The good ol days.......................................

OK RICK,,SAT NITE,,DOWING A FEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PHOTOS GOT LOST???????? LOL. RICK THIS HAS BEEN ONE AMAZING PHOTO STORY! MUCH BETTER THAN NEW RELEASE TUES. AT BLOCKBUSTER! SUPERBABI COMING ALIVE........MORE TO COME!!!!!!!!!THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN. GARY

Rick Don't forget to drill drain holes for the water to run thru.Mine doesn't have any.I'm always sponging the water out between the stringers and in the cabin from those great looking popup cleats and front light. Rick I love the picks of the older superboats do you have any of ZUL,s

PAT, GOOD IDEA ABOUT JCAP. I E-MAILED HIM ABOUT 5 BLADE. HEY KEITH ANY IMPUT ON 5 BLADE, I KNOW YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT THAT. THANKS GUYS ,,,,,,,GARY

Zuper,
Look at the back of the larger stringers laying on the ground. Those notches are the drains.

Rick,,,,,,,,checked Out ( Throttle Up .com ) 5 Blade Hydro Lab Finished Prop. $1500. Also Saw 6 Blade Hydro. Whats Up With That? Would Like To Get Confirmed Mph Gains, Before We Order. Gary

Gary - looking sa-weet!!!

Rick, can you detail out what is actually done in the 'blueprinting ' process, or is that trade secret!?!?

I do have a line on a five blade, but haven't tried it yet - I need to coordinate with my buddy so I can go yank it from his Sonic while he's working and then me and another buddy want to try it on my SB and his Velocity. We'll probably get to try this in the next 2-4 weekends if weather cooperates.

Ok Gary - have I told you (lately) how awesome this boat is??? Man, we went out yesterday in snotty stuff and got wet and a little beat up, but on the trip home with a tail wind I cranked her up and was doing 70 across the tops with four people and 3/4 fuel - WAY TOO COOL. (Pat, PULL THE TRIGGER!!!)

Superboat is too cool, way to go John , Rick - keep it up!!

Keith

Faster,
I believe Jcap has a 650-700HP Supercharged 509 cube MRD built engine hooked to a Merc. Bravo XR drive.
I am surprised that he has not chimed in lately...

Superbabi,
$1500 sound like a lot of $$, but if you would realy gain 2-3mph it's worth it. I spent a lot more than that on my engine last year to gain 3mph; and then it blew...

FX,
I think ZZ means that there should be a way for water to drain past the forward bulkheads into the bilge. I too use a hand pump and sponge to get the water out of the cabin, and forward compartments. It is kind of a PIA...

Krackmeup,
Sounds like you are enjoying the heck out of your new ride. I talk to my Dad today and he told me your weather has been great! Going to be in the teens here tonight...
My wife agrees that a larger boat would be better for running in LI sound, but it is not really necessary in the CT river. The plan is to add on to our house before I can buy a larger boat. She has also been working on me about a 2nd child too...
Some day...
Hopefully sooner than later...

I think the drainage problem will be taken care of from now on. I addressed it to John awhile back about putting drain tubes to the stern for the cleats and mainly the bow light.

Pat,,,,,from What I Understand, Rick On Line, John On Phone ( Many Talks ) Printing Out The The Bottom Will Definitely Pick Up A Couple Mph'. Now Add A 5 Blade. We Could Be Looking At 4 Mph. Gain On Y 2k. Thats Not Bad For Say $3000 More. Pat All I Can Do Is Try. I Have The Faith In Rick And John!!!!!!!!!!!!rick See You Tomorrow.
