you need to saw the wheel back and forth that way the walk stops. boxer has a roots in it unless erine changed it last month. I can't wait to get out there in my new boat this spring single konrad ace drive 1000 to 1100 hp DEAN GELLNER MOTOR in a 28 saber all cord boat with decolite balsa, I will be erines stepchild almost went with the 30 sutphen but it was a lot of work to go from a twin to a single since the saber was always a single. calling erine to night. sounds like you guys had fun. art ps great vids wish I was there

carbed and it has a billet 10-71 on it.

So you bought the Saber? Looked perfect for what you need. D911

Christian,

Thanks for the video. The run was a blast! Had great time, was nice to meet you and be able to run with such a god bunch.

it will be this week:eek: I shouldn't jix myself:eek:. I almost bought one in 1990 blank I think they were 20,000 or so no drive no power. by 93 or 94 they were 85mph for 85,000 and a 100mph for 99,000. it will be a perfect fit boat was built for a single, the 30 sutphens would have to have there gas tanks replaced and turned sidways, stringers and transom done over so that adds up quick. but if someone wants one of the ones I was looking at pm me. erine knows where the one in RI is and I know where the other two are.

Christian's current Sutphen, was our first!!!

christian,thanks for the video.i just noticed it was my daughter drving.:eek:i was in the back seat.

c

Hey Christian
Thanks for the entertainment. I just watched all you videos.

hey christian if we get a warm day here and there we can still take my boat out. Just keep an eye on the weather and let me know whan you wanna go for a rip.

Mine doesnt get winterized until very late in the season. Sew fast too.

Winterizing? What's that?:evilb:

:gfight::p I don't know yet just picked up a saber 28 no power:coolcowboy:, hey did you sell the 26 yet that was nice. we are going to maybe set the drive up next week to see if we need to fill the transom in. can't wait for sping whats great is I will have a back motor to the blower motor if I don;'t mess with it its about 670 with new carb if DEAN get his hands on it oops it will get a GELLNER INTAKE GOOD FOR MORE HP maybe hit 700, which should be about 82 to 85. the bigger motor will hit 100 one way or another at least once:evilb: race gas small pulleys. art

Nice! Enjoy. D

brought mine home today. Man I hate that cold weather

props and drives off, trailer jacked up, motors filled, fluids changed, batteries and lifejackets out, wd40 everywhere, canvas secure....5 hours on sunday....what do southerners do with all their extra free time???

C what did you do for a cover?

I need to buy a new full length cover but no one has the correct specs for the rum runner that I can find?

i use 2 hd poly-tarps...15x12 i think, end to end over the mooring canvas and run a brace from bow to windscreen...this year i'm trying to let air move better, so i opened up some venting, but put a sheet of plastic 10x30 between boat and poly tarp....should keep water from drizzling through the mooring cover and keep the little nasties off the deck...nothing custom here....guess that's why it gets cleaned off before the truck in the winter...:drink:

when you say mooring cover are talking about a cockpit cover Or a full length cover?


In the winter I have used my cockpit cover, Then a huge 30x 15 poly tarp. This year I think I am going to use some large PVC pipes to build a shelter for it and keep the tarp way about the boat so it gets a ton of air over and around it.
I can assemble and disassemble the pipes with some sheet metal self tappers.


We do this on the job for equipement sometimes

I was hoping the new garage would be built by now but no such luck. The comercial building I am working on and the new boarn are killing me time wise.

cockpit cover...i tried the pvc thing, too, but there was too much flex for my liking, and i couldn't get the snow off the top..i like this new idea because i can easily use it all summer to keep things clean..i like simple..

Hey Chris,
Great Vids! I watched a couple of them twice.

For a winter cover I use a double tarp, no cockpit cover. I use nylon line and a few 2X4s to build a frame 2-3' above the deck and through the tarps over. Lots of air can blow through and most of the snow slides off.

thanks...
does that frame rest on the ground or on the boat?
i'd like to store w/o cockpit cover but fear the water.
is the line to make "ribs" for the frame?
c

I am so jealous hopefully next year I will get to do more.

High Chris,
The frame is nothing more than (3) T type supports with towels ductaped on, a few lines, and 2 tarps.
I like to leave it so there's plenty of air flow.
Every now and then during the Winter my 6 year old and I climb in to hide from mom...:evilb:

i gotta make me one of those....for the hiding!
she always checks the barn first...i'm running out of places...

anyone know tha actual rum runner measurements?
I think I am gonna buy a nice new cover since the prices have gone down.

Its too cold to go out and measure when I am sure soneone on here knows the sizing

anyone who tries to tell you his is bigger than yours...(you can finish that thought...)...go measure your own, because you ain't gonna measure mine!!:kiss:

btw...cold makes it smaller..

christian I think were talking about different things. Although it is true in both cases MINE is bigger than yours. LOL


I thought I boats had the exact dimensions at one time but I cant find it anywhere

no, i'm pretty sure mine's longer....but just in case....data!

thanks chris, I appreciate the sizing (of the boat that is)


Its funny the option list doesnt show many of the upgraded items my boat has on it I wonder if they were added later or if that an earlier leaflet.
and can that O/B weight be after the outboards were hung?

Seems oftly light weight doesnt it?
maybe thats why my boat likes to fly so easy.

Is it just me or is that sutphen stripe upside down?
