Naaaa, I can fill the Mini Hawk with 15 bucks! :cool: And that includes the oil!! :evilb:

Re: My next boat: Y2k!
 

Thats true, but the 27' Avanti with the 675 hp is gonna be a gas eater. :(

Re: My next boat: Y2k!
 

Chit. :( (625)

Re: My next boat: Y2k!
 

Run her 50 hours hard, even at 625 hp , you will be broke after the summer !!!! We put 100 hours on superbabi last year. :eek: You should have seen that gas bill. :(

Re: My next boat: Y2k!
 

:( :( And we are putting bigger power on the Mini Hawk this spring too. Might go up to 20 bucks. :eek:

Re: My next boat: Y2k!
 

Oh boy , 20 bucks, a 7 minute ride on superbabi. :eek:

Re: My next boat: Y2k!
 

:D :eek: :(

Re: My next boat: Y2k!
 

FF2, you can't really put a 50 on a Mini Hawk. It'll sink. I had 1 with a 25. The guy I sold it to put a 40 on it, and it sank. It's too narrow. You need a 10' Supervader. You can throw a 90HP on it if you want. A 25HP pushes it at 40MPH.

Re: My next boat: Y2k!
 

I am not going to put a 50 on it. I was thinking the 35 range. I have it setup to run 40 now. Hopeing for close to 50. :D :evilb:

Re: My next boat: Y2k!
 

Tghat and it never sitd in the water overnight. Always comes out.

Re: My next boat: Y2k!
 

Tom is your boat close enough you can do a few measurements for me?

Re: My next boat: Y2k!
 

I'm lookin at it as I type! My baby is 25' from my officina!

Re: My next boat: Y2k!
 

I need to know how much you got from the oil pan seal to the hull ( oil pan clearance) and how much you have from top of block to hatch scoop ( will the blower fit). Thankx buddy

Re: My next boat: Y2k!
 

Well not officially gonna be in the Heat Wave Poker Run in Havasu at the end of the month. Rob, if your gonna be on the water, I'll be staying at Havasu Springs. When day breaks I will be in front of Black Meadows to watch the 150mph freaks fly by. Then head towards the bridge to hange out.

Re: My next boat: Y2k!
 

We are doing the same, no run but on the water... From what I under stand they are gonna let the guys hit it as soon as they clear the buoys in Thompson Bay so we might watch from the copper canyon area. I think we are going to be in my brothers Elim. 28' but not sure yet. I'll get a hold of you when we get a little closer and we can figure out where to watch from.

Re: My next boat: Y2k!
 

Cool! There gonna be an ealry morning party in front of Black Meadows. Maybe 50 or more boats.

Re: My next boat: Y2k!
 

Well, I got out to try the labbed 30! Not what I expected. 5300 rpm and low 80's! :eek: Something must be wrong with this prop. I seen much better with stock props. No wonder this buy sold it on Ebay. Labbed by BBlades I'm sure because of the box it came in. Oh well back to the stock Bravo's or Hydro's.

Re: My next boat: Y2k!
 

Bummer!!!!

Re: My next boat: Y2k!
 

What ya guys think?

Re: My next boat: Y2k!
 

Ready for TAKE OFF !!!!!! Very nice.

Re: My next boat: Y2k!
 

Harness's are out. Going with same thing but lap belt only. (JC special) :D

Re: My next boat: Y2k!
 

I put lap belt in the front buckets but just put handles in the rear thus far. Nice Tom ...shouldn't loose em with that set up!

Re: My next boat: Y2k!
 

like this...

Re: My next boat: Y2k!
 

Faster.
I didnt see your post above. I agree that the lap belt is the better way to go

Re: My next boat: Y2k!
 

:drink:

Re: My next boat: Y2k!
 

for what?? :eek: :drink:

Re: My next boat: Y2k!
 

Tom,
I like the harness, but you still need something to hold on to. JC's cross bar works great. Holds you in, while giving you something to hold on to. I used it on Superbabi.

Re: My next boat: Y2k!
 

Fx, I used the same belts but without the shoulder harness. Tried them this weekend at the Poker Run and everyone said it was much better than before. By the way we made the Superboat Y2k very respected by many! :D

Re: My next boat: Y2k!
 

Here's some weekend pics. :drink: Would you beleive I actually took this Skater! Well for a minute! He broke a blade on his Herring just as we hit about 75mph. Looks like it was cracked for some time. The Skater was driven by the Jeff Murry. He's the person that towed my boat to California. It's owned by Terrible Ed Herbst.
I wish I had more boat pics but I was too busy burnin my $3.65gal fuel.

Re: My next boat: Y2k!

Re: My next boat: Y2k!

Re: My next boat: Y2k!

Re: My next boat: Y2k!
 

Hey Faster,
Did you get that thing to run over 94 yet?

Re: My next boat: Y2k!
 

No.... I don't think I will since I added the stereo and put on some poundage myself! :D

Re: My next boat: Y2k!
