picking it up in the morning tomorrow and we are gonna head to captree to run it.....

i am only going up in small increments now to see how the water pressure does.....dont wanna cook a pair of new motors......will post results as soon as we are back.....

I think i saw you running over by Captree today....it runs real nice....cuts through everything

G&S,

#s!

Went about 1 1/4 below the hull, no real speed increase, but boat is definitly handling better, and it wasnt handling bad previously, so we are gonna come up another quarter inch or so next weekend and see what happens. We definitly have room to come up, water pressure at WOT is around 20-22 psi, and still seeing 5600 rpms trimmed out, so still some room to go on the rpm side as well. so we are going to see what happens. Top end was 78 again last night, and was slowly inching up to 79...78.1, 78.3, 78.5.

George and I were wondering if 30"'s might not be the answer down the road, but not gonna rush it....still happy as can be, and getting a real good feel for the boat. We will get to that 80+ mark

Boat is definetly coming into its own as we come up with the motors.....if i didnt have fathers day obligations with the family this morning we would have raised them some more.....next weekend i will have more time hopefully sean does and we will see....

all i can say is sean is really getting a feel for the boat and did some nice throttle work saturday morning.....

the boat is bad azzzz:evilb::evilb::evilb::evilb:

My last guesstimate was 86!

wow...very impressive...you're on you way to breaking 80!

if as the motors go up and the water pressure starts falling, how effective are transom mounted water pickups?

we will never have to go up that high.....at a certain pint it starts becoming counter productive on a V bottom to keep going up....

we still have 500 rpm left to tap into and a set of 30 bravos to try.....next weekend may be the day we break 80.....

I dont think we will need to even think about that, besides, pretty much everyone has told me, and I remember from my 24', you can only go so high, and then it just works against you

I hear Lightspeed went for a ride. How did he like it?

tomorrow #$%@ 80 %$#@

:lolhit:yeah tomorrow morning sean and i are meeting up at around 8am for another round of test the 30cc.......

Raised em up to about a half inch below the hull...basically an easier climb to 5500 rpm's, a little easier to the top of 78, but no overall speed increase. Next is to move to even with the hull and see what happens. But we did take her for a pretty nice spin on Sat....from captree, through the flats, through wantagh #2 (when did they make wantagh #3 the drawbridge?) over to Jones inlet, out into the ocean and then back to FI inlet and over to tanner, picked up Georges wife and then frank and dicks for lunch. ocean wasnt flat, wasnt insane rough, but just enough motion to not let us really let her rip

Overall....a good day!

these numbers again are from using the B1 30" ?

28's

80.2 per the gps today, wasnt consistent, but it held for a few seconds, but 78/79 easily now

now thats what I'm talkin' bout !!!

wooohooo!!!

you need to install an HD onboard camera and start capturing these moments!

Congrats!

here's a camera that I am interested in getting:


water proof - to .5m
HD - 1080P
built in screen
auto photo (when not video taping)
rugged
has many mounting options
upto 300 degrees lense rotation

Sean, how many hours on the boat ???

Gary- almost 50, would have been more, but the bay was just a mess today, really strong winds, etc, so we just decided to go hit the beach

Thats Great SEAN, You probabiy will see over 100 hrs. this year. Use and Enjoy. I'm glad to see your Superboat experiance is turing out positive.:grinser010:

Yea, couldnt be happier, all positives so far, and boat has just been a blast. Learning tons as I go from George, and really starting to get comfortable with how she handles.

About the only thing I would change at this point would be the windshield, and possibly have a forward canting throttle, to give me a little more arm room in the seat. Pretty much it

I got this video of Sean running the CC. I think the name of the video should be "Hammer Down". Boat looks awesome !!!
http://sharing.theflip.com/session/4...video/16719152

And another running video. A longer one.
http://sharing.theflip.com/session/0...video/16726386

Glad your having fun with her Sean.

hey i know those videos......the second one was shot by ME with Superbender driving Ronesuperboats Yamaha powered 30........fun day.....

all i can say is sean runs the crap outta the 30CC........

and the videos do the boat no justice.....it runs so sweet and looks really awesome out there.....

