...a little update

Ok..Boats stripped down for final welding and paint. Added a hatch up front, and for jollies I’m going to weld a bung on the intake for a pressure gauge (guess I’m not done making grates for it). Also, I seem to keep knocking paint off of stuff and polishing. The exhaust was the most recent...

Well, it’s been a while. Been prodding around here occasionally, and little done on the boat. Sealed the intake, I think I’m done fiddling around with intake grates and scoops. It hooks now, and ran 39 with two dudes the last time out. Next will be to strip it all down and shoot the inside...

Couple updates since the last post. I haven't had a chance to seal up the pump shoe, but got a new scoop on the grate, and it seems to have helped. Still going to build another one that's smoother and a little larger. Also, for balky got these seats in...white was a terrible choice...but I...

As far as filling those gaps, I got a big ol tube of 5200 on the shelf...

I appreciate your comment on my thread. If you find some time, I would love to see what you did with the loader grate. Not so much as to pinch your idea, but to save me some potential head scratching.

So, my variation of the loader grate did, well, zero. Working on round three of that now. Flat Bottom, thanks for the comment, duely noted. I am curious how far down you had to hang your grate to create such drag to lose 3mph. At this point ide take a top end loss just to hole shot this thing...

...finally got some seat brackets mocked up and tacked in. Not much progress, otherwise. The aat helped, and the boat was noticeably faster with this addition, although I didn't think to bring the gps. Still suffering from cavitation, but I'm reluctant to tear it all down currently to re do a...

Still fumbling around with this tachometer. If anyone is willing to chime in on the wiring, it would be greatly appreciated. It's a 1994 ski doo 587 tach, and a same year sea doo gts everything else. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

So...trailer got a new coat of paint, as I got tired of fiddling with aluminum scraps to make brackets for the seats. I ended up getting some cheap pedestals and knocking 4 inches out of them to arrive at what we determined was a comfortable seat height. Ended up being 9" from the floor to the...

Been testing this thing with 30mph lawn chairs. Gonna make up some brackets for these today, figure out how to wire a ski doo tachometer to this here electrical box, and try to get a new dash bezel made to doll up the cheese ball helm. Further tests are on hold til CA DMV returns my paperwork...

Got the aat in the mail. Thanks Bruce!

So...gps'd 34 with three dudes upriver today. Ran it as shown in the last photo. SC, your right. Dude up front leveled the boat out, but also wetted out the boat A LOT. still cavitation to the point of not being able to hole shot this pile, but better than before with the pad. My buddy was able...

Thanks for the quick input. Yeah,it's pretty naked currently, so some weight might be the easiest solution. As for now, Pad on the bottom got 86'd, and it's time to come up with an alternative...to be tacked in for testing this time, not seamed!!!

It's a 1448 monark with a 587, and 144mm pump with no trim. Used factory shoe, so it's 1 degree down...ish.
