My father will be 70 this year. I'm his son he is a stainless steel man who has been doing this for 43 years and never ****ed anyone .
That is why I asked my original question. How long can someone go on? Im sometimes uncomfortable working in s bilge and I'm less than half his age.....you've expressed that you have no interest in building boats, so is there a plan to keep SB alive? Not trying to start a pissing contest here, just curious. |

Don't know about that ! Got here last night , looked around , took some pictures . Haven't seen Coen yet , tried both shops . Glass shop looks the exact same as it did when I was here in November . Blue Y2K has no upholstery and the drive still isn't on it . Red Y2K has the motors On the back of it but its still not rigged . The 21 that Rick layed up last year is still in the mold and hasn't been popped out yet . And Coen's 30cc hasn't been cleaned or fixed sence it sunk at the fire Island padget . And the place smells like piss !
Gonna try and get back over there again today or tomorrow . |
Can someone go find bash? Things where a lot more interesting when he was here.......if we find him....... Maybe then this forum can go back to being about superboats, guys who own them and guys who enjoy them

Joe how bout we make a deal!! Since I say I don't know how to build a boat or run a boat. I will build a boat not used new. You and rick can build what ever you want new or used. We race class 5 OPA next year. You can even use your 30 because that might be your only chance you have.We will make the bet what you think is fare. I'm even willing to beat for boats. One ocean race or high points for the season. LET ME NO. Be a man and lets run...
My money is on The New SB :popcorn: |

At one time I was just happy to have activity in the Superboat section.. I too would like to see Bash come back, since I missed it the first time around (still playing with checmkates back then).

I'm guessing mid 600s.
I'd really like to get ahold of a -2 sporty to play with propshaft heights a bit. I think raising it would help some for top speed.. tradeoff would be in the rough. |

Nothing new Nick.... the 598 has been very well behaved (knock on wood) runs late 80's pretty effortlessly.... haven't really pushed it too hard...don;t want to cause myself any problems.... I too would like to try a -2 shorty... but I'm pretty content with it the way it is.... |

In the end you just won't know till you try . Every boat is diferent . I know my setup was not the same having the Konrad but when Dave was testing he tried a spacer and killed the performance so he took it back off . I'm now gonna be running without the weight of a tranny or the 160lb drive so in all I probably lost 100lbs so I went ahead and bought the spacer for the SCX just I case .
