Hmm...It seem like my boat is the odd man out on this thread. There are some good stories behind all these boats so maybe me and moneysucker can elaberate a little later. Oh, how about some stars????

FJ thanks for posting the Pix. Actually, Rubber Ducky is the odd man out. He is the only one that made it to the river this weekend. Hot Dogger and I are goimng to El Cap for test and tune on Sun.
-
I'll go on Sunday if i'm not at the river. I might try bringing my rideplate down a little more and bring my nozzle down to see if I can get it to take a set. This porpoise problem is kicking my ass.

I'll be out a El Cap or San V this Sunday as well once I change out the flexplate I chipped at CBBB

~Ty I don't wake up early enough to go to San V. You must have the yellow crusader I saw out there last month.
-
You bastards are in trouble now! Milkshake maker huh??? You want chocolate or vanilla?
-
Hey, how the hell did you figure out how to turn the computer on? Oh wait, Ange is that you? I thought Skis' fingers were to big to hit one key at a time. :D

fingers too big??....well you know what they say about large hands... oh wait you don't have that problem do you?

~Ty I don't wake up early enough to go to San V. You must have the yellow crusader I saw out there last month. Actually the Crusader was feet wet just last Friday for the first time since the new motor. If I can get this flexplate changed out in time I might be out there Sunday.
See ya then.

cyclone:
sweet boats! Thanks Cyclone, How did your rig run this weekend? I wish we could attend the CBBB but it wasnt in the cards. Next year we will all be there for sure.
I will get to Petrofied momentarily, please hold.

Toes Southwind Tunnel Dragsters are my all time favirot jets every time some one post a pic of one up I say this.I for one would like to hear some stories.Sick boats

fryjet- it ran real good friday night when it was nice and cool out. We hit 92 on the gps with one passenger and full tanks of gas. Saturday and Sunday was a different story altogether. The 120-plus degree heat really took its toll. I saw the low side of 90 mph for rest of the weekend. Finished up sunday with a big oil leak from the intake manifold that maid a mess of my transom. All in all it was good. The boat stayed together through one hellacious race back from Topoc Gorge with HB Jet and Tom Bandy (not sure if he's on the boards) racing the whole way back to the hotel.

LETS START THE BIDDING
-
FJ, that is just plain wrong! Besides I already made the offer. He can always come to Cy's Boat Pawn, I have a standing offer. You better be able to beat the hot dog boat or there are going to be some serious problems. But I will bid $500.00 it is not a featherlite but I guess I can do something with it for the price.
-
Just to let it be known, HotDogger is Petrofieds' second boat in the fleet and she is going down. Hell, maybe it'll be up for sale after the weekend, who knows?
Cyclone, good to here about the boat and yes, hot air temp sucks. Thats why you need to make your own air in the form of nitrous :D I have a 150 shot and it gives me about 7 mph and 400 RPM on the top but the hole shot is where its at, huge difference. Give it a try, with a good set up you'll like it alot.

~Ty Cruise out, it'll be a good time. Even though it's a small lake I just like El Cap better than San V, that place is so damn crowded and rough plus the patrols are always watching you. So hop on that flexplate delio and get out there. We will have the horse shoes and the radar gun too.
F.J.
-
Sounds like a plan. We are moving out shop over to Wheatlands this Friday and Saturday so hopefully Sunday I can unwind a bit.
I have a fuel pick-up tube issue on one tank but 10 gallons on the other will be just fine for a 1/8 mile stretchs on El Cap's backside.
I'll keep ya posted.
BTW- I agree with the harrassing at San V. They give us OT guys too much trouble. Funny thing is the bass fishers with their clamp on's haul around faster than we do sometimes....What gives?
-
Nice pics Fry Jet. I have the same boat. In fact, there are a few Challenger guys that post at my site. You guys should drop in and register. There is a contingent from the SD area
-
Thanks Brian, I'll register and post some pics after this weekends outing with the good digital camera.

Fry - It's way more than you could afford :p
-
You are correctamundo on that one Mrs Petrofied. Besides, there are way too many procedures to go thru before I could operate a vessel of that magnitude. Hell, I dont even think I could make the damn squirty bottle for primer thingy work right.