I was telling Sean, I wish the CC was a lot closer in for the video.

Sean you are one BAD-ASH racer :D

The other 30 was running nice too!

G, you're a lucky guy!!!

Its all in the rigging :evilb:

Couldnt be happier, George and I have a plan mapped out on further dial in testing, but as of now, I am a very satisified Superboat customer!

George- we have to set up that "50 @ 4500" ocean run with Ron!

I agree......bender wants to come too....:evilb:

That other 30 is one of the best tempests I have seen, and the owner is a great guy who takes care of the boat. Boat looks great running and hasnt seen its full potential yet

can we see more pics of the tempest?

With performance numbers :)

That Tempest is currently for sale over on S&F.. neat boat.


Actually a couple of nice Supers are for sale over there.

it has hit 85 mph with twin 300's

George and I were wondering what time your leaving for Cape Cod ;)

Bringing this one back up... how's the CC treating you after a full season?

:Score-101010:i am sure sean will chime in here but i can say after spending a ton of time on the boat with sean this season the boat is great.....

runs extremely well in pretty much everything he has thrown at it....cruises at 65MPH and runs 79-81 up top.....

the running attitude is nothing like the old 30s....theres No hop or porpoise at any speed......the nose stays planted and doesnt head for the moon in big water......it runs flat and pretty much anyone with a heartbeat and arms could run the boat at 75 :boat:....everytime i go out in the boat it continues to impress me and others that have ridden in it.....

there are still a few setup tricks we would like to try out to see if maybe he can get a little further into the 80s and a few little odds and ends that sean may want to change but overall after about 110hrs this season i would say Thumbs up on the 30Y2k CC.....:Score-101010:

Would be nice to see recent pics...on the beach!

Here's some pics for ya Noli.

I went out with my brother for the boat races on Long Island. The water got pretty snotty but the thing just piled right through it. Sick ride. 110 hours huh. Time to put some 300s on it.

Hey guys- been really jammed last month or so, and just had an addition to the family, so things a little hectic! But overall review of the boat after 100+ hours
#1- Boat handles like its on rails- at 65, you can take your hands off the wheel and eat a pizza. Tracks nice and straight, and doesnt have the typical lean into the wind that my 24' had (probably because of the dual engines)
#2- Getting on plane and acceleration are great- boat hits 65 in a few second, bascially, you get on plane, and you are doing 50 in a blink of an eye
#3- The boat can handle the snotty stuff- George and I took to the ocean one day (me in the SB- George in a friends progression) and it turned out to be a lot nastier then we expected, and basically once we got through the inlet, it wasnt worth turning around, so we headed to Jones Beach Inlet- while we were all throttling back- I was able to maintain a pretty consistent 50 MPH in 2-4 foot rollers with that occasional larger wave
#4-Seating- the seating we finally decided on wound up being a great choice- standing with a standup console would have been a big mistake, being lower is just a much more secure feeling, and if I am in the mood, I can still stand and drive with the current set up
#5- My favorite thing about the boat is its 'convertible' nature- I want to blast around at 75 mph+ by myself...no problem. Want to take my son out at 25 mph+...no problem. But the day I got three couples, 6 kids, and about 50 beach toys, umbrellas, blankets etc on the boat. And just pulled right up to the beach, let everyone jump off the front, threw her in reverse and then anchored....that was the day I developed a true appreciation for the boat and its versatility

If I was going to change anything, I would change the windshield (go with clear and cut it down a little- something I will do with JC over the winter).

So far on props, the bravo 28's have been the best, but engines still arent turning max rpm's consistently. We are going to try some different combinations, basically my fault we hadnt done so already, everytime George would say "why dont we try xxxx tomorrow", I would say "why dont we just blast around and then get lunch"

But overall, honestly, wouldnt change a thing!

Projects for the winter will be:
Hydraulic Jackplates
LED Cupholders
