or Stellings

Re: Rob, Huntington Beach !!
 

Hey Rob, great to hook up this weekend! Where did you go after you left Topoc? We looked for you at the sandbar but no luck. Let's get that boat done. :evilb:

Re: Rob, Huntington Beach !!
 

[QUOTE=FASTERDAMITT Let's get that boat done. :evilb:[/QUOTE]
Did the motor ever get to Superboat ???

Re: Rob, Huntington Beach !!
 

No motor as of yet.

Re: Rob, Huntington Beach !!
 

We were there throwing horse shoes... you must of stayed up there awhile or I missed you coming down? When you headed out again?

Re: Rob, Huntington Beach !!
 

Motor is suppose to dyno this week... for like the 10th time. Keeping my fingers crossed that it will be crated up this weekend!!!

Re: Rob, Huntington Beach !!
 

Rob, how many does this guy build a year ??

Re: Rob, Huntington Beach !!
 

Maybe a half hour after you left. I will be in Parker at the river next weekend. :drink:

Re: Rob, Huntington Beach !!
 

Not many, I would say maybe 6 a year... He works for a drag race team (Funny car i think) and rebuilds a bunch of the ISBA drag rac\e boat motors. This is a new business venture for him so its taking time for the adjustment of this is not a hobby anymore and the bills have to come first... In short I get assed out for the jobs that pay.

Re: Rob, Huntington Beach !!
 

Drop me a line if your headed to Vegas for the OSS race, I'm gonna try and get out there that weekend.

Re: Rob, Huntington Beach !!
 

Will do. :drink:

Re: Rob, Huntington Beach !!
 

Rob, I would be pissed at this guy............tell him to get his a$$ in gear.

Re: Rob, Huntington Beach !!
 

Drag Race Guys Building Offshore Boat Motors How Long You Think That Will Last??????????????????????????????????????????

Re: Rob, Huntington Beach !!
 

I Would Hate To Part Of That Learning Curve.

Re: Rob, Huntington Beach !!
 

I have faith that this motor will work well and last just fine as an offshore motor. A good engine builder builds for the application, if a builder only knows one application then they are a ****ty builder IMO... My comments were more to the point of why my engine is not done on time not that the builder only builds drag motors because that is not the case at all.

Re: Rob, Huntington Beach !!
 

Motor is done... Dyno on Tuesday!!!! I might have a boat this year after all.

Re: Rob, Huntington Beach !!
 

Let's see a pic of that bad boy on the dyno Rob! :evilb:

Re: Rob, Huntington Beach !!
 

I'll try and get the video up when I get it in my hands.

Re: Rob, Huntington Beach !!
 

Here it is Weds. Motor shipped yet?????

Re: Rob, Huntington Beach !!
 

As of Friday it was still on the dyno, they were trying a couple different set ups and still not 100% happy so hopefully it got sorted out over the weekend? I'll know sometime today.

Re: Rob, Huntington Beach !!