F.J. You and me both. I'm afraid to drive the damn thing. Too many buttons and knobs and push pull things! I think Skee designed it that way for a reason.. Hummmmm......
On another note, I'm looking forward to seeing the hotdog kick the Frymobile's ass this weekend. It ought to be a good show! Who would have thought that the POS would do over 70! jawdrop
-
Umm, please use the correct name for my vessel. She has some cool brown metal flake and a small porpoise problem on the top end that makes her buck a tad so that is why we call her the "Disco Donkey", not the Frymobile, jeez Ange get with the program.
I forgot to ask you how you liked the sunset toolie booze cruise last weekend, I heard you guys had a GREAT time. :D

F.J. Disco Donkey - I like it.
Oh yeah, if you call being almost slammed into a rock wall and being lost in the toolies after dark fun, then we had a F'n blast! Now Skee's side of the story varies a bit, but we all know who to trust.
-
Angie, I thought the hotdog boat beat up bad on the ugly duckling!
-
Hey Ski, are you finished rigging that awesome purple and white crusader tunnel. Is it still for sale? If so how much and what does it have?
I understand the ugly duckling is 0-2 racing. Was he interested in the crusader. If so he should probably buy it, it is a better boat for his money!!!!!

Rubber ducky is un able to defend himself, he is computer illiterate like Mr. Petrofied. I can post pictures of cookin' when it came home if you want. Too bad that boat won't get done until the temp. goes down. Petrofird is like the bulldog. He can't be outside with no AC. Oh my roommate wants to look at your brothers boat.
-
Well, we all have to start sometime. Someday the cookin will be finished!! He only has to make and mount the rear plates, mount the alternator, mount the seats and wire the boat. Wait a minute, that how I delivered it to him back in june!!
Hopefully he will have it done this week. Hopefully that is!!
ROB? Called and is suppose to be by this evening to look at the boat.
Is it true though, that the Rubber Ducky only ran 60-65 mph!!

Now Skee's side of the story varies a bit, but we all know who to trust. I thought the sunset toolie booze cruise sounded fun. I would never take my boat back there I would have to be at no wake speed cause I couldnt turn like I could in the Tahiti. I used to love those toolie runs. The bad part is having to pull out the weeds when you are done. I heard that trip was completely under controll at all times and your location was also known. Everyone panicked for no reason. eek!
-
Smacktalker???? Hmmmmmm, what boat can I sell you? I'll even sell you HotDog if you want it. There is a rumor of a blue and red Daytona for sale and the owner is very motivated. I think the boat scared him so he's going to for a 16 foot Tahiti powered by a Oldsmobuble, is'nt that right Darrin? If you finished the third grade then you'd know why you cant drive your own boat. :D By the way your brother says Hi.

Fryjet, you can't pick on the stupid. It's not fair they can't read! Besides Darrin is scared of his boat. That why he never drives it!! He has some dream of building a 18" edge. I thought you had to have a J O B in order to buy things!!

F.J. It's not Darrin, It is Cookin'. Darrin doesn't know how to use a computer, it is almost like work.
Rubber ducky lost to hot dog but had a shoe that wasn't built for that boat and hung down 1/2' or so below the keel and his tabs weren't set and he had no ride plate. Not to say that there isn't work that can be done to speed it up, like fill the bottle. Set up first. Just have to do a little experimenting.
-
You thought I was Darrin!! That a crime in some states!!!
Set-up up is key, but the main reason I can see is that he is running a FORD. If he drop the ford and install a chevy, he would gain about 10-15mph!

Na, I knew you were'nt Darrin. I figured it out when Cy piped up. Im just setting some bait for him so I can see if he can work a keyboard. I see Crookin is running great with the Chevy, oh wait, thats right, its still under destruction at JP South huh?

Let me guess... too much shoe in that one too? jawdrop As I remeber you weren't even in the same photo!
-
Crookin at you put it, is still under construction at Backyard Boat Builders. It does run a chevy, a very simple, single carbureted, pump gas 468. Hopefully it will run faster than I can row. That way I can keep up with the ugly duckling. When we race the infamous Hot Dog.
No matter what, currently everyone is faster than Petrofried. Every one except me!!. Who is still waiting for him to finish my boat!!!!!
Ski- ARE YOU DONE YET!!!!!
