Great pics and progress!

Rick (FX10), what type of wood do you use for the transom, bulkheads, stringers and core?

Thanks,
Dan

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

Rick, That Is A Great Price! Please Drop Jc The Hint, Hey John , That Would Be A Nice Gift For Gary This Christmas From Superboat!!!!!!!!! Lol

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

Jigsaw,
The core on the hull is done with Baltek Balsa core. Coring on the deck is done with Divinycell Foam coring. Stringers and bulkheads are done with plywood. 2 ply''s of 3/4" plywood are fiberglassed together for the Transom and center stringers. The outer stringers are single 3/4".

Plans For Superbabi. # 1 Bottom Blue Printed. # 2 Whipple's #2 Kit Safe 25-30 Hp Gain . # 3 Prop 5 Blade Hydro P5x. All Factory Installed. Top Speed ????????

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

Does that Whipple kit effect the warranty? What is included in the kit?
If it were me, I would try the boat without it first. Then you can see if it has any positive effect...
From my personal experience, high flow spark arrestors, "upgrades" to the stock ignition, and reprogrammed ECUs, and... don't do anything for stock fuel injected engines. :rolleyes:
One thing that may boost power is a better than stock exhaust system... :D

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

PAT I HEAR YA. BUT I NEED 80 MPH !!!!!!!!!!!! I HAVE TO KICK SOME SUPER A#@........ :evilb:

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

BASH's thoughts on blueprinting :rolleyes: Ready? O.K. Here we go.
- I agree with FX's plan to do something about the bowlift solution on the Y2K hull. I too feel my 24 step is being deprived of speed because the bow just won't naturally lift without the combined use of a ton of trim & setback. JCAP and I have talked about this bowlift problem. Yes...straightening the surface area is not the answer. I like the "rocker" idea... & believe this combined with the step shouldn't cause the boat to porpoise...as it would do on a straight vee. I really hope this works...as mine will be the first 24 to undergo the "mod". :)

-Oh...just one more thing
YEAHHHH BABI!!!!!!!!

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

BASH , WOW YOU THE PUTER WIZ ! YES ON PHONE TODAY WITH JC, WITH REGARDS OF BLUEPRINTING. SUPERBABI WILL STAY UNTIL SEA TRIALS CAN HAPPEN. -----ITS IN LAP OF THE GODS----( RICK & JC ) :evilb: :evilb:

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

Personally, I think Johns going to tear me a new a-hole, for all this extra work that he didn't want to do. I can hear it now.........."Thanks Rick !!!!, Do me a favor and stay off the Fuc&%#G computer!!!". LOL
Bash, As for blueprinting the bottom with a rocker in it. It was first done on Freeze Frame, like 20 something years ago. Remmi blueprinted his bottom with a wicked rocker in it. That boat ran 77mph the first day out with stock 200 mercs. Hell !! He didn't even have the counter rotated lower unit on it yet. Ask Joey at East Coast about it. It took 2 weeks to do his bottom. The results were definately worth it..

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

COME ON JC, ALL WE WANT IS FOR SUPERBABI IS TO HAVE SOME " SUPERCLASS ". NOT LIKE THAT LAST Y2K SENT TO N.J. THATS SITS IN BRACKISH WATER ALL SUMMER. WITH BOTTOM PAINT. LOL !!!!!!!!! :evilb:

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

Gary, Check your PM

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

Gary,
If you are looking for 80 you better go Whipple #3 or #4... :evilb:

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

arneson makes tabs that are to give bow lift called rocker plates that are to pull the back down and lift the nose.my guess is 3k. BASH you are the master I love the dancing baby.

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

Ok Pat I Was Dreaming. How About 77-78 Mph ? I Am Sure After Rick Does His Bottom Printing We Will Be There !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gary :d

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

Krackmeup is running 72-74mph with stock bottom, stock 496HO, and a stock 26p 4 blade prop.

Hi Gary,

Nice to see Babi coming along. You realize this will be a factory 1 legal boat!!! Just don't tell Marcy.

Where is the steering wheel and throttles going? Any chance for a two person set up?

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

We make a race fairing for the cockpit which incorporates the throttles in the center.

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

Gary,

As promised.......................................... .
Wait !!! I hope you have the popcorn ready. LOL
Scene one.......................AAAAAAnnnnd Action !!!
Rear bulkhead glassed in place. Gas tank waiting to be foamed in place.

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

Next the bulkhead compression barrier's are glassed to the hull. They are Baltek Balsa core. Without them being there, the bulkheads would make stress cracks in the hull.

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

Next came the Midship bulkhead. Notice the fiberglass . There's 5 alternating ply's of 1.5oz. Mat and 24oz. Roving holding that bulkhead in place. We don''t use 6" or 8" wide strips of glass either. We use 10" wide glass. Makes for a stronger bulkhead. And damn.....Thats some neat fiberglass work.

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

And did I mention that I also got the basttery boards mounted ? I''ll have them glassed in tomorrow also.
Well Gary , till tomorrow. Hope you liked the pics. You wont believe what it looks like tomorrow.

Rick

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

Oh !!! I found a few more of the rear bulkhead. Meaty glasswork.
