lol rolback1 rolback1 rolback1 nice boat you lady have some tallent when is the next trip being takein (fishing)?pm me

[Chevy1500z71]

Chad, next trip is Monday-Wednesday... you need to actually get 3 days off of work, get the days off and we will talk lol. right nowAaarons going Monday-wed but he really don't care if he has to wait till next and he still hasn't even gotten his fishing license yet or talked to his parents or anything so its really up to you if you want to come this trip or next.

[Chevy1500z71]

ran it yesterday and it would only do about 20mph and just dig, didnt wana get on a plane and that thing would not wind out liek a 2 stroke should all becasue of that damn long shaft. so today im building the transom up 5" taller. the motor itself runs great tho, starts up quicker than my truck lol. heres a few new pics




o yea, i made a console and everything since i got all the steering and throttle stuff for CHEAP. still need a tach for it.


i talked to a cop guy on the Florida sportsman forum in the "ask the law" section and he ran the numbers, the boat didn't come back stolen, he also contacted the real owner. he said i should have no prob registering it. im calling him today and getting it done...

btw thats a private lake, so its legal.

[Hondabeefast]

nice!, lookin good man....How is its stability?

[Chevy1500z71]

nice!, lookin good man....How is its stability?

with 2 people, fishign off of it aint to bad at all. when your running its really stable under power. im gonna run it with the 5" taller transom today or tomorrow, im inside now just waiting for the paint to dry on the wood im using for the transom, got the aluminum all bent and ready to go...

[Chevy1500z71]

transom didnt fix the prob, turns out i had the throttle hooked directly to the carb, it has to be hooked to the timing advance plate/throttle setup so that it advances the timing as i give it more throttle. i fixed that, built the transom and the thing MOVES. it feels really fast on the water, but a realistic speed is probably about 30mph with 3 people, a tnak of gas, all the fishing gear, ect. when i ran it back to the ramp just myself with no one in it, it was crzy fast, it jumps up on plane at half throttle, itl do about 35+mph at wide open, when i turn it kicks the back end out like a jet ski lol, its quite a handful controlling the throttle turning...

got a few pics ill post in a sec.

[Chevy1500z71]

today it had enough power to drive it right into the long bed lol


we had to launch it in a spot were nobody would complain, it wasnt easy.

best pic i could get of it running

[1FasterBlaster]

   Maybe I should take up fishing. Good work on the deck. Makes me want to drink beer already.

[gearhead400]

looks like it was a fun project with a great outcome! Need to find me somethin like that

[Hondabeefast]

Sweet!!! 

[Chevy1500z71]

im putting a small bilge pump in the back now since it takes on a little water over the transom on a hard corner if im not on plane.

as for right now, i forgot to hook up the hulls ground to the battery and it touched the positive terminal, and all my ground wires went up n smoke, so i have to run some fresh wires... not a fun job 

[Hondabeefast]
