Holy crap Rob; your hull has been done and hanging around for a year.

Yea Rob, its getting old just sitting there, TIME TO TAKE HER HOME !!!! :D

You guys are ball busters LOL

Motor is getting dyno'd this week or I'm going to kill a good friend. If the motor is out there June 1st then I should take delivery around Aug.1st.

Hindsight is allways 20/20 and yes I would have done this different if I could go back but hey what can you do?

Doesn't perfection take time? ;)

NO !!!! HA HA LOL !!!:D

No way I could have wait that long. I had mine built with a 496 mag and sold it when it in arrived in Calif.
Even after it got here it took two months to rig the engine with the custom headers and closed cooling system. Could'nt be happier with it though. Well, maybe a few more HP.

I ran out of coments. ;(

Damn Rob you have waaaayyyy more patience than me.

I guess it helps that I have been swamped with work this year... Its pretty easy to be patient when you know you don't have time to use the boat anyway. There is a May 28th dead line to have this motor done or I'm getting something else shipped to have the boat finished.

Make the money now so you can play later!!!!

Rob, you going closed cooling?

Can't find a system that will keep up with the motor so nope no closed cooling

Rob, anything on your motor ??:D

Rob,
Going to Oceanside next week to see my brother. Any chance I can take it back with me. A couple of bucks for the extra baggage should do. ;)

Rob,
Any word on thte motor ???

Maybe One of these?

Rob, anything with the motor ???

I talked to Dave over at MDR and It looks like I'm going to be getting the twin to his motor.

If JC is hurt then who's rigging over at Superboat?

So your getting an MRD motor ???
Rick's half brother is rigging these days !!! :eek:

I had an apifiny (sp?) this weekend and decided that I will use 2 engines: 1 N/A with sane HP and the other Blown with stupid HP.

Dave just happens to have a motor lying around that fits the bill and since his boat is almost the same as mine I figured it wouldn't hurt to have him in the mix for problem solving.

Boating in NYC for Labor day?

Pretty sure he meant MDG haha

582 CI, 800 HP

Same setup we have in our superboat

littleMDGperformance, I'm sorry about that ,I miss read, I didn't have my reading glasses on !!!! :D What speeds did you guys end up with your set up ???

Ran boat today tried a hydromotive p5x 29 pitch ran 93 gps,dead flat water no chop 3/4 fuel.Installing 1 spacer tommorrow the p5x picked the boat up out of water really nice,had to use a lot of trim hopefully with the spacer i can use less trim to get boat aired out

MDG is what I ment if I didn't say it... LOL

Talking with David this morning, he's not ruling out hitting 100mph yet... just need some more test time.

Rooooob, Whats the word ???

I would hate to Robs storage bill !! LOL

Hey Rick,
Install that drive and send it to me. I'll store it for him free and it will be out of your way...:D
When Rob finally gets an engine, I can pull mine out with about 1 hours notice...:D

Robs, boat must have 2 inches of fiberglass dust on it. Hey Rick how many builds were after Robs ???

Lets see some pics!

Nothing to see. It's under covers. And I''m not about to spend the time uncovering it , and breathing in all that dust.

I wouldn't either. What color is it?

Uncover it how ? That thing has been their so long you would need a snow shovel !

DIRTY:rolleyes:

It's OFFICIAL. The boat has been taken out of the shop to make room for the others we're making. It's now in storage.

How far out of the shop ???

Anyone hear fromn Rob ????

im puttin his turbine in my ferrari if he dont turn up soon...

The turbine is going in Dinos boat. Robs still waiting for his motor to be dynoed.

:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
Wasn't that the story last year? maybe the year before too?
I remember hearing that he had at least 2 engines blow up on the dyno.

Rick, is that the current story, motor is gonna be dynoed. Who was the motor builder ???

That motor builder must really like taking his time,maybe he is building an experimental engine that runs on water or something,hey rob i have a couple of merc 500efi could install to get her running ,that boat is way too nice to be a dust collector,time to get it running

Dave, it's a shame. F16 camopys and duel instramatation? Anyway, It's a hot ride rady to go. I wish the motor would get done on the dyno. It's going to be ready for a rebuild already. lol
