Re: Rob, Huntington Beach !!
Anything With A Tranny , A Drive Holding 10 Quarts Of Gear Oil Is Going To Suck 50 Hp Unless Its A Dry Sump. What Kind Of Props Does The Sage Take ? Big Shaft Merc ? This Is A Combination Rob , Where Are You Getting Props From ? Any Racers Out By You That You Can Beg / Borrow And Steal From For Testing ? Also Gear Ratio For 100 Mph A 1.50 Should Be Fine. Years Ago You Needed A 1.36 Because The Props Could Not Keep Up.

Re: Rob, Huntington Beach !!
There is a reputable prop shop out here Bronson HIll Porpellers that I already talked to about help dialing in. I haven't yet talked to Coen but in light of the prices Rick posted for the Konrad "Ace" I don't think thats the one we'll go with. I'm leaning towards the IMCO 1000 but I haven't crossed the Max Machine off the list either. They are both semi local to me (400miles or closer) so Parts or tech help will be much easier to get. I lite a fire under my engine builders ass last night to get rollin on parts round up. It's still gonna be atleast a week or 2 before the motor hits the dyno. When is the Hull rolling out of the glass shop Rick? And are the canopies in yet?

Re: Rob, Huntington Beach !!
So Rob, whats your splash date, more or less ???
|
Re: Rob, Huntington Beach !!
Depends on when the hull is ready for rigging

Rob,
If all goes as planned, your hull should be out of the mold around thurs or friday. Then another few days to put the deck on and glass it all together. So I figure around the 15th, give or taks a few days. Rick |
Re: Rob, Huntington Beach !!
Wow Rick that is fast! Great Job!!!!
|
Re: Rob, Huntington Beach !!
Rick how long are you leaving the hull in the mold?
|
Re: Rob, Huntington Beach !!
It will be ready to pull out either thurs or friday

Rob,
Hull is ready for the bulkheads tomorrow, then gas tank and bunks. Any day now. Rick |
Re: Rob, Huntington Beach !!
Looking good Rick. We still putting the ballast tank in or did that idea go out the window? Think we need it cause I know its going to be a biatch to add later?
|
Re: Rob, Huntington Beach !!
That will be after we pop it from the mold.

Rob,
What a day. Started at 7:30, got out at 6:15. The whole day was spent on your hull and getting all 5 bulkheads glassed in. All thats left is fully covering the firewall bulkhead with a layer of mat. It came out beautiful. Enjoy the pics. Rick |

Re: Rob, Huntington Beach !!
LOL you guys are comedy... The motor is not set in stone yet so I don't have a lot of details to lay out for you all. The game plan is still the same though, 1000hp on 87oct. If a blower is going on it most likely it will be a blower shop unit. We'll see if its needed.
How much room is left between the engine and the hatch? Is a blower/intercooler set up going to fit or would the hatch have to be modified? Tom, are you adding doors to your boat this spring? ;) |

How big is this beast going to be? I also never heard of a blower motor running on 87. I guess it's going to be a computer controlled EFI no matter what... :cool: As for the hatch, we know a Whipple fits... :drink: |
Re: Rob, Huntington Beach !!
Ok maybe 89...
