Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

Hey Guys,
The ZUPERBOAT had an Imco extension box with a Bravo originally.
That boat ran dam near 100mph with a 750HP MRD. I wish Mike would fine that HOT BOAT article for us...
I think he only changed it because the Bravos kept blowing up...

RICK, LOOKING GOOD, I THINK I WILL PULL OFF 525 HP. YYYIIIPPPEEE !!!!!!!!!!! :evilb: :evilb: :evilb:

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

Gary,
Finally finished sanding and sprayed the gelcoat on Babi. It came out beautiful !!! Now........Monday (weather permitting) I'll sand and wet sand the bottom, then compound. I'm putting up the first pics of the blueprinting job. Anyone with experience will be able to see what I did. The rest of you wont notice it. Anyway, keep in mind that it was just gelcoated and still has to be sanded and compounded. Thats why it has an orange peel texture.
And Gary, are you paying attention about the extension box ????

Rick

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

I guess you could call Babi the "Special FX Edition"

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

Looks good Rick. I think pic #1 shows a rocker?

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K

FX10

That is a very complex bottom. It looks great.

Some questions if I could?

If I can recall, the 30 used to be a straight V bottom. Who redesigned the multi-step version?

Also, The last step ( to the rear) is the deepest and extends to the chines.
Historically this last freeing up of the bottom results in a situation on a lot of step bottom boats where they spin out on hard turns.

What is your experience in the turning characteristics with this particular bottom?

Adding rocker on a multi-step boat... This can't be a simple affair!

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

Ok Guys, I Forgot To Ask You On Friday ??? Spoke To John 35oo.00 Between 500 Efi, And 525 Hp,,,,, What Do You Think ??? Is 25 Hp Worth 3500.oo ?????

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

Go With The 525 Its A better Motor

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

Lightspeed,,, Is It Really A Better Motor Or Is It Just Massaged Out More? Are They Not The Same 502 Block?

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

I dont think its a question of 25 more hp...its "Is 1-2mph more worth it?" These hulls need lots of HP. You can never have enuff speed.
- I know. Where does it end...

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

BASH,, OF COURSE 1--2 MPH. IS BETTER AND WORTH 3500 . BUT IT CAN KEEP ON GOING AND GOING WITH THIS HP. GAME. SUPERBABI IS NOW WELL OVER 20K MORE WITH 525 & STEERING UP GRADE... HOW FAST DO YOU THINK SHE WILL GO........525,,,,,BLUEPRINTING......LABED PROP ???????????? :evilb: :evilb: :evilb:

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

Way to go Gary on the 525!! You'll put that SB in a different class from mine, at least until next year that is;) when my warranty runs out.......keep going, you're good for it man!!! I expect to see good data posts like I've been giving you - say perhaps in April????

You are right you can just keep going and going thats why in regards to my project I'm going to set it up from the get-go and be done with it and enjoy. I did the same with my current 24' with a bunch of extras and options that drove up the price but glad I did it once. My time to play is limited.

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

One big bonus of the 525 is that it has closed cooling.

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

KEITH, OF COURSE YOU WILL BE KEPT UP TO DATE, ORDERED A GPS FROM JOHN SO ALL SPEEDS WILL BE OFFICAL!! ( AN OFFICAL RULE IN SUPERBASH HAND BOOK ) DID YOU GET YOUR COPY ??????????? OH-ZONE IF I DON'T DO IT NOW 525 I'LL BE THINKING AND WISHING ALL SUMMER LONG/SHOULD HAVE DONE IT !!! AND THAN IT'S TO LATE, AND I WOULD HAVE TO PLAY THE HP. GAME ALL OVER AGAIN ON 496 H0. I STILL DO THINK THAT BANG FOR THE BUCK THE 496 HO IS A GREAT DEAL !!! BUT I NEED THAT 525 TO SMOKE A FEW AAAAAAAAAA HOLES ON THE BAY !!!!!!!!!!! :evilb: :evilb: :evilb:

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

Im sure you wont regret it ac Dave said closed cooling is sweet and not on the 500. Hell, the 525 is a great base to build up from when those lottery tickets pay off

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

Lottery Tickets ???????? Oh-zone, After 525 Upgrade There Is No Money Left To Buy Lottery Tickets !!!!!!!!! Lol........

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

HEY...I FEEL BETTER KNOWING I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO SPENT 20K TO GO 6MPH FASTER!!! http://photos.imageevent.com/superba.../wellfunny.gif

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

BUT SERIOUSLY :rolleyes: ...the where does it end question has no answer. I like the 496HO's performance per dollar. If you are gonna run hard & build for more power...I live by the "If Its CAST...It Won't LAST" motto. Its not a matter of "IF"...its just a matter of "WHEN"...they will let loose (IF YOU BEAT THE BALLZ OFF IT OR SUPERCHARGE) FORGED is the way to go...& the 525 is a great platform. My mission here is done. :)

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

AS USUAL BASH,, " WELL SAID " THE COLD HARD TRUTH,,,,,,,SPEED COSTS MONEY !!! I WANT TO RUN ALL DAY LONG AT 70--75 MPH WITH OCCASIONAL HARD HIT 80--85 MPH!!! I GUESS THE 525 WILL DO IT EVERY DAY ALL DAY !!!! OH YEA WHERE IS MY SUPERBASH RULES & REGULATION MANNUL ????? :evilb: :evilb: :evilb:
