Hey Sanger, I think you got treated pretty nicely over there. A year ago they would have come after you with flamethrowers. I guess they are mellowing out with age. Or maybe they just know that any good running jet would whip up on that hydro of yours http://free.***boat.net/ubb/wink.gif Now I'm not trying to stir up any crap or anything........ http://free.***boat.net/ubb/tongue.gif Really, I'm not http://free.***boat.net/ubb/biggrin.gif
Did you get a chance to stop by and talk to Tim at the races last month?
Planning on being at there next weekend?

Hey Hydro boy,
We (performance boaters) are a dying breed, like it or not, I don't care what propulsion you run, if you like to run fast, that's cool and good by me and most jetters. Just remember in all performance boats, cubic bucks always wins, no matter the drive. Have fun, do you run at Ming? I'm rolling up to watch on the 7th.

Picklefork 1, I have'nt checked to be honest, I'll call tomorrow and find out for sure. Would sure be nice if it was at Elsinore, we'd have to round up Wrightnow and make him run his boat.

Oh we didnt let you have it...we were pretty nice to you. Of course "Jet Preformance" means a little somthing different to me, as my "jet boat" does in fact have a v-drive in it. http://free.***boat.net/ubb/smile.gif
I also said I would run ya...but didnt get a response... http://free.***boat.net/ubb/smile.gif
Happy boating.

Loud? ...Yep. And it gets 2 gallons to the mile at 100%. (yes...you read that right)

GasTurbine,
I am VERY impressed!! Thats some great GET IT DONE attitude! Now that you have worked out the bugs do you mind telling us more in the way of RPM, Gear ratio and prop #'s? How many prop changes did you go through and what were those rides like. http://free.***boat.net/ubb/eek.gif
I talk with 1or2 guys a year that say they are trying to do that. You guys have DONE IT, I admire that.
If you feel that all your angles are working right for it now, I would sure love to build you a super neat and strong V-DRIVE for it!! http://free.***boat.net/ubb/biggrin.gif Tom Bentley (530-885-0531) PS, I also like that Rogers hull. Where are they located now days?

Hey, Mr. Gas Turbine, we need you at a Michigan Hot Boat meet this year! First one is May 19 at Wampler's Lake in Brooklyn, MI. Should be 40-50 boats there, lots more meets all summer. Also, the Indiana guys run pretty hard over on the Wabash and up in Coldwater. We would really like to see your ride.

Turbine, Your not to far from Lake of the ozarks why don't you bring that nasty boat down here for the Ozark shootout, these people would shit there draws. If you think you can do that let me know maybe I can get a sponser. How fast does it go?]Originally posted by GasTurbine:

Sanger Hydro, Get off of that hillbilly shit. Post a picture of your Hydro and let us be the Judge. And answer his challenge on the race. Smart ass people don't make it to far in racing Originally posted by 76 sanger hydro:

We run mostly at Alum Creek...it is unlimited for speed and HP. the only way to get "run off" an unlimited waterway, would be for noise...which they seem pretty lax on.

What's the DB level,when that barbeque is wound up ? Any prob with the local authority? I remember reading about Howard Arneson's boat,he's having an auxilary engine to putt putt out from SF harbour,before he fires up the turbine,because of the sound level!

"Hillbilly"? I think not..."radical" would be a better choice of words.
As for exceeding the abilities of the vessel...well...its like stuffing a alcohol blown hemi into a Ford Pinto. Was the Pinto designed for 180 mph or 2000 hp?...of course not. But can someone with the appropriate knowledge and skill make it happen, and do so safely...of course.
We have been engineering and building hi-perf boats for years, and have extensive knowledge about turbines...do you think you have what it takes to put a project like this together? And to make it work *correctly* and safe?
We know what we are doing...do you? I wonder if you even built your own boat from scratch.
As my Father often says..."I have already forgotten, what you will never know". http://free.***boat.net/ubb/smile.gif
Happy Hot-Boating all.

Dont know the actual level, but it *loud*! We wear helicopter noise-cancelling Clark headsets while at speed. We *can* talk/hear at idle, but its a job.
Ohio just passed the noise law last year, so we are playing dumb. Been out 6 times, with no hassle.
Methinks the water-cops are more interested in getting the late evening yahoos, who got their boats from Daddy, and have no real water experience. That includes the hopped-up jet-skis too...some of those can be *real* loud with after-market pipes.
We tend to stay by ourselves, and run straight shots when spooling her up.
Take care.

The jet runs at about 22k rpm WFO. It goes thru a 3:1 reduction on the output shaft. It then feeds the 1:.83 v-drive...this gives us about 6k at the screw.
After many gear/prop changes, we settled on the current 3-blade 29x24 screw. I have had about 6 different screws on her...and yes...some rides were scarier than others. The other hassle was beaching her...taking off the screw underwater...walking to the locked truck 300' away...while carrying 30-40# of bronze alloy...reverse procedure to install... http://free.***boat.net/ubb/smile.gif
The 1500hp rated top-loader is working fine for now...Ill give ya a call if we break something.
Rogers is still in California, but being run by his son. Our first hot-boat was an 1969 18' Rogers. We stuffed a 6-71 blown Chrysler Hi-Power hemi in that one, but it was...shall I dare say here...a Berkley Pump that propelled her. http://free.***boat.net/ubb/smile.gif
Take care.
